      I’d rather not have the equivalent of the Florida or Texas legislature running the country. That’s worse than no progress.

        Same. Unfortunately, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act was less important than centrists’ adherence to the Jim Crow Filibuster.

          Floridians had rights, until suddenly they didn’t.

          Rights aren’t so important when they can easily taken away.

            Rights aren’t important to you at all. As long as Democrats get to keep their stupid procedural excuse for inaction, everything else is secondary.

              And yet they are taking action where they can, like in Ohio, Kansas, etc.

              You are willing to risk everything for short term again, most of us aren’t.
