This is missing the forest for the trees

The issue is not they missed the vote, it's why they did and what that says more broadly about the party's capture.

3 of those house members are explicitly on the board of this AIPAC front group, another 5 of them took money this election cycle.

In the first major symbolic vote since the election, these Dems were prostituting themselves for a front group advancing the interests of an ethno supremacist foreign government engaging in a genocide that just helped manipulate our nation into a war and is seeking to re-escalate it.

    And not only that.

    There cunts have been blaming voters for not voting, foryears. Go vote, you have to vote, it is important to vote.

    And now when it is their turn to show everyone how it is done, they fuck off to suck dick. Imagine if few thousand people in Mississippi didn't go vote because they assumed there was no point in it.

    American politicians are truly biggest pieces of shit.
