      Hey listen, the Republicans wrote the bill and overwhelmingly supported it. All the Democrats did was provide the required number of votes to actually pass the bill. I mean they practically did nothing wrong, right? lmao

        Actually, it would have passed if every Democrat voted Nay, by 3 votes.

        216 R voted Yea and 208 of 213 dems voted Nay

          Simple majorities can’t pass legislation, according to every dem that has ever had to excuse their failure of a party, so how did this one pass?

              Really? I’m pretty sure this is magically going to pass the Senate too. Like nearly everything else republicans have put forward. What’s the next excuse then? What’s the excuse when they simply stop caring about decorum.

                Really?

                You want me to clarify a second time that there is no filibuster in the House of Representatives?

        It’s funny how we’re being downvoted now. I thought .world hates when .ml “brigades” but I guess its okay to do it when you call out the Nazi enablers. 🤷

          .ml is the only place they actually get downvoted, which is sad because it’s filled with annoying ‘Dengists’.

      Nobody is defending these 4, we’re defending the DNC as a whole. This problem exists because of Republicans.

        No the problem exists because the dnc abandons their base as much as they can.

        Its not that their messaging sucks its that their policy sucks and it shows and the left wing doesn’t put up with it.

        Its why the Democrats can ever maintain a majority because they like to fuck over the people who vote for them on a regular basis.

          Oh ok lol

          I guess 1.878% is exactly the same as 98.1% in terms of literally trying to harm women and the nation. My apologies for trying to convince you to remove the actual cause of this serious issue.

            you should spend you efforts telling the dnc to adopt working class policies or fuck off. it’ll be a better use of your time. many of us are done wasting our time screaming into a void. and are happy letting the nation get what is so rightly deserves.

              You know that’s the crazy thing about it all. DNC policy is to reverse Citizens United, pass Public Option Healthcare, Regulate Corporations, and Tax the Rich.

              They’re the dudes. We don’t have to make them the dudes, we just need to give them large majorities and watch it all happen.

                😂 the fact you think thats them after biden, harris, and the majority of congressional members ran on exactly not doing those things is hilarious.

                    Okay show me biden and harris campaign promises for single payer/public option. Or that the majority of Democrats for congressional office run on it as their platform. Documented evidence. Not your feel good assumptions.

                    And no harris’ primary run where she put it on her platform for all of 2 seconds doesnt count.

                    Then explain why the democratic stronghold states dont have it with their super majority of Democratic representatives.

                    Then explain why Massachusetts had to have a grass roots ballot initiative to pass a 1% tax increase on those making over million / year.

                    Im not the one delusional about reality here. But go on im waiting, happy to be proven wrong.
