Democrats have only hardened their position as the government shutdown enters its 23rd day, leaving Republican majorities in Congress with few answers — and many criticisms.
For the 12th time, Senate Democrats blocked the Republican Party’s government funding legislation this week without a single senator switching his or her vote.
Just three Democratic caucus members voted for the bill: John Fetterman, D-Pa.; Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev.; and Angus King, I-Maine. That means Republicans are still five votes short of the 60-vote threshold to ensure passage of the bill, just as they have been since before the government shut down 23 days ago.
Democratic voters had pressured their party to take a more confrontational posture toward Trump in the shutdown battle. The new stance may be paying off with the party’s base.
Can we stop being childish and more practical. Perfection doesn’t exist,
And then when Dems get into power again, let them enable fascism all over again? They had 4 years to curb stomp fascism but they didn’t.
What’s practical is to primary progressives. “Perfection is the enemy of good” is a thought terminating cliché to accept breadcrumbs. Outside of US, it’s actually a common mindset among conservatives they tell to electorates to accept the status quo.
You are a person who doesn’t know who joe manchin is.
But yes, Dems are inadequate. That’s why we need people mobilizing in every local for further left candidates. But that doesn’t mean don’t vote for dems… They’re still better than repubs
