Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
- No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
- Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
- Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
- This is a genAI friendly instance, so no complaining about genAI content.
We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

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?
In the Senate simple majorities cannot.
This vote was in the house.
SMH.
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.
...
You want me to clarify a second time that there is no filibuster in the House of Representatives?
You want to explain why the unconstitutional practice of a filibuster stops dems but does not stop republicans?
This dude is trippling down on the imaginary house filibuster...
This dude is tripling down on the idea republicans don't pass legislation far more frequently than dems despite never having a filibuster-proof Senate majority.
Okay that’s a valid point. But doesn’t disqualify the other point…
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'.
