It is not true that Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema hate voting rights. They love voting rights! Kyrsten Sinema would be delighted to vote for the voting rights legislation, but she is going to be far too busy defending the none speaking filibuster and washing all concerns about voter suppression out of her hair. If you think that statement is sexist consider this: Joe Manchin would be delighted to vote for voter rights legislation, but he is going to be far too busy slicking his hair down with coal oil while reading the cue cards so generously supplied to him by Charles Koch!
Are the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution less important than a senate rule that allows a minority to thwart the will of the majority? With friends like Manchin and Sinema democracy does not need any enemies. Let me put this in terms that even GOP evangelicals might understand. Any democracy that wants to remain a democracy considers voter suppression evil. And “[r]emaining silent in the face of evil is evil.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer Furthermore, not to act is to act in furtherance of the evil you should actively oppose!
