In dueling remarks, Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell each accused the other’s party of trying to weaponize voting laws to expand its political power

to shift its focus to a voting-rights-only bill named for the late Rep. John Lewis that has a slightly higher chance of winning GOP support.

Some election administrators who support the ethos of the bill have also quietly grumbled about its sweeping mandates, arguing that. A manager’s amendment put forward by Sen. Amy Klobuchar , the chair of the Rules Committee, was introduced to mollify some of those concerns, pushing back some deadlines and broadly granting more leeway to smaller counties.

The bill would also alter the Federal Election Commission, the nation’s chief campaign finance watchdog that is routinely criticized by good government groups as functionally toothless. Among its provisions is the addition of a public financing option that remains controversial among some Democrats on the Hill.

Manchin has called for Democrats to find common ground on voting rights legislation, repeatedly calling for bipartisan negotiations with Republicansnamed for Lewis, but many Democrats believe that his ask is an impossible ask.

One side is telling the truth. Maybe you could report that you useless hacks?

Your job is to report on which one is right. Stop doing this bullshit fight commentary.

How does this 'both siding' not eat into your revenue ? Have you looked at the numbers?

Only one side is trying to STOP people from voting.

Wonder how Politico would have covered the Lincoln/Douglas debates: both Lincoln and Douglas made vigorous arguments for their equally valid positions on slavery.

Appalling framing

So you’re looking to make money by shorting Democracy? That is the only logical explanation because you can’t possibly believe your own horse shit post, right?

This is pathetic framing. One party is trying to destroy democracy and the other is attempting to engage in policies which will help our future. Do better. playbookdc POLITICOMag

Imagine reading Politico

Holy fuck. Y'all just keep on getting worse.

Fucking classic politico... lets both sides gop trying to stop people from voting. You should be ashamed

As I’m watching the hearing about the 1/6/2021 insurrection on the Capital this is where I’m having a problem. The “Capital is under attack” and the Acting Former Secretary of Defense & Former Acting DOJ never talks to the President? Not even close to being the truth!

And is either right politico?

You suck at reporting

Lovely “both sides” tweet, you goddamn idiots

Stop with both-sidsing democracy itself. There’s only one side of democracy.

One of these 'sides' is not like the other and you're legitimizing the fascist GQPTraitorsToDemocracy.

DougJBalloon Politico articles are written for people who work at Politico

Both sides issue. Okay politico

The ultimate “both sides” quote.

One is suppressing one is expanding…and you print both sides bullshite

Except one is lying & one isnt. Take your both sides garbage & shove it.

Politico, you really suck. One side is trying to make it harder to vote. Voting is a constitutional right. Cut the both sides bullshit!

Last straw I’m out You guys are fn trash and no better than the Insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol Incapable of facing actual facts

Except one side is lying and the other is telling the truth. Why isn’t your article about the lying liars in the GOP and how they lie about everything?

You people will be the death knell for democracy. You don’t deserve constitutional protection.

This isn't journalism.

You suck

So itsbothsides?

Yea but any reporter, of which there must be none at , would investigate and say only one party is weaponizing voting.

Folks are waiting Dudes.

'...And when we looked at the facts,' Oh, hell, it's Politico, who am I kidding? They don't look at facts, because they're apparently so unknowable...

Lazy 'reporting'

Jesus Fucking Christ what is this article? Delete your account, you fucking hacks.

Now do Hitler and Churchill.

You do understand that one party is working hard to restrict voting and the other is trying to expand voting access, right? Right? So Schumer's accusations are accurate; McConnell's are false. SAY THAT!

sadly Politico is too stupid to deduce which party is ACTUALLY doing that and report it as a fact to readers. Politico POLITICO_Steve MarcACaputo Scriveners Stenography BothSides

Dicks.

And one was speaking truth and the other was a deranged turtle.

Wtf is wrong with this rag? Is the stupidity intentional? Good grief. The worst.

You craven farks can’t even see what you’re doing

Reckless coverage. Just abysmal. Quit your job. Go west. Do anything but what you're doing because what you're doing is HURTING AMERICA WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THIS YOU 'BOTH SIDES' MORON

Politico in 1941: 'In dueling remarks, FDR and the Prime Minister of Japan accuse each other of being dictators bent on world domination'

Trying to 'both sides' democracy again? You people are part of the problem, NOT part of the solution. And you're certainly not impartial.

Verdict?

bOtH sIDeS!!!

As I always say, politicians should win your vote, not deciding who votes and who won’t. Corruption as it’s best

Oh look, it's Politishit playing the 'both sides' card again. And again. And again.

Mitch McConnell...try something different, something new...try working with your colleagues across the aisle, President Biden and his Administration. 🇺🇸America🇺🇸 deserves better from you and the GOP...please!!!

That’s not it

Stop with the both sides. Republicans are anti democracy

If Manchin and Sinema would act like Democrats, they could end the filibuster and put and end to this horse shit!!!

Politico continues to be absolute TRASH Amazing how you can 'bothsides' this issue when it's the GOP who are trying to pass hundreds of voter suppression laws! Not the Democrats. Gosh you are truly the worst of the so-called mainstream outlets.

On journalism: 'If someone says it's raining, and another person says it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the fucking window and find out which is true.' -Sally Claire

Democrats want to guarantee black people can vote. Republicans don't. BOTH SIDES HEYOOOO!!!

BOTH SIDES Y'ALL

Politico becoming breitbart

Both siding this is irresponsible and sums up Político very well.

Are you guys fucking serious?

This headline is not reporting.

Both-sidesing for fascists, what a life choice. 🖕

Schumer is right. McConnell is lying. Which you shld be familiar with right now since it's very Politico.

Another great scoop by Politico, a.k.a. Daily Stormer on the Potomac

Politico shutting down would be a net positive to the world starting w/the benefits of not using up energy to run your servers posting nonsensical tripe.

Only one was right, but true to form, Politico 'both sides' the hell out of outrageousness. Do you ever tire of being the huge sucking sound where journalism should be?🤔

Let's see. 1 party is trying to make it as hard as possible to vote. And the other party wants to make it easier for people to vote.

I hear banjos, a la 'Deliverance'.

This is not neutral.

I mean one party is (the Republicans by making it really hard to vote) one party isn't (the democrats, as they just want to ALLOW PPL TO VOTE) lol. What a joke. The higher up repubs have truly lost their mind

Politico really trying to sound like bad satire out here

I once thought the press was in support of democracy. I was wrong. Politico both siding fascism built on lies.

If you consider allowing every American citizen over the age of 18 to have the right to vote a calculated political party move, your political party is a dying party desperately clinging to power through cheating: voter suppression, throwing out legitimate votes, gerrymandering.

Politico both siding voter suppression and criminalizing voting. Can't make that *hit up. These are JOURNALISTS? More like propagandists.

Your daily reminder Politico is 🗑.

Y'all are going to 'both sides' us to a dictatorship.

Y'all really both sides-ing this, huh?

Both siding this is not making politico unbiased media. It makes it stupid😀

marianne_levine Any chance you could stop this both sides ... and help preserve Democracy? Take some journalism classes, learn about truth sandwich, learn to distinguish bad faith and hypocrisy from attempts to fix the problem.... Perhaps then you might realize how bad you are

The uniparty has an antitrust problem

Voting was weaponized a long time ago when they stopped women and the poor from voting.

How ironic. Dems and Rinos need to be removed ASAP. This partisan BS is destroying the country.

Only difference is that Democrats are the sole authors of voting rights suppression and power grab centralization. The big lie is from the Democrats, plain and simple.

Don’t “both sides” this!

one said making it harder to vote is dangerous. The other said more people voting is dangerous. I'll let you decide which ones on the side of democracy
