Democrats: republicans dont want you to win. its that simple. they want no successes on your watch, and they certainly dont want to participate in said victories. so what does that leave the democrats, david? >> well, listen, joe manchin himself talked about maybe we could bring the threshold down to 55. thats worth pursuing. but i tend to agree with that column. i dont think you will get five republicans. we have carve out around judicial dominations. i think we might have to get creative here,...

Secure voting rights is not an option. im the first senator in our country to be elected completely by mail. im a democrat. the second senator who did he elected by mail was gordon smith. he was a republican. we could address those issues in a fair way. >> so the difficulty, right, were finding with so many things, it happens on covid relief, it is still a bar on infrastructure, it is certainly a bar really just a red brick wall on voting rights. is getting to that 60 vote threshold and there is...

Of the 60 vote threshold. shes not going to change her position. whats vexing for progressives she isnt arguing unlike joe manchin that the filibuster pro motors bipartisanship was an opening up but it promotes stability in policy-making and prevent wild swings in policy from one governing party to the other. it doesnt matter if the senate is not able to get voting rights through. shes indicating she is not going to reverse her position and this is not working out the way progressives had hoped ...

Really want is to be able to move forward on voting rights and ultimately be successful. short of that, because of the filibuster and all of that, an even split and unity within the party is sort of the best they could hope for, right? >> reporter: thats right. thats why the discussion of the filibuster comes up all the time with this issue of voting rights. this vote today needs 60 votes just to open the debate to get onto the legislation. because theyre not going to get the ten republicans, th...

Make that compromise? this 55 vote threshold instead of 60, weve had some democrats open to that and ross conservative writer at the "times," is that a compromise or is that to radioactive for some. >> it is not like the founding fathers chiseled 60 into the stone tablet of the constitution. it was three-fourths and then it became three-fifths. so they have the complexibility to change it. but the question is, is the appetite there to do it. and the op-ed suggests it is not just the filibuster b...

That will oversee the counting process, absentee voting, application requests, having to have an i.d. with the county process required, who will get to count the ballots, how it is counted, and what are the results? so the election boards are critical to that process and so you will see that this could be a lop-sided decision they can process and implementation. election laws. >> thank you both very much for starting off our discussion tonight. thank you. joining us now, jonathan alter, politi...

And assess that in terms of categorisation, according to uk law. if it meets the threshold, we get it removed. so, they have to be sexualised images for us to be able to do that. so if you have shared a naked image of yourself, then that would meet the threshold and we would meet the threshold and we would have not removed if you are under 18. we have to ensure, at the moment we have to verify your age, but obviously it is the start of something really important. we are working very hard to make...

It soews more division. manu raju is live outside capitol hill. they were unanimous in doing so but you have a hand full of senate democrats opposed to eliminating the filibuster that would have been the way to get this passed. you could have done it with a simple majority if you get rid of the filibuster but thats not going to happen. >> no, its not. there is really no path forward to getting this bill into law. the republicans are unanimous against it and democrats are not on the same page abo...

The people act. it will fail. now we have this op ed piece tonight by senator sinema who as i said, is echoing exactly the way minimum 90% of the senate thought about the 60-vote threshold 20 years ago. as far as i can tell, nothing but greeting card stuff today. >> yeah. that was a disappointing op ed piece. the stakes, i think, we just saw laid out from georgia. this cannot stand in georgia. the only way it can be superseded is with the federal law in the same way that during the civil rights ...

Application requests, having to have an i.d.. with the counting process that is required. who will get to count the ballots. how it is counted, and what are the results? so, the election boards are critical through that process and so you will see that this could be a long sided decision-making process and implementation of the election laws. >> helen butler and nsé ufot, thank you both very much for starting off our discussion tonight. >> thank you. joining us now is a columnist from the daily...
