Democratic strategist Max Burns wants to know why “voting rights” activists humiliated President Joe Biden by boycotting his Georgia speech. But those activists recognize just how weak and inconsequential the president is. The only person embarrassing Biden is himself.

Writing for NBC News, Burns calls the “Republican Party’s war on voting rights” the “single most important policy challenge” Democrats face. After all, if you can’t have 24-hour drive-thru voting in Texas and Georgia, democracy is basically dead. Or something. But Burns decries that activists and their voting rights organizations chose to boycott Biden’s speech.
