I don't mind when DEMS vote in support of the GOP or even Trump but I expect them to receive something in return. That was how things were done at one time (I scratch your back, you scratch mine). But here they voted to insulate Trump's crypto scam and received nothing in return. The main tool the DEMS have to oppose the GOP is their vote and they just cannot use that tool effectively.
