(93,420 posts)NO Democrat voted for ANY of the finding.
So what is this canard supposed to do in changing that equation voters saddled the Democratic party leaders with.
No new Dem leader is going to do anything differently in this case. They just aren't.
Isn't it obvious that's why no Democrat that voted to advance either Dem leader is calling for anyone to replace them, or claiming they could do better?
I mean, who do people think elect the Dem leadership of the party??
Clue: it's not the voters in the districts who want and need these two legislators to represent them in their respective states and districts.
Seriously, what the fuck is voting them out of power about? Neither has ever supported the funding or this administration's use of it. Neither is out of step with the people they lead in their respective caucuses.
Voting them out of a slim majority with the expectation that would change the equation in a Democratic minority in both Houses is the height of delusion and falsity.
