1. "A Spine, a spine, my kingdom for a spine!"

[SHRED]

2. Why couldn't they have such together...

...forced the Republicans to do the same?

How hard is that?

3. Democrats usually do not speak with one voice. In fact that is why we are the Democratic party

[pangaia]

5. But this is beyond the pale...

They can't even find 'one voice' against insanity !!

[SHRED]

6. I heard meely mouthing...

...from Al Franken about why he did.

No balls. None.

[pangaia]

12. That kinda surprised me. As did Bernie voting for a couple of them.

[pangaia]

4. Yikes ! I had no idea how bad those votes were..

Why not bash them !! Shit !!

Who the hell is supposed to represent us and stand up for us ???

7. There are those Democrats who don't seem to understand the nature of democracy

They want us to blindly pledge allegiance to anyone with a (d) next to their name. Doesn't matter how they vote, because the other side is so horrible.

They want us to support whomever the Party Leaders select as their preferred candidate for open seats. Primaries are to be preordained contests. God help those who try to upset that applecart.

Doesn't sound very different from the other side.

How the hell do things get better if we aren't allowed to express our discontent? If we aren't allowed to pressure those who betray principles we hold dear? Are things really so bad that we must blindly trust those leaders who have failed us so often?

8. We might have to change the name to the Lap Dog Party.

[LittleBlue]

9. All this talk and these marches, yet we can't muster the votes

What the fuck is the point if lawmakers don't have a backbone?

The Democratic senators might as well be Melania's lapdogs right now.

13. word

[SHRED]

16. Good point

We march and our ourselves on the line yet they cannot see fit to cover our backs?

[LittleBlue]

17. Indeed. Your apt comparison reveals us to be political cannon fodder

Holding the front while our senatorial flanks are routed without even engaging in combat.

[killbotfactory]

10. I truly don't get it

I guess they want to be seen as the "reasonable" politicians, but after eight years of republicans stonewalling everything?

Fuck that.

None of these cabinet positions need democratic support.

11. Senator Sherrod Brown is getting a call & letter this week.

Normaly he is one of the good guys.

15. if they cant BE a democrat
