You know that the people we voted for last week haven’t been sworn in yet, right?
Duh. Literally nobody in these comments nor the article (that you clearly didn’t read) is confused about that.
Well OP seems to be based on the sensationalized title.
Nope. That’s not what they’re saying at all.
Seems like its pretty necessary since we have people like you reflexively screeching at critique of the democrats.
Also, and I don’t know if you know this, but editorialised headlines typically help with getting people to read the content. Didn’t work for you it seems, but it got others to read, so…
You’re out here putting titles in all caps like an Infowars intern yet I’m the one screeching.
Correct
You know that they’re members of the same party, right?
I’m not american. Do you realize they only have two parties? Don’t come back at me with a whattabout third party unless you include some data about independant’s visibility, funding, and results from their recent election.
I put my cart before the horse and its not moving at all!
It’s kind of weird to make demands about visibility or funding or votes when the way a party gets that is by… Getting support. So the response to there being a duopoly is to put support in a third party. How do you think a party gets votes if not by people voting for them?
Do you look at bags of flour and expect them to spontaneously turn into cakes?
None of that’s happened yet so they should take a small amount of time to vote for the lesser of two evils then get their ass to work on doing the things you’ve described so next election they have another choice.
I don’t start trying to bake a cake if I know I don’t have any flour.
You seem to believe flour itself spontaneusly appears and if it doesn’t we should all just eat shit forever and nobody should try to bake a cake with whatever flour is available because the cake won’t be big enough for your liking, so everyone should just wait until enough flour spontaneusly appears and then wait for that flour to coalesce into a cake and then we can talk about maybe not eating shit.
You going “nuh uh” about believing cakes materialise out of nowhere and then going on to demand a cake materialises out of nowhere forced me to really stretch the analogy.
The lesser of two evils would be filibustering this legislation and delaying it until the next term, when it can be rewritten.
I agree with that too, what the usa is doing to the people of Venezuela is repugnant. Filibustering is an action for the elected officials whom I don’t have any patience for. My comments were intended to show some grace and sympathy for the american general public who are relentlessly propogandized and walked over.
Ah yes because the gop is the correct choice and are blameless here in this particular vote…
That’s how they get you: Democrats can do anything the want to you because Republicans are worse.
You types are incredible at hallucinating straw men. You should turn your creative energies towards creating art, rather than making up something noone is saying.
Yes. How is this vote related to the midterm results?
Just told you
Because the midterm results showed the mood and views of their voters. Thats quite obvious. What kind of question is that?
And how many of those 22 Democrats were reelected last week?
Of those who were up for re-election and voted to support it, only 1 wasn’t re-elected. This is based on my manual review.
So in other words, 6 (including Fetterman).
Are you missing the point on purpose or what?
