What a worthless party. 

[Blue Monday]

This is absolutely shameful

[SuperCiC1]

It is unbelievable to me how our government seems to just expect us to accept Palestinian lives as less valuable than Israeli lives given the wide disparity in the death tolls. Our government truly puts political interests over human lives and it is inherently sociopathic.

[Aston Martin]

Censuring the one member of congress who is Palestinian while Palestinians are getting murdered en mass is despicable. Absolutely despicable.  

[teresaguidice]

depraved...

[wehavetostan]

This is shameful 

[Mean Trees]

Zero credibility on ''human rights''.

[If U Seek Amy]

Those Dems should be ashamed. Brain rot

[Leppie]

List of dems who voted to censure? 

[BionicWooHoo]

And yet these centrists have never censured someone like MTG or the lady who gives handjobs in theaters. Dems have zero spine I swear 

[nostalgic]

Shameful. Anything to save their own asses at the polls even if it means throwing their colleagues under the bus.

They're largely all AIPAC/DMFI Blue Dogs except I think Steven Cohen, a rep from Tennessee who is in the Congressional Progressive Caucus and whose district is D+48. Ritchie Torres and two of the FL Dems are somehow in the CPC despite being largely funded by AIPAC too.

Worthless government, worthless politicians and worthless country 

[Archetype]

This is really disappointing.  Also want to remind everyone that despite this being bad, only 22 of the 212 House Dems voted to censure her.

The fact that 4 REPUBLICANS voted against censuring her makes the 22 Democrats who voted in favour of it look even more gross

Getting somehow out-flanked by fiscal conservatives like *checks notes* Thomas Massie. 

 

But as Ilhan once said, it must really be all about the benjamins

 

 

 

 

[Heirloom]

This is so heartbreaking, the two-party political system has truly failed.

[réveuse]

Horrible.

[She-Rah]

They are truly deplorable. 
 

Is there any dem worth supporting at this point? They’re all self-serving jerks starting from the White House occupant to all these spineless dems in congress 

[Bloodflowers.]

AmeriKKKa strikes again. Censoring her so they can continue to spread dangerous Zionist propaganda.

The whole two party system is garbage 

[suburbannature]

Worthless ass government 

[Chemist]

Is there a possibility that some of them could be primary'd?. That guy Richie Torrez is especially despicable and needs to be thrown out of power asap

The fact that he is gay . Giving ATRL

[Bhabylon]
