Do nothing Democrats at it again

Textbook do nothing Democrat’s. Zero originality. Let some think-tank douchebags from 50+ yrs ago write legislation that R’s also likes and they just hit CTRL + C and CTRL + V again.
FUNFACT: The last time this was renewed (2006?), the vote was bi-partisan, with something upwards of 340 votes in favor.
Something changed since then.

Doesn't sound terribly controversial, when put in light of what the original Act intended to do, along with the undercutting that went on in 2013.
Perhaps not. But it does make revisions to the VRA, which is why Republicans didn’t support it like they did the last time.
The difference is that they have embraced voter suppression and anti-Democratic policies like never before.
They don't support it, because voter suppression is literally the only way they can win states anymore.
They haven't 'governed' at all over the past decade: no new healthcare solutions - just trying to destroy existing law; no new immigration or DACA reforms; no common-sense gun regulation and tracking. Nothing.
They cannot win without ideas, so the only solution they have is vote suppression.
House Dems passed a bill in committee to federally decriminalize cannabis. It'll eventually get voted on on the House floor and when it passes the Senate Republicans, led by Mitch "I cut my teeth during the Civil War" McConnel will shoot it down like he does all House legislation that is passed and presented to the Senate. Then idiots on HROT will once again decry "do nothing Democrats" even though it's the Republicans who have an done nothing and block every piece of legislation that Democrats propose and pass that would actually improve the United States.
Wait, what? You mean impeachment as outlined in the Constitution? The document most dear to all Americans and the Supreme Law of the Land? Voter suppression is CONSTITUTIONAL?
