GalagaGuy Posted Saturday at 10:35 PM Posted Saturday at 10:35 PM This whole "Democrats need to do something" is basically a meme being repeated by morons. Democrats have no power to do anything and acting like making them read the bill as if it changes anything is just dumb. Quote

I'm all for making Republicans miserable, I just hate the way people are framing it as if there's anything of substance Democrats can do to stop things from being passed. The reason I get so annoyed is that I guarantee you many of the loudest voices screaming "DO SOMETHING" are people that protested the election last November by not voting or voting 3rd party. Quote
Motown Bombers Posted Sunday at 03:30 AM Posted Sunday at 03:30 AM It buys time for people to put the pressure on people like Susan Collins. The bill is universally hated. 1 Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted Sunday at 10:25 PM Posted Sunday at 10:25 PM Screw writing a book and making money off of it. If she wants to do the right thing she can start caucusing with and running as a Democrat. At a time like this, with Democrats down in the Senate, if she believes Trump is this big of a threat, she can choose to abandon Republicans and become a Democrat. Quote
Motown Bombers Posted Sunday at 10:31 PM Posted Sunday at 10:31 PM Murkowski would never be pure enough to be a Democrat. This is what the left thought of the last Dem who came from Alaska. BTW, Peltola would have been a no on the Medicaid cuts and the Republicans could only afford to lose 3 votes. Oh well. Good riddance. Quote

Any Dem that would come from Alaska is going to be pro gun. You take that because Peltola would have been a no vote on Medicaid cuts, supports abortion, and was pretty left on environmental issues. These leftists would rather have 100% of nothing instead of 90% of something because of their "principles." Murkowski becoming a Dem would be a huge win. It would get them one step closer to control of the senate and appointing committee chairs, but Murkowski would be another Manchin and stymie Dems more progressive agenda which will catch the ire of progressives. Speaking of Manchin, he would be a no on this vote. Don't realize what you had until it's gone. Quote
