Talk about being on the wrong side of history.😠

I swear to Gawd the MSM is determined to not call a thing a thing. Why are they still saying @Sen_JoeManchin and @SenatorSinema support voting rights? They don’t and folks should stop pretending that they do.

And hell no to doing the bare minimum for them. It’s ridiculous.

I am profoundly disappointed that the Senate has failed to stand up for our democracy. I am disappointed — but I am not deterred.

We will continue to advance necessary legislation and push for Senate procedural changes that will protect the fundamental right to vote.

— President Biden (@POTUS) January 20, 2022

Thank you Senate Democrats (with two notable exceptions).

We didn't win today but we will win.

PROUD of the fight, the passion, the dedication and the moral courage!

Thank you for defending our Constitution and our Vote.

Get some well deserved rest.

The Democratic Party used every trick they had up their sleeve to try and get this done tonight. I applaud their Herculean effort.

Let’s get the Democrats up for re-election in red and purple states back into the Senate and vote in some new colleagues for them to get this done!

49-51: Senate blocked the Freedom to Vote John R. Lewis Act from advancing to a final passage vote along party lines. 60 votes were needed. Schumer changed his vote to No to allow for another vote. Democrats Manchin and Sinema both voted Yes. pic.twitter.com/1azc3xJ3J9

It’s beyond infuriating that Mitch McConnell can kill filibuster to confirm 3 Supreme Court justices for Trump with 51 votes to take away voting rights but it requires 60 votes for US Senate to protect voting rights

— Ari Berman (@AriBerman) January 20, 2022

Manchin . . .
Sinema . . .
50 Republican Senators . . .

It's damn hard to get LBJ sized priorities without LBJ sized majorities.

We will fight again another day. It is NOT over!#53PickUp

Let's direct most blame where it belongs: On the 16 Senate GOP hypocrites who voted for the Voting Rights bill in 2006 but not now. They are cowards.

— Jonathan Alter (@jonathanalter) January 20, 2022

Stunning stat: 48 Democrats who supported reforming filibuster to pass voting rights bills represent 34 MILLION more Americans than 52 senators (all Republicans + Sinema/Manchin) who opposed it

— Ari Berman (@AriBerman) January 20, 2022

I'm thankful to the @VP for asking to be put in charge of the fight for voting rights, fighting for them these past many months, & continuing to fight for them in the coming months & years. Leaders take on tough fights. They lead. She has & will.

— David Darmofal (@david_darmofal) January 20, 2022

I had questioned @SenSchumer's strategy on voting rights, but I think he did something important tonight. He got everyone on record. Some of us had a gut feeling that maybe Manchin and Sinema were the vocal ones covering for other Dems. But it wasn't true. We only need two.

There will be lots of time to be mad at Manchin/Sinema but we should also take time to be grateful to the 48 Dems – including Senate lifers like Leahy and Feinstein, red staters like Tester and in-cycle folks like Kelly – who did the right thing, and Schumer for forcing the issue

SEN. DUCKWORTH: "All I'm asking for is the bare minimum. All I'm begging them to do is merely to not sit in silence in the face of grave injustice. To not let being partisan keep you from being a patriot."

Manchin and Sinema aren’t voting their consciences or doing this out of some respect for tradition.

They’re bought and sold by corporations determined to dismantle government as a public good and to undermine democracy as a means of profit.

— Jared Yates Sexton (@JYSexton) January 20, 2022

Today, Manchin and Sinema sold themselves for a few pieces of silver. Their praise for MLK and John Lewis wasn't anything but empty insincere words. Neither one of them care about democracy. pic.twitter.com/4HcZwPDHVI

SEN. COLLINS says full restoration of the preclearance provisions of the VRA isn't necessary because Section 2 still exists. SEN. OSSOFF shoots back asking, "but if Section 4 & Section 5 were vital when you voted to reauthorize them in 2006, why aren't they vital today?"

— Democracy Docket (@DemocracyDocket) January 20, 2022

I see Mitch McConnell has given Manchin his talking points. You can hear it all through his phony speech.

— grannystanding4Truth (@granny_st) January 19, 2022

The degree to which Republicans are squealing like stuck pigs over voting rights tells you exactly how much they rely on suppression.

— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) January 19, 2022

Joe Manchin voted for Neil Gorsuch after Mitch McConnell made up non-existent Senate rule to block Merrick Garland 8 months before election then killed filibuster to confirm Gorsuch. So spare us the nonsense about preserving Senate traditions

— Ari Berman (@AriBerman) January 19, 2022

We are at a moment of reckoning in America. Too many in the Senate failed our democracy tonight. Others of us must now commit ourselves to the action that will strengthen and restore that democracy — or we risk losing it.

Instead he delivered 0.

Senator Reverend Warnock just gave a stirring and passionate speech about voting rights.

He asks his fellow Senators if they are going to meet this moment and asks the fundamental question:

Make no mistake.

This wasn't a failure by the Democratic Party.

It was obstructionism by the Republican Party against our precious, almost sacred, right to vote.#53PickUp

Glass half full.

Manchin and Sinema were the ONLY hold outs.

They don’t cover for anybody.
Our Party save 2 is United for voting rights.

We need 2-3 Senators. You got your orders. Time to work.

The thought of Democrats steamrolling McConnell with a Dem House and 53/47 Senate is enough to keep a smile on my face until November 2022. 💪🏾😤

We now have our mandate for November. Hold all of our Senate Seats, send 2-3 more Democrats to the Senate & hold the House.

Some of us been saying this for a year. I hope y'all are ready to get to work.

I see some folks say Sen Party City wig is going to switch parties.

No she's not. On top of everything else, Great Value Rainbow Brite lives for the attention. If she were to switch parties no one would pay attention to her. Republicans don't empower their female senators.

THIS is why those voting rights bills were needed

At almost the exact time the senate is expected to fail on voting rights bills tonight, the board of elections in Lincoln County, GA will take a vote on whether to close 6 of the county's 7 polling locations https://t.co/TlsKLfyGn9
