Rep.

Every democrat and one republican voted agianst this bill.
What else do you think they can do?
Remove some Republicans from office via the 14th amendment.
Lead protests. Not just parades but actual disruptive protests
Back left wing candidates
Use any and all procedural tricks to delay things.
other stuff that moderators don’t like
I don’t understand why literally every Democrat in the Senate didn’t line up to filibuster this bill. Booker’s performative filibuster was toothless. This could actually have done something to change public policy.
You can’t filibuster a bill using the reconciliation process.
In my imagination there are increasingly desperate actions they could do to stop the bill from proceeding. Pull the fire alarm. Start a fire. Cover all the chairs with honey. I don’t know. I feel like if it looked like a portal to hell was about to open I would break a lot of norms and rules to stop it
Apparently they’re not even allowed an open floor to talk, but Hakeem Jeffries at least took the opportunity for 08:44
That’s the house, and only because it was a bill passed back to the house, after previous passage, to review senate revisions. Otherwise they would have been allowed to debate much more if this was the first time the house had the bill.
It’s not just your imagination. Think back to the last 8 years and how much horseshit has come out that “wasn’t law” but was allowed. That same thinking and action could easily be applied by the opposition, but it turns out the opposition is a wet paper towel.
I’m not smart enough to steer this, but there has to be a group trying to put together a legitimate third party. Let’s talk about that. Anytime theres a fucking comical issue upfront, talk about that, and don’t relent.
That’s a procedural rule I wasn’t aware of. Thanks for the clarification.
i said this the other day and got downvoted to hell, in addition to people telling me “well they did filibuster it”
Yes. Because it was filibustered for a day.
“They did the thing i wanted but i said they didn’t and i don’t understand why people don’t agree with me”
Why did it only go on a day, why didnt it go longer? There are no rules stating they can’t.
You already know the reason, someone else already said why. I’m not going to get drawn into a circlejerk argument with you just because you refuse reality.
We all knew it was going to get passed. But if they did it for two days… Donald be crying, because he can’t sign it on the 4th. That’s what I was hoping.
I’d rather have people do realistic things than grandstand because it’s entertaining.
That stuff that moderators don’t like is about all we can do at this point. What legal recourse do we have? Voting? Lmao
Yeah, perfectly reasonable expectation… Sometimes it feels like talking to children on this site I swear.
How does backing canisates do anything to stop a bill?
What are “moderators” in government?
I meant more generally, so democrats can win elections and then win votes. It’s something they should have been doing for the past decade. Look at how the democratic party is treating Zohran for an example of how not to do it.
You fight the battle you’re in.
And agian, what are government moderators?
Oh, sorry. I meant the moderators of lemmy.world. If you say anything too spicy, your comment gets removed
Sharpen the guillotine
I can’t disagree with this.
That was in the senate. In the house only 1 R voted no.
Appreciate that. Corrected.
