    I’d be curious to know the split for and against. How many Dems still support a fascist paramilitary?

    However many it takes for the vote against it to fail.

      Exactly. 17 years of “incremental progress” and absolutely fuck all has improved.

        “Oh no, guys we really tried to pass the ‘No More Orphan Crushing Machines!’ bill again but just enough Democrats who were just re-elected and not up for a vote for many years voted the other way to keep it happening again. This is awful. We feel so bad. We can’t believe it’s happened 15 times in a row with different Democrats we still tell you that you should support flipping to vote against it at that last second every time! If you keep voting us and the other Democrats who just voted against this bill in, we promise to keep trying just as hard as we have been!”

        Then when Democratic Socialists who want to actually change things instead of selling out to corporations and AIPAC start gaining popularity the establishment Dems declare war on them while remaining mostly silent on the complete insanity the country is going through.

        Not really a tough pattern to see.
