Funny how every time there's a shitty garbage bill that pushes us deeper into the waters of fascism it always has juuuust enough democratic support to pass. Wild how that works. Really makes you think.

Also wild how they seem to shuffle around who votes yay. Like they don't want people to get too aware of who the traitor is. Ahh what do I know. The machine of United States politics has shown itself to be rational and, at its core, honorable.
Absolutely unbelievable! And when we complain how absolutely awful the Democratic Party as a whole has become, we are pointed to a few stars and scolded for daring to speak out. These members are TRAITORS to the American People and free elections.
It’s time to clean house during midterms. Don’t just vote based on party. Research the candidates. We can’t trust that these people will align with party values.
Are there actually regularly good choices anywhere? Serious question, I don't pay a lot of attention to smaller elections but I get the impression that 99-100% of politicians are bought and paid for.
To be honest, I am really not sure. I wholeheartedly voted for my congressman during the elections, but unfortunately, he didn’t make it. Same for the Senate.
I recommend everyone look to see what elections your district holds in the upcoming years, and learn all you can about the people running.
Do you have a party whip in the US system? In the UK, if the party doesn't vote how the party whip advises them, they can be booted out of the party or temporarily suspended from the party. MPs can have free-for-all votes, but if it's a fundamental value of the party, it's vote right or get out
Note how liberals keep comparing or calling trump and republicans communists, it isn’t by accident they’re manufacturing consent to use all the tools trump has used against his enemies against theirs on the left
Centrist democrats are left aligned republicans thanks to the Overton window pushed by the media showing America about 20% further right than it actually is all while claiming it's gone 'radically left'.
Likely the U.S. House of Representatives passing the SAVE Act, which experts say will disenfranchise a large number of legal voters, particularly women.

All attempts to regulate capitalism have only served as speedbumps on the road to oligarchy.
It passed by more than the few idiot Dems that voted for it. It would have passed without them. Which is why they were OK voting to appease red voters in their districts
if they'd had 99 dems they'd have been like "woe!!! the deadly double filibuster has arisen from its ancient den! we need you to donate now so we can get 133 democratic senators and finally pass abortion rights!"

e.g., you can't kick anyone out of a party in the US
Obama was to the right of center as was Biden.
And the whole @schumer.senate.gov vote bull$hit.
