Also there were 217 votes by Senate Republicans for it, and there are only 212 democrats in the house, so once again, impossible

HOUSE Republicans needed 218 to pass it.

Vacancies made it less as I discussed in the other comment, but I think you can win this discussion for the gender affirming care one.

The majority of Republicans voted for it, but they wouldn't have toppled 217

And it’s not about winning. It’s about encouraging people to pull their heads out of their ass, and recognize that we are fighting two fascist parties. Not just the GOP.

And again, those vacancies are the fault of the Dems.
