    First and foremost, he voted against it. You have no proof that he only did so because he coordinated with others to do so.

    Lol, this your first time following national politics on a controversial issue? Or are you naive enough to think that a POLITICIAN won’t play POLITICS? You’re right that I have no proof, but the Democratic party has long lost the benefit of the doubt in my mind. I still vote for them because there’s no other option, but I’m not going to pretend like their shit doesn’t stink.

    You guys will stop at nothing to continue to ensure Republicans destroy this country.

    Classic response for pointing out how CONVENIENT the expected democratic belly roll ends up being. Also, way to completely disregard the actual point while you’re busy defending the shit moves the Dems make

    must be one big fucking coincidence that all the people who caved aren’t up for re-election this next round, huh?

    Only Durbin and Shaheen have said they’re retiring at the end of their current term. That’s only 2 out of the 8 Democrats that voted fort he stopgap.

    Most, but not all, previously held state-level office — including four former governors. Most, but not all, come from presidential swing states. Two have announced they are retiring from the Senate after their current terms end, and two are senior members of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

    None are up for reelection in 2026.

    But yeah, the person who wants the democratic party to fight for the people instead of rolling over is totally wanting the republicans to win.

    Go back to the circus 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
