    Genuinely astonished at how dogshit the Democratic party is at negotiating or even just behaving like an opposition party. How do you walk away with a worse deal than the one you were offered before negotiations started?

      There are 47 senators + 213 representatives that are Dems or caucus with the Dems for a total of 260 total legislators.

      It only took 8 of them, or 3%, to fuck over the rest. 97% of the party and independents that caucus with the party were screwed over by that 3%.

        But yet again (because this happens on every critical vote) they won’t face any consequences for their “betrayal”. The real traitors are the Democratic leadership like Chuck Schumer who once again allowed this to happen, and who according to some sourced, “negotiated” the deal in the first place.
