WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden called out two fellow Democrats on Tuesday in explaining why he hasn’t enacted some of the most ambitious elements of his agenda, noting that slim majorities in the House and evenly divided Senate have hamstrung legislative negotiations around key issues like voting rights.

Biden, speaking during an event marking the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa race massacre, responded to critics who question why he hasn’t been able to get a wide-reaching voting rights bill passed.

“Well, because Biden only has a majority of effectively four votes in the House, and a tie in the Senate — with two members of the Senate who voted more with my Republican friends,” he lamented.

1. Soon Manchin & Sinema must choose saving democracy or the filibuster.

3. What's Wrong With Those Two?

Do they not comprehend the peril we’re in, the all out assault on our democracy? That they put themselves at risk for unflattering mentions in future history books and documentaries?

How clueless must they be?

Don’t go down in history like that you two. Get with it!

5. What's Wrong With Those Two?

I have friends living here in California who "escaped" just about the time that crazy man in WV started his rise to power there in the 1990's, and they've always hated his guts. We know WHY. They were right about him, all these years later. I have friends in Arizona in the retirement community--mostly Democrats and a few Republicans--and they tell me that Sinema's catching REAL anger there, as many who voted for her and they're grown to hate her with a passion, which is why her numbers are cratering, yet they tell me that she's still off in la la land, totally unaware, and blissful (Yeah, I don't believe that), thinking that she's doing the right thing for the Democratic party and those who voted for her. She's NOT and probably doesn't care to read the room possibly because of all the 'alleged' dark money that's being funneled to her from dark political forces on the alt-right.

4. Do you want to be treated nicely* by Republicans or do you want to save American democracy?

* for a limited time only

It is a very difficult decision

6. I read yesterday

on another thread about how we are all bad democrats on this site because we are suggesting that democrats vote for democratic policies (something about lockstep). I guess President Biden now joins the rank of bad DUers.

9. Yeah, strange that

I thought it was always "support blue, no matter who"

7. I doubt either one are true Dems. Their lack of core values (LIKE VOTING) tells me so. DINOs.

8. Wow, more Debbie downers.... Why are you telling the truth?

10. I'm glad he called them out. And, "the critics" know damn well why

he hasn't "been able" to get a wide-reaching voting rights bill passed.
