The list of votes is here
This is far from an appearance issue. 18 Republicans also opposed the budget. If every Democrat had joined the 18 Republicans in saying no, this budget would not have been approved. Every politician -- Democrat or not -- who approved this budget needs to be voted out, no questions (if we get the chance). Primary the Democrats who voted "Yea".
"There's always money for bombs" but $900 Billion is absurd; and Democrats are screwing everyone over by encouraging this war. We do not want MAGA to have Wartime Powers. We do not want JD Vance, Stephen Miller, and Mike Johnson to have Wartime Powers.
Thank you for linking this, as this is indeed enraging but my oh my this is data gore if I have ever seen it...
Am I looking at a spreadsheet with the front panel unscrewed leaving all the wires hanging out or something?
Good Lord, what a day to have eyes.
Wow, that is one of the worst diagrams I've seen in quite a while.
I move my mechanized infantry from hex 3042 to hex 4035 for 6VP
Is this Minesweeper?
Similar number of red flags on the map anyway
This is usually by design to protect risky seats and give the impression that they were opposed for political points. In essence those 18 Republicans are only enabled to vote no because they know Dems are supporting this passing. If more Dems voted no, less Republicans would have.
Bluth: there's always money to bomb Afghanistan, Michael
No, we’re not allowed to criticize Democrats on Lemmy. It automatically makes you Russian MAGA.
