To wave off their active participation and material support as “lack of resistance” makes it clear you’re either pushing an agenda, or are simply gullible.

I've heard about the cabinet confirmations. What else is there?

Thanks. That's bad to be clear, but 4 out of 213 doesn't seem worthy of all the displeasure you've stated.

There’s always just enough Democrats.

This is a dangerously strong and broad sentiment to present as a hard rule. This is how propaganda is created.

Although in the example you gave those four did literally give the bill exactly enough votes to pass, so... uhoh

I can give as many more examples as you would like. This isn’t an isolated incident. This is business as usual.
