214 to 217 isn't a revolt. It's a clown show of how many 'elected officials' are chill to become Nazis and kill the other half and every person they represent in this country.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
I hope they realize that the more more they hand over to Trump the less necessary their jobs become.
Eventually Trump will just dissolve Congress because what's they point of their jobs anymore?
He wouldn't be wrong honestly. They have failed to check his power which is their one fucking job.
The conservatives like to talk about meritocracy and performance metrics, but that apparently it is never applied to them.
Soon they'll have all the power and authority of the DC representative
What is with these attempts to present trump as unpopular among american conservatives? He's not. They support his fascist regime because they're fascists. Even the 'moderates' are. Trump's regime will need to be overcome, not by ballots or 'rogue' congresspeople/senators. YOU need to do your part and organize.
You should do all of this AND vote.
In the Primaries as well
In the primaries especially.
this guy is trying to discourage you from voting, why?
They’re not, they’re laying out the very real possibility that the elections won’t stop him and that genuine resistance will be needed, of which organising before that happens is paramount.
Why are you discouraging people from preparing for Trump to steal the the election, do you want Trump to succeed?
So you decided to discourage voting too.
Stop that.
I'm not saying you shouldn't, but a lot of people seemed to believe that because biden won in 2020 that maga was defeated. They're fascists, the only thing that defeats them is death.
He is very unpopular amongst "traditional conservatives". The problem is no matter how hard we look we can't seem to find anything but fascist Maga fucknuggets now.
um like what. a year later. congress was made to be the most powerful branch of the us government and they keep abdicating power.
It’s about fucking time
Don't fall for the headline bait. It was a 3 vote margin. Republicans are almost all willing to give up their power to Trump.
