Hm, almost like that was the plan the whole time. They can say they tried and aren't as nasty as those Republicans (WHO ARE NOT DEMOCRATS) though right? Democrats fully support fascist policies y'all, they're hoping this admin collapses and affords them a reputation that enables those policies with greater public support.

You're aware it was only a handful of Democrats who defected, right? They didn't unanimously decide to roll over, 8 flipped and 39 are still against it
8 who conveniently aren’t up for reelection until 2030 and 2028 or who have already announced they won’t be running again…
7 Democrats 1 Independent
not that it matters much, but it's important to point out that all political parties are corrupt pieces of shit.
8 flipped and some fraction of those 39 are happy to use the 8 as cover.
Like they did when 8 senators worked with republicans to kill the minimum wage increase.
EDIT: Shaheen, Hassan, and King voted no on the minimum wage increase and also voted yes on ending the shutdown.
Oh my, how foolish of me. Of course of course, they didn't all publicly concede and therefore the party isn't a liberal party complicit in fascism intentionally, it just happens to be a liberal party complicit in fascism because of a few bad apples. I see now, I should totally trust the liberal party complicit in fascism because if I do, we might be able to cull those bad apples one day, promey.
I know what voting is. Maybe you shouldn't make a habit of assuming people are just stupid if you don't understand what they're saying.

Centrists know their arguments are nothing more than meritless excuses, so they pretend people who disagree with them are stupid/children/shills/bots/evil foreigners.
And the motherfuckers are killing the hemp industry in bundling it into the minibus. All hemp derived cannabinoid products will be federally illegal once again.
300,000 American jobs will vanish next year because of this bullshit. A very strong and growing industry, adding jobs and around $35 billion (B) to GDP since it's legalization in the 2018 Farm Bill - oddly enough, passed by the same group of fucking shitheels!
Once again, the 'party of small government' is legislating morality.
