I think this was a brilliant move by all of the voting rights groups. People are tired…tired of being told “NO”. People are tired of Manchenema getting in the way of true democracy and fairness to all. People are tired of being incarcerated for things they didn’t they didn’t commit. People are really tired that those who have committed fraud, who tell lies, those who have murdered, those who are defying subpoenas are not behind bars and serving time in prison. Fed up and just TIRED!!

Thank you!! Democrats have been treating their party like a church in which papal infallibility of its controlling operatives cannot be questioned nor elected Democrats publicly be held accountable.

The voting rights groups are trying to pull the party out of this death spiral that we have been placed into by the utter nonsense of "vote for the lesser evil" and "nothing will fundamentally change." That has only tightened rule by a corrupt, increasingly unaccountable, and ruthlessly terrifying minority.

I know you're angry with good cause, but, Marlene, you provided me with my first laugh, which is already a long day - 'Manchenema'. Yes, ma'am, you are a wordsmith! I laughed again as I pronounced it!

Laughed out loud. Kyrsten Sinema sometimes gets translated on voice transcriptions as "Christian Enema."

Ed, I'm staying is this section! Marlene's creativity mixed a cocktail of desperation with humor.

Manchin gets shitloads of money from fossil fuel companies to block BBB and any other bills that they feel will hurt their wealth. He is an immense demon for the people of West Virginia and the rest of this country.
