      b-boy bouiebaisse Retweeted Damon Linker

      The big flaw in this argument is that it takes practically world historical conditions — a once-in-a-century pandemic and historically unpopular president — to produce an electoral majority that is *just large enough* to even have a chance a these reforms.https://twitter.com/DamonLinker/status/1321624938915205122 …

      The tweet you're responding to contains my current view: If Dems can win enough power to enact these kinds of reforms using the normal rules, that speaks against the need for changing them. Dems had a 60-vote Senate majority just a decade ago. Let's see the results next week. 1/x

      Right. You can play this game with literally any reform. “If it was necessary to pass a Voting Rights Act then you wouldn’t have been able to pass it, you can, therefore it’s not necessary.” It’s dorm room nonsense.https://twitter.com/AdamSerwer/status/1321832406677159939 …

      Look the fact that the Republicans had the power to pass the 15th Amendment just proves a constitutional amendment to protect the right to vote against racial discrimination wasn’t needed in 1870s America. This is a clever argument, to me
