The Senate just voted 67-32 to confirm Lori Chavez-DeRemer as labor secretary, which means a lot of Dems voted for her. During a fucking constitutional crisis.

Hang on second, is there any report about them holding up little matching signs while they were voting?

💯💯💯I will never understand one fucking Dem voting for any nominee.

There is absolutely no downside to voting against Trump nominees because the Republicans can ram it through. So why do they go along?

They'll probably vote for the CR because "we'll get blamed."

The first statement is controversial but the second one should not be. “Don’t help Trump” seems like the absolute bare minimum to expect from the people who are charging you money in exchange for hashtag resisting

Obstructionism is the absolute LOWEST bar they should be clearing and they're limbo-ing under it.

Dems are failing the country so hard, that entire party needs to go.

Agree in principle. This one is a bit different as this nominee was supported by labor and is generally thought to be pro labor.

No Trump appointees are a bit different.

Several prominent labor orgs have endorsed her including the teamsters. She was a co-sponsor of the PROS act in the house which would have clawed back right to work laws. Bernie Sanders spoke complimentary of her at her hearing.

Not the point.

And her nomination is in the context of a scofflaw administration which is unconstitutionally transferring as much power from the legislature to the executive as it can get away with. Why should Democratic congressfolk abet any of their aims?

tiimbitz4786.bsky.social•8 days ago

I agree with all that except for the part where you think it’s a deep betrayal that some dems confirmed a pro labor nominee to head the dept of labor. I don’t think performative opposition to her would accomplish anything and her appointment displaces an acting secretary who is less pro labor.
