The Democratic National Convention™ of Libjerk

Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
- No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
- Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
- Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
- The circlejerk is a zoo not an orgy; censor user and comm names, don't name instances, and don't go on the instance to dogpile/brigade.
We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

Actually, it would have passed if every Democrat voted Nay, by 3 votes.
216 R voted Yea and 208 of 213 dems voted Nay
Simple majorities can't pass legislation, according to every dem that has ever had to excuse their failure of a party, so how did this one pass?
In the Senate simple majorities cannot.
This vote was in the house.
SMH.
Really? I'm pretty sure this is magically going to pass the Senate too. Like nearly everything else republicans have put forward. What's the next excuse then? What's the excuse when they simply stop caring about decorum.
...
You want me to clarify a second time that there is no filibuster in the House of Representatives?
You want to explain why the unconstitutional practice of a filibuster stops dems but does not stop republicans?
This dude is trippling down on the imaginary house filibuster...
This dude is tripling down on the idea republicans don't pass legislation far more frequently than dems despite never having a filibuster-proof Senate majority.
Okay that’s a valid point. But doesn’t disqualify the other point…
