what are the Democrats are going to do

to fix this situation with these voting laws these GOQ's are putting in place. They have gone cold hearted crazy to make sure their guy win and they stay in power. Where are we now with moving in to stop this voter suppression? Where do we go now and what can we do if Joe do not budge to give us the easy way out. I read somewhere that Turtle is encouraging his members to con and sweet talk Joe to keep the Filibuster in place.What do we do now because if we do not move someway, we may as well give up and go home because these insurrectionist will not give up power if they take it and we will stay in the minority. I am scared guys.

That gives AG Garland the laws to unleash the gates of hell.

Schumer needs to navigate removal of filibuster for CIVIL RIGHTS legislation and shove them through.

If Sinema and Manchin won't vote for my right to vote - then we go for Romney and Toomey.

Murkowski is getting crazy money from Mitch for her next election so she's a non starter.

Since there isnt anything that can be done people are gonna have to learn their suppression laws and make a plan ... if you dont this stuff wont end .
And people are gonna have to turn out for elections other than just presidential ones . Theyre gonna have to fight for this.

but we certainly should NOT "give up and go home". Even if the suppression laws stay in place we must still get out the vote.
