The fact that Democrats should be raising their voices as loudly as possible against this admin’s moves but instead a sizable 10 of them voted to censure the 1 Democrat who tried to in fact do that, tells you everything about the Democrats’ plans.
At this point, there are only a handful of them who are rallying their constituents and speaking out about this admin’s atrocities, but the majority is completely MIA. Then they wonder why their voters are MIA during the elections.
-
10 in the house, out of 215 or 214 depending on the exact time of death of Sylvester Turner, not really sizable imo. Also, since there were 0 Republican Nays, it would have passed regardless.
Give those 10 a piece of your mind, yes, but it's not sizable or impactful at all.
-
It should have been zero. Stop making excuses.
-
The point you seem to be missing is that you're using the actions of ten to condemn the whole party, which isn't reasonable.
-
I don't accept excuses. It should have been zero. democrats expect unthinking lockstep from their voters no matter what they do, so I expect them to vote with the party.
All of them.
-
That doesn't make sense. How can you blame the party for party members defying the party line?
-
If they accept it when it's legislators doing it, they don't get to demand it from voters.
-
What does that even mean?
-
If democrats just accept that they're going to have turncoats in the legislature, they don't get to demand perfect lockstep from voters. They can't keep control of a couple hundred people, but expect to scold millions into voting for them no matter what they do.
-
What are you talking about? "Perfect lockstep?"
-
When do Democrats "demand perfect lockstep?"
How is it possible to demand that of the average person, who votes about once every two years?
-
We're going to nominate someone who does things you find abhorrent. We will put all our resources into making certain that no one who prioritizes what you prioritize makes it through the primaries, and not really give much of a shit about the general. We will shout abuse at you for all criticism, demand but never think of earning your vote, and blame you every time we lose, regardless of how you vote.
We will fervently and lovingly kiss the asses of the worst republicans of the previous decades just to gloat about how far to the right we've taken the party.
