    How can I explain this to you? If those few “Democrats” hadn’t voted for it, it wouldn’t have passed.

    The SAVE Act passed 220–208, with Democrats Jared Golden, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Henry Cuellar, and Ed Case voting in support of a bill that could disenfranchise millions of voters.

    People don’t expect anything different from the Republicans, but for some reason folks have higher expectations of the Democrats, despite decades of soul crushing disappointment.

      …And if any of the 216 conservatives hadn’t, it would have passed either. Or what about-

      If it hadn’t been drafted at all, it would lot have passed.

      As long as you’re blaming the fire, you’ll never see who lit the match. But I suppose that first matter anymore, so…. Go on. Have fun lynching the few while the many continue doing whatever the fuck they want.
