9. No, but then again, passing the resolution
wasn't the goal. If they wanted to pass it, they could have reigned in the members of both parties, but that wasn't the purpose. They brought up relevant issues and used today as a platform to speak about it. Like she said "If there were any other platform to speak from, we would. But right now, this is all we have." This will probably factor into a big staple of the Democratic party from now on. Count every vote. Do you want to be disenfranchised? Then vote Republican. It's a message that could play well in midterms.
