How many democrats? Bernie’s rad, but very few of them actually work for people and I have a hard time believing anything will come of this.
Corporate interests, but with a rainbow paint job, is what most of them represent. Although, I do prefer the rainbow paint job to the authoritarian one the republicans use.
29 senators and 150 members of the house
19 Democrat Senators oppose this? Nearly half of the “left-leaning” party opposes something THIS modest!?
Although not support has the same outcome, ut is not the same thing as oppose. They might not be in favor of it enough right now but willing to vote for it when the time comes.
Not enough to get past the filibuster they won’t let go of for whatever bullhlshit reason though.
What? My pandering politicians didn’t actually put their money where their mouth is?!? Gasp!
Oh wow. That’s way more than I thought there’d be. Why isn’t that in the article?
I’m still disappointed it won’t pass though.
It is in the article, it’s in the second paragraph
Oh! Must have read too fast.
(Assuming numbers from parent comment are correct) To put another way: about 60% of Democrats in the Senate and 70% of them in the house.
These account for 29% and 34% of the total House and Senate votes respectively.
its from the article, I didn’t even read it I just skimmed it…
What kills me is that I did more research verifying the actual numbers of Democrats and total number of people in the houses of Congress than it would have taken to read the article.
Yet, I did not read the article.
Although, I do prefer the rainbow paint job to the authoritarian one the republicans use.i don’t because it gives the worst of them, especially biden, a facade of progressiveness when their history is fully of nothing but opportunistic political plays to the people who can’t be arsed to do a 30 second google search; which is about 95% of people; and it inevitably leads to votes for them on fairly tale beliefs of what they stand for when nothing could be further from the truth.
Well, at least the democrats didn’t strip away abortion rights. Lesser of two evils and all that.
