SuperDuper

I find it suspicious that it was the exact amount of votes needed, all of whom just happen to not be up for reelection next year. Feels like they just happened to be the senators for whom it was “safest” to piss people off.

Genuinely astonished at how dogshit the Democratic party is at negotiating or even just behaving like an opposition party. How do you walk away with a worse deal than the one you were offered before negotiations started?

It wasn’t “nothing”

In addition to getting everything the republicans wanted 40 days ago and nothing the democrats wanted 40 days ago, they also got a federal ban on hemp-derived THC, and gave republican congressmen the ability to sue the federal government for millions of dollars for being investigated for trying to overthrow the government on January 6th. You would be paying your employer a paycheck if you let the democrats negotiate a raise on your behalf.
