Senate Committee votes without Dems

And I am fine with that. I take no issue at all. In fact we should abstain in every vote for every cabinet nominee and every bill supported by trump.
Healthcare, Immigration, the fucking wall, SC nominee, Medicaid/Medicare and Social Security and all the rest.

I mean debate, work the room and air it all in a public forum but when it comes to a final vote, abstain or refuse to even be present and deny them a quorum and force their hand.

MAKE THEM OWN IT!

We must be united in our fight against trump's agenda because we will all be victims of it.

This is War... You can't fight a War when they other side says they are going to annihilate and destroy you and you just say "ok, I will go along. Because you have the power to do so and I can't win or survive".

No - you stand up for what is right and you use the only weapons and methods you have - and if you fail, you at least failed with courage and standing up to tyranny. And you might even survive to live another day...
