It would have been better to tie up Senate business and make it a topic of insider conversation until it filtered out to the general public.

People facing barriers to voting need to see high-profile Democrats send _expensive_ signals that they care about this stuff. It’s OK to lose a vote when seeing you try it unites your coalition and energizes activists. The right understands this.

I suppose there’s no reason they can’t try again. Biden is speaking in public about “democracy”, so maybe it is going to happen.
