The reconciliation bill is quite unpopular. So Democrats have decided to win the Twitter vote.
Unable to pass their welfare-state expansion with a simple majority, Democrats have reportedly shelved Build Back Better for the year. Now prepare for the entire left-wing infrastructure â politicians as well as the establishment press â to pivot hard from the fake âsocial safety netâ bill to the fake âvoting rightsâ bill, which will quickly become the most vital piece of legislation in the history of the republic. Just earlier today, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders, who not long ago heralded the mere framework of Build Back Better as âby far the most significant piece of legislation ever passed in the world,â told reporters that it was now more important to get a âvoting rightsâ bill through the Senate.
The âJim Crow 2.0â smear â aimed at the Twittersphere, because there isnât a single competitive race in 2022 in which âvoting rightsâ attacks are going to make a difference â will only succeed in further corroding confidence in elections. The demagogic lie that âdemocracyâ is under attack in states that employ basic standards of voter integrity is an emotional appeal that does not stand up to scrutiny. It is a debate that Republicans should embrace. Democrats can keep treating voter ID requirements as if they were poll taxes, but most Americans support the standard that, incidentally, existed only a few years before the 2020 election anarchy.
