Aren't you allowed to just vote present? Or not vote at all? I probably wouldn't have even participated in such a stupid, performative effort.

Yep, two Dems voted present. How your constituency plays to this performative effort is the politics.

I think it's more how your donors play to this performative bs, Jeffries is in Brooklyn and most of his district just elected a socialist for mayor.
