Biden’s much-heralded on voting rights last Wednesday laid out relatively modest action items: “Perhaps the most important thing we have to do,” he said, is “forge a coalition of Americans of every background and political party -- the advocates, the students, the faith leaders, the labor leaders, the business executives -- and raise the urgency of this moment.”
Yes, he mentioned strong congressional measures that would strengthen voting rights -- but not the Senate’s filibuster rules, which right now have stopped all voting rights legislation cold.
Critics wanted more: “We’d like for him to fight for voting rights as hard as they’ve been fighting for infrastructure,”
