Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who voiced support for the measure, were absent for the vote. It needed a simple majority to pass.
Rotating. Villains. And the "same, logical" voices want to block/report our voices here because we vote/advocate third parties.
-
Because how voting currently works in the US no third party candidate would/has get close to winning.
-
Worse, third-party candidates are actively counterproductive. Here is the classic short video explaining how first-past-the-post voting systems inevitably lead to a two-party state.
-
A rep from a Alaska introduced a bill that would attempt to make ranked choice voting illegal 🫠 just open tyranny
-
Why, is it illegal for a majority of people to vote third party or is it just because you think voting for the Dems to lose yet another election is the winning strategy?
-
-
I swear, most democrats are plants put there to 'go rogue' whenever there's a slight chance of something beneficial to the working class passing.
-
I don't know if most of them are plants, but enough of them are. I noticed that during Obama's terms. Nothing ever got done because there was always some D stopping shit. There were some usual suspects, probably the lowest bidders who didn't plan on staying in office anyway.
-
I first read this as plants, of the green leafy variety. Somehow I also think that is apropos of how little the Democratic caucus does. Congressional shrubs, who just sit there looking pretty.

-
How were they absent for the vote? They better have a good reason.
-
no we dislike you because you helped elect trump and that was clearly your intent.
-
-
Buy the ticket, take the ride!
-
Wish HST was here for the commentary.
-
Pretty sure he would look at today's world and go, "I made the right choice"
-
-
-
Useless.
-
Even if it passed, that's not going to stop Trump from doing what he wants.
-
He has veto power even if it had passed 51-49
-
-
And down we go.
-
Running out of excuses to use when this is over...
-
Ehh, good. The more Americans are bailed out, the less they suffer the consequences of their actions.
May the complacency of the left and the idiocy of the right reap their fullest rewards.
-
the complacency of the left
I have to assume you're using "left" in that peculiar American sense in which it means "center right". The actual left are not complacent, but they're unrepresented.
-
when i start talking politics with people, i regularly have to preface the conversation with "i am an extreme outlier that is very far left" because i get very weird looks for saying things like, "all people should be able to eat."
its a weird state of being trying to defend something kind.
-
Yes, he's referring to neo-liberals.
Neo-liberals always align with conservatives when their wealth is threatened.
-
The actual left is very much also complacent. Mango man's goons just robbed an innocent family (of citizens, though I shouldn't need to specify that) blind and where's the action? Where's the outrage? Where are the goddamn strikes?
-
-
i cast itchy lower back upon you
-
Agreed. I welcome all the suffering that is about to befall consumerists.
They only have themselves to blame, and their incessant greed.
