This comes after leadership dismissed substantive criticisms during markup, including explicit warnings from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez about the bill’s potential for abuse.
Then why the fuck did you vote for it?
- I guess the first amendment just isn't that important to her. Or maybe she was threatened with violence.

Update: Welp, late today this passed the House overwhelmingly, 409-2. The only two nay vote were from Republicans Thomas Massie and Eric Burlison.
- 409-2?! And the only nay votes were republicans?! What the actual fuck?!
  
  And this is why I'm not surprised at all the US is in the situation it is in right now. We have two viable political parties: one is a pack of gremlins doing their best to destroy anything good, and a party of "the adults in the room" that don't have the juice, the wherewithal, or the drive to do anything about it. Even if you're one to believe that the Democrats are the "good guys", they're the proverbial good men who do nothing that let evil thrive. Rational or not (not), people have been pushed into making more and more extreme choices in a collective attempt to make the powers that be listen to them. Now we all have to pay for it.
- So AOC voted for this?
  
  I wonder why
  
  And Ilhan Omar? Even the “radical” ones fall in line, huh
  
  Yes, see under Ocasio-Cortez in the 'yea's

Just when I think that the Dems might stop being fucking stupid, they capitulate to the fascists
- Democrats would rather lose to fascists than win as the people's champions.
  There's no bribe money in the latter.
- They're not stupid at all. They're all playing us like the fools that we are.
