    It passed the house a few days ago, from my understanding it is less likely to pass the Senate

        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.

                  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.

      Why wouldn’t it? GOP are 53 seats in the senate, this is their bill with unanimous support in the house.

            I wonder what the excuse will be for not filibustering this time. I wonder how quickly democrats will cave. I wonder how many will.

            What I don’t wonder is what the talking point will be to defend the most unsurprising betrayal of principles in history. It’s gonna be the same as in this thread. “Ignore the turncoats, look at how many republicans they voted with! Vote blue no matter what we do.”
