This is uncharacteristic of the Democrats. Usually they spend a bit more time dangling the current moment's HOPE and CHANGE in front of the base before pulling it away like Lucy with the football. Do you think after 200 years they grow sick of The Hunt, like a worn-out and listless vampire?

Kind of. More like the mask is falling from the face of liberalism and we’re about to see a lot more death.

I think they knew it'd fail so they'd have good optics voting for it

Bluesky comments

Collins got permission to vote for it, knowing it would lose

Yeah Bernie just helped Collins reelection bid.

Turns out Rand Paul talks a good game but still votes for this trash.

Reminds me of the speech Trump gave early on into this term where the democrats brought auction paddles and Al Green got removed for being unhappy and black.

Trump said something along the lines of "You can do your little protest, but when the time comes you'll vote right. Yes you will, we both know it, also I'm the best president who has ever existed, and Joe Biden is the worst president who has ever existed," and then he started giving shit out like Oprah. "Check under your seat, that's right it's an Honorary SS Armband! And you over there, You guessed it: no more trans athletes!"

I'm off on a tangent but anyways...
