Since Kamala Harris is out there railing against a non-minority “minority” of Senators who are threatening to destroy democracy, it makes sense that her boss would be doing the exact same thing.
Here’s President Joe Biden today:
I'll be clear: to protect our democracy, I support changing the Senate rules to prevent a minority of senators from blocking action on voting rights.

You know, it’s never too late to enroll in remedial math and civics, Joe. Maybe you and Kamala can get a group rate.

"Minority of Senators" = 50%. If you want to change rules so your 50% has the upper hand then that's not Democracy. You can't silence half the country and force your policies on them.

Will any journalist stand up to Biden and explain 50% and more is not a minority, or nah?
