7 Democrats voted for the bill. 200 didn't.
How many of those 200 are calling for those 7 to be removed from office?
Democrats always break ranks and magically vote with republicans any time it matters. I’ve seen it my entire life and I’m getting pretty old. They’re literally owned by the same oligarchs and Israel
Rotating Villains, every time..
Maybe the party whip should do his job once in a while
That's how democrats roll, hand over just enough votes to allow a bill to pass and the rest can claim they apposed it. And when they get back into power they will do nothing to roll back any of the stuff the previous administration enacted.
First year Biden was the exact opposite of 4th year Biden. Many of the things he preformativly rolled back year 1 he reimplemented shortly afterwards.
Gonna need proof of that one.
They always manage to arrange for this to happen. It's a strategy. You have to look a bit like an opposition so people will still donate and support you, but you actually want things to go the same way the Republicans do. So you make sure there are always just enough dissenters to defeat you in the vote, while the rest of you get to pose as frustrated people of principle.
You think these people are a lot more competent than I do.
And those 7 have been ejected from that party, right?
They're all traitors to the people.
This is why every moderate is a dipshit.
"Immigration crackdown": filling for-profit prisons and going all in on modern slavery. And, like I've said before, the empire's moves are bi-partisan, and what you see as differing stances come from disagreements between groups of organized capital that bribe all of these politicians but they're mostly small (the MIC wants war wherever it can be done [and selling war in the Middle East or Asia is easier than in Europe, although now we're going there...] so they can sell their stock but the Gulf countries bribe Trump against it so they can have stability in the region/more power in the region, for example, but every capitalist in the country makes money from a more desperate or even enslaved workforce) and overall the internal moves are very predictable and should break the illusion of the narratives for anyone who's not too attached to the "good cop" or "bad cop".
PS: Calling yourself God is, at least, a faux pas. 😕
You get a primary! And you get a primary!
Calling it a "crackdown" helps to validate the bullshit narrative of conservatives - it implies there are crimes happening that require this, when the fact is a lot of this has involved kidnapping people going through the process properly and attacking/murdering people that are protesting peacefully.
