I am just destroyed by this. I genuinely had a little faith in humanity that people wouldn't fall for this bullshit but I guess I sorely was mistaken.
Laitmer is a conservative, racist piece of shit who is going to take over Manchin's job of fucking things up for progressives. Fucking hell this sucks.
To top it off, Israel just successfully dropped a political nuke on a critic and will likely have everyone running scared in the future.
It matters though. The weight of a single Rep in the House is far less than a US Senator. It sucks, of course, but very relevant. He can't be a Manchin.
You can abuse your position as a holdout and potentially fuck everything up in either chamber. Bills require passage in both chambers... but I'm sure you knew that.
I just hope there are enough gains in the house to make his ass irrelevant.
