Millions of Americans will lose healthcare, education opportunities, jobs, their homes, etc. because Democrats can’t fucking retire.
If a candidate is over 65, I will campaign against them in the primaries. Fuck this noise.
Um hold on. The bill didn’t need democrat votes. Alive or dead, a non-vote functions the same as a no vote.
The republicans could t afford to lose many votes. There were some republicans who voted “present” but I can assure you that would have change to a yes vote if they needed it.
Anyone old enough to drop dead while in office is too old to be in office. Retirement age should disqualify you from working in government.
No one should have the ability to influence a future they won’t spend a meaningful amount of time in.
I’m a little tired of people blaming Democrats for Republican malfeasance.
“Everything bad the GOP does is the democrats fault!”
Also, the GOP could have still passed the bill even with those three members voting no.
Look, I agree completely that we should have younger representatives, but there are so many young voters who don’t care to show up and elect someone to reflect what they want in office. Old people do show up and they elect people that they believe will look out for them.
Young people need to run for office you can’t just wait for people to do things for you.
does anyone else lose all hope for the future when seeing how willfully everybody let’s Republicans off the hook so that we can rush to blame Democrats.
Republicans passed a bill that will fuck over the middle class, give huge handouts to the ultra-wealthy, and cut healthcare for millions if Americans.
They passed the bill with zero, 0, ZERO democrat votes and the 3 who died would have made no difference at all.
OP and other fucking idiots – “It’s all Democrats fault! Let’s sit out the next election to teach them a lesson.”
Too convenient. Like RBG’s death just before the election gave Trump a SCOTUS seat that should have gone to Biden. They were all Epsteined.
Gop takes 🍊 up the backside every day and twice on Sundays.
Two Republicans were not present for the vote and one voted present. If their votes were needed for passage, it’s pretty likely they would have been flipped to yes. I think it is still worth making them vote yes and be on the record, though.
It’s also possible that if they actually needed every R vote to pass it, and everyone knew they needed every R vote to pass it, we would have seen more holdouts and more people demanding concessions. An individual member has a lot more power when their vote is necessary to pass legislation (see Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema), but when leadership can get what they want done without you it’s not worth making them mad and getting cut out of the legislation.
We’ll never know the alternative history of what happened if we had those three votes, but I think it’s safe to say it would have been at least marginally better if we had them.
Take this shit down OP, you’re full of shit
I am so sick of these geriatrics ruling us. Dem or not, this is ridiculous.
I vote in every election and I do my research on everyone from judges down to commissioners. You don’t get my vote if you’re over 70. Call me ageist, whatever. Dying in office is ridiculous
TERM LIMITS!
Yeah, blame docrats for what the Republicans did.
“Stop punching yourself” says the bully as he pummels you
Maybe Abbott will now allow Texans to vote on a replacement for Turner, who died right after being elected.
That only enables three Republicans to pretend to have “standards.” It would not have altered the vote.
Side note – neither TX gov nor VA gov has any plans to hold special elections to fill those seats.
Nope, even if those three were alive this bill was going to pass (I’m guessing you’re new to American politics). The Republicans had the numbers, so this was going to pass no matter what.
Like it or not, the majority of Americans voted for this. 77 million voted for Trump, and 89 million sat out and decided that they would be fine with whoever got elected (2/3 of all registered voters). Only 75 million opposed a second Trump term.
This is what America voted for. We are the fucking problem with this country. We are the bad guys.
I agree. Remove the stagnant boomers, we need young people that care about the country and the planet.
Watch the democrats dig up a few 99 yo to replace them
This kind of infighting I see in the comments gets us nowhere.
I have the same kind of sentiments but we need better candidates, it’s the one surefire to get the people we need out.
Hopefully if you win, you can ACTUALLY effect change, but for now it’s the keyboards for us all.
This is so much more than a budget bill.
There is a really dangerous provision hidden in there:
>“No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued….”
Translated: No federal court may enforce a contempt citation.
This week!
Chuck Grassley or Grace Napolitano… are we taking bets
Bruh these people will stop at nothing to blame dems. 214 Republicans voted for it, umm lets see how the dems are responsible. Stop upvoting this republican crap as humorous its not.
Its like you can’t count. Even if they were alive R’s still have more than enough votes, you lot are just dense
Here we go, blaming Democrats for the GOP’s bill. Gfy
If they were alive, Republicans still would have made it pass by 1 vote. If you pay attention, anything thats unpopular pushed by Republicans always has one less defector than what would be needed to defeat it. So Susan Collins or whoever, get to go and say “look I’m a moderate, I don’t suck on Trump’s orange starfish” but they don’t actually cause the bad thing to be blocked.
This bill passed because Republicans suck. Dems being old is a separate issue.
Yep, the RBG syndrome. The whole thing is rotten from the head on down.
Term or age limits for congress?
Damn those voters who elected people! Better yet it’s all the Democrats fault. Republicans have majority in the House that overrides all Democrats on this bill even if everyone was alive. Again, it’s all the Democrats fault.
This reeks of both sides the same bullshit
It is not logical to blame the minority party for the passage of any legislation
