WASHINGTON — All but conceding defeat, President Joe Biden said Thursday he's now unsure the Democrats' major elections and voting rights legislation can pass Congress this year. He spoke at the Capitol after a key fellow Democrat, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, dramatically announced her refusal to go along with changing Senate rules to muscle the bill past a Republican filibuster.

4. Joe can't concede defeat on this. It's time to go to the mattresses.

This should be the one issue every single Democratic politician must be willing to take no prisoners and make no compromises on.

This IS the hill to die on. Whether people here want to accept this or not, a concession of defeat on Voting Rights will come to define President Biden's presidency. His ratings will continue to slide. He must keep fighting. He needs to start generating forward momentum, and this is the issue to do it with.

And those two horrible “Democratic” Senators are dancing on America’s grave with the GOP.
