45 democrats didn’t vote the way you want? And how many republicans didn’t? Are you really saying both sides are the same?

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No they are not but I am convinced that about 2/3 of the democrats don't give a shit about the party they are a member of nor its voters. If their only opportunity was to be a republican candidate they would jump at that opportunity without any internal moral conflicts. And I understand how frustrating it must be when a majority of a party that you are told to vote for has no moral issues with bombing a country where your relatives live to the ground.

There are 215 Democrats currently serving in the house. The 45 that voted with Republicans don't even make up a quarter let alone 2/3.

I am talking about the Sanders vote though. I think, there were about 10 that said yes to stop selling weapons.

two different wings of the same shitbird…

[–] Crankenstein@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Not even different wings. Both are right wing parties. The left wing of this bird was long since broken.
