Saturday on MSNBC’s PoliticsNation, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told race-hustling host Al Sharpton that Democrats are determined to get “big, bold change” “no matter what.”
“Well, Rev, we have one goal: big, bold change in America,” Schumer said. “We would like the Republicans to join us in some of those things at least, and maybe they will. But we are going to get that change no matter what….
“There is such a demand, three huge issues we have to do: climate — huge issue facing the country, racial and economic inequality, which has gotten worse, not better, which demands change and justice in a big, bold way, and improving our democracy,” Schumer continued. “Making D.C. a state, automatic voter registration, getting rid of Citizens United, all the things embodied in H.R. 1, which the House passed and McConnell would block up, but we’re going to fight to pass it in the Senate. That’s why we’ve made it S 1. So, climate, racial inequality, economic inequality, and democracy, improving our democracy, letting people vote much more easily, dealing with D.C. and Puerto Rican statehood, dealing with bad money that flows in. The John Lewis Act, undoing the horrible decisions the court made, which defanged the Voting Rights Act, and that’s why Republicans have gotten away with taking people’s right away to vote for the last four years.”
Republicans have taken away no one’s right to vote. On the contrary, Democrats have turned the voting process into a massive fraud that has subverted, not “improved” democracy. In addition, D.C. and Puerto Rico statehood are not “issues” — certainly not issues Americans care about. Democrats are prioritizing their statehood in order to secure control of the Senate forever. As for racial and economic inequality, Donald Trump had done more to eradicate that than any President in history; the Democrats can’t have blacks achieving equality or they will lose their voter base. And the big-government boondoggle known as “climate change” is a critical part of the Democrats’ “Great Reset” which will set America on the path to socialist ruin.
We’re headed for big, bold change, all right.
