If more votes were needed to pass it, more Democrats have joined. They are on a rotating controlled opposition agenda.
It is genuinely infuriating to see this bullshit happen once again like fucking clockwork
The French had a unique way of dealing with politicians like this...
*Spain is. Everyone else is all aboard it seems. They may whine and complain but they're all on team imperialism. As far as I can tell European leaders are enablers just like American democratic leaders are.
It's almost as if they're in cahoots!
It’s always the same group of “Democrats” who vote with the GOP. There are plenty of solid blue-state democrats that are consistent and we need to stop lumping the ones who consistently vote correctly with the ones who keep crossing the aisle. What we should be focused on is promoting primary challengers to the “Democrats” who consistently vote with the GOP on these issues and ridicule stupid voters who keep going along with the same old same old.
This is why people say "both sides"
GOP is the sword of the wealthy elite. Dems are the shield. Just feigning opposition.
