Hes going to arrest people who refuse to be un-American. People who believe in democracy.

He is against people who believe in a fairer and more just America.

Democrats and voting rights groups have condemned provisions in the bill saying they will disproportionately disfranchise voters of colour.

This is a now-or-never for our democracy. We are holding the line in Texas, Democratic state representative Trey Martinez Fischer said. Weve left our jobs, weve left our families, weve left our homes. Because there is nothing more important than voting rights in America.

President Joe Biden is expected to hold a major address on voting rights on Tuesday as lawmakers continue to put pressure on the government to take action at a federal level.

Good on the Texas Democrats. Both for protecting democracy and for fighting against GQP's tactics of leaving Dems out of negotiations.

They left Texas and are staying in Washington to prevent the passage of a very nasty bill.

Okay. I had to go to the other topic to get context without clicking on the article. I'm surprised they couldn't just pass it without them.

The main reason I'm okay with Democrats doing it here is because they're literally fighting for democracy in Texas. It's not simply the Republicans making just another bad law -- They're suppressing people's right to vote.

Yeah i dont mean to say they are identical situations and i am way way more sympathetic to the texan dems, to the point where id probably call it begrudging support

But i cant say i like it. Theyre fighting for democracy by undermining it. I wish there were a better way.

how is using a legislative rule that was created and agreed upon by democracy to prevent a gerrymandered and unrepresentative legislature from permanently entrenching themselves "undermining democracy"

When Cruz fled Washington DC in 2013 over the ACA and prompted a federal government shutdown regarding the debt ceiling, Texas leadership welcomed him with open arms.

2021, Texas democrats do similar and now the leadership wants them arrested lmao.

They are leaving the state which denies the republicans a quorum meaning they're not allowed to vote on a bill. Think of it kind of like a filibuster that requires you to go to another state.
