Berlin: Put voting rights legislation in Build Back Better

In this piece he admits the following:

"Though Democrats are well aware of Republican efforts at one-party domination, they don’t seem to have the will or the courage to do anything about it."

His solution, a good one, is to put federal voting rights legislation in Build Back Better. Of course it would receive a challenge from the Parliamentarian, so that would require Biden and Kamala to override their 'advice,' something they've been reluctant to do so far for no good reason. They certainly aren't going to push to end the filibuster, or even to carve out an exception to it. So I guess so much for that idea too if they don't muster "the will or courage" to save democracy, which appears to be the case.
