Their votes didn’t help. The nominees would have been confirmed no matter how Dems voted. Republicans don’t need us, they don’t have to reach across the aisle because they’re a vote or two short. They can take turns voting “no” and looking good— Murkowski and Collins do this all the time.
Whoa! Lemme paraphrase; 'Trump doesn't need my support for him so my support for him doesn't count'
Sometimes Dems in red states have to throw a bone to their constituents. Look, I would love explanation for any “yes” votes from Dems. Justify that shit, tell me why. Explain the game and the goal here. I can handle it. But. Yes, and. However. I don’t blame Dems for what are obvious GOP failings.
Ok. Well that's something you have to come to grips with. I'm from Missouri and despise the GOP to the core. But I'm not a fool to believe that the Democrats have a halo over their head. That's why government is failing us. Elected worry about elections and party instead of morals and their country.
I don’t think Dems have a halo over their heads either. That’s a strawman. I simply understand the limits of minority power, I acknowledge it’s we the voters who put Dems in the minority, and I don’t blame Dems for obvious Republican failings. Government is failing us because of Republicans.
Sure, it’s easier and more satisfying to criticize Dems because you (rhetoric “you”) know they ARE worried about the country. You know this is agony for them. You know they care. Just like you know the GOP doesn’t give a shit so it’s no use yelling at them. (Again, rhetoric “you.”)
Dems haven’t cornered the market on morals but come ON. I’m 100% confident that we would not be such a complete human rights disaster if Harris were president.
Ugh. Ok. Agree to disagree. I am a proud Democrat and union member. That being said, I have no problem assigning blame on anyone. No excuses. That's where I stand. I understand your stance as well, but I'm just explaining mine. So, agree to disagree. Thank you for your comments tho. 🙏
Enjoy your weekend.
You as well! And may the orange man not make it much longer. 🤣🥳🤞
