      It was extremely obvious that he was going to be. He was Pelosi’s pick.

      These establishment props need to go, I’m over them and their constant failure to move the needle.

    Also, always funny when I see liberals downvoting truthful articles about their beloved democrats being shitty, too.

      Liberal doesn’t mean left anymore. We seem to be conflating them these days. I hope that changes.

        Liberal never really meant left. Traditionally “liberal” was more an old-timey word for libertarian.

        Even more recently “liberal” was just kinda an upper-class socially conscious do gooder who would always be reactionary if they felt personally threatened in any way.

        Never really did though. Anyone who is actually excited by establishment democrats isn’t really any kind of leftist.

          Fair point. I think my conflation of the two came from media despite me always shaking my fists at the people who were supposed to be on my side.

          Despite all that, I’ve always referred to myself as a leftist (and when joking around, I would add “pinko commie bastard”).

      But 52 Democratic lawmakers — including Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), and Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) — apparently did not share the grave concerns expressed by the ACLU and other leading rights groups, opting to vote alongside 204 Republicans in favor of the bill.

      One Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, joined 144 Democrats in voting no.
