Say that not to be a buzz kill, but because the simple, mathematical reality is steep in terms of getting to that 60-vote threshold. democrats do not have unanimity amongst themselves and there are democrats that are not in favor of this. president joe biden has not come out for legalizing this either and it should be said that congress is lagging behind the american public on this issue. two-thirds of this country according to multiple polls now favors legalizing marijuana and support has risen...

>> the right to vote freely, the right to vote fairly, the right to have your vote counted. the democratic threshold is liberty. with it, anything is possible. without it, nothing, nothing. for our democracy and the work to deliver our work and our people, it is up to all of us to protect that right. this is a test of our time, what im here to talk about today. just think about the past election. 102-year-old woman in arkansas who voted for the first time on the very spot she once picked cotton....
