Every time congress has the chance to push us to the left they are always impotent and shrug their shoulders.
Every time congress has the chance to push us further to the right it happens no questions asked, a perfect amount of corrupt Democrats always break ranks, and the other democrats never try to get them removed or punish them for sabotaging the party.
The Duopoly works together to keep power out of the hands of workers.
Exactly this. It’s so infuriating.
Liberals reading this: “Why do you hate Democrats so much?! Must be a Republican!!!”
as a non citizen, we ARE allowed to vote for some stuff, e.g. mayor, so this article is also badly written.
Correction: 216 Republicans and 4 Democrats
Correction: 220 Traitors. The Democratic establishment always have a few Manchins, Menendezs or Sinemas they can lay the blame on for supporting the Republican policy platform. Question: should they be kicked out of the party or not? Do the Democrats actually stand for anything or are they ok with collaborators in their midst?
Just replace the Republicans with more Democrats and guess what? Oh, wow, no more bills like this ever pass again.

Not sure how I feel about those not voting. Perhaps, spineless.
The more Republicans not voting, the better, imo.
lemmy.world has so many people defending those democrats, saying how evil and inhernantly propganda it is to [checks notes] Document them doing their job.
Hey listen, the Republicans wrote the bill and overwhelmingly supported it. All the Democrats did was provide the required number of votes to actually pass the bill. I mean they practically did nothing wrong, right? lmao
Actually, it would have passed if every Democrat voted Nay, by 3 votes.
216 R voted Yea and 208 of 213 dems voted Nay
Simple majorities can’t pass legislation, according to every dem that has ever had to excuse their failure of a party, so how did this one pass?
In the Senate simple majorities cannot.
This vote was in the house.
SMH.
Really? I’m pretty sure this is magically going to pass the Senate too. Like nearly everything else republicans have put forward. What’s the next excuse then? What’s the excuse when they simply stop caring about decorum.
Really?
…
You want me to clarify a second time that there is no filibuster in the House of Representatives?
You want to explain why the unconstitutional practice of a filibuster stops dems but does not stop republicans?
It’s funny how we’re being downvoted now. I thought .world hates when .ml “brigades” but I guess its okay to do it when you call out the Nazi enablers. 🤷
.ml is the only place they actually get downvoted, which is sad because it’s filled with annoying ‘Dengists’.
“Look they brought in a gun, and I gave them the ammo to fire it. Am I really that bad?”
Nobody is defending these 4, we’re defending the DNC as a whole. This problem exists because of Republicans.
No the problem exists because the dnc abandons their base as much as they can.
Its not that their messaging sucks its that their policy sucks and it shows and the left wing doesn’t put up with it.
Its why the Democrats can ever maintain a majority because they like to fuck over the people who vote for them on a regular basis.
Oh ok lol
I guess 1.878% is exactly the same as 98.1% in terms of literally trying to harm women and the nation. My apologies for trying to convince you to remove the actual cause of this serious issue.
you should spend you efforts telling the dnc to adopt working class policies or fuck off. it’ll be a better use of your time. many of us are done wasting our time screaming into a void. and are happy letting the nation get what is so rightly deserves.
You know that’s the crazy thing about it all. DNC policy is to reverse Citizens United, pass Public Option Healthcare, Regulate Corporations, and Tax the Rich.
They’re the dudes. We don’t have to make them the dudes, we just need to give them large majorities and watch it all happen.
😂 the fact you think thats them after biden, harris, and the majority of congressional mwmbers ran on exactly not doing those things is hilarious.
I’m sorry that you disagree with reality to this extent.

There’s nothing liberal about Henry Cuellar.

Anyone who votes for this. Anyone who votes for Trump and Republicans in congress. And that number is growing more than just the Republicans in office.
Lol what are you doing here?
