It’s time for the Biden administration to serve their constituents more than an empty plate of unmet promises, AntheaButler writes.
About two dozen, mostly African American pastors engaged in a one-week hunger strike for voting rights that ended on Jan. 17, Martin Luther King Jr. Day.The day after Senate Republicans, assisted by two Democrats, voted against changing filibuster rules to allow the passage of a new voting rights bill, radio host and civil rights activist Joe Madisonthe hunger strike he’d been on for an incredible 74 days. On Nov.
Imagine how it must have felt for these protesters to hear White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who appeared on ABC’s"The View" on Friday tothe failure of the voting rights bill in the Senate, say, “My advice to everyone out there who's frustrated, sad, angry, pissed off, feel those emotions: Go to a kickboxing class, have a margarita, do whatever you need to do this weekend, and then wake up on Monday morning, we gotta keep fighting.
Biden faces declining poll numbers and Black voters on the ground losing hope about voting rights. It will be up to organizers to bring the Democratic Party to its senses. But how can they do this? While I appreciate the efforts of those who waged hunger strikes, desperate times call for even more. Maybe John Lewis, instead of getting his skull cracked by Alabama troopers should have just had a margarita.
