    Even if every Democrat in the house that day voted Nay it still would have passed by 3 votes

      Why would anyone vote for this that isnt a bigot? The fact any did is vomit inducing. Its authoritarian trash through and through.

        The fact that any did is vomit inducing, although I’ve never personally vomited out of stress, but this bill exists because of Republicans. It passed the vote because of Republicans. This is a Republican bill and we need to make sure people don’t try to spin this as some DNC failure when electing more DNC is the exact solution to this problem.

          Idk, the DNC’s lessons from this seemed to be “move more rightward”

          Thats why AOC is rolling with an independent right now.

          Unless she gets real power in the party I dont care for them anymore. They dont want to harbor progressives.

            The current DNC are more left than they’ve ever been, which has been more true every election.

              Thats not even remotely true. The powers that be are all neoliberal. Otherwise AOC would be on the road with establishment Democrats and Bernie Sanders wouldn’t be Independent.

                  I say they support their donors. Not really human rights. Otherwise we wouldnt have 80% of them spouting Israeli bullshit.

                    The two parties are both supporting Israel in the conflict, but only one of them supports a single state solution.
