    It’s not just those 2, it’s any of the Rotating Villains. Here’s a comment i made about Dem senators when they voted against the War Powers resolution ICE funding votes after the public executions in January https://lemmy.world/comment/22588355

    To summarize, it’s a failure on leadership, and the whip if any Democrats break ranks, then also those Democrats. Here’s the list from that vote:

    The Senate Democratic leader is Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) The Senate Democratic Whip is Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL)

    The Eight Senate Democrats/Independents who voted in favor were: Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL) Sen. Angus King (I-ME) Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA)

    The House did not have enough votes to defeat it, and all voted against but here are those leaders too. The House Democratic leader is Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) The House Democratic Minority Whip is Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA) "

    May their phone lines know no peace, as ours hadn’t in the lead up to this election.
