    The elected Republicans are largely doing what they said they’d do to get elected, whether or not they’re good people or support good policy, they’re representing what their constituents voted for.

    It doesn’t matter if every R is worse, an R wouldn’t have Chucklefuck’s seat, which is why he needs to be primaried out next time, and we hope whoever does that can faithfully represent the will of the people who elected them.

    The 10 Dems that supported this fiasco are not representing their constituents and those constituents have no recourse under the law to fix that other than just waiting to hopefully not get tricked next time. Traitors deserve all the ire they get.

      I guarantee you the vast majority if not every Republican legislator in congress is reneging on promises not to cut Medicaid which they made on the campaign trails. Schumer likely never promised to defund the federal government if Republicans took majorities.

        Can’t wait to see which democrats vote for cloture then.
