Kamala was day drinking in Brentwood, CA when this was occurring
New senate parliamentarian excuse and it’s “Kamala didn’t check her texts :(“
The explanation is simple: The Democrats are a party of do nothing capitalists who only want power so that they can line their own pockets while pretending like they care about anyone but themselves. Any other explanation is wrong
They think that politics are just an excuse to feel important at a cocktail party
Somehow I am always surprised by Dem incompetence. Giving up the game this obviously is deeply silly.
I think there’s an element of spite to it. They want to punish voters for failing them and they want voters to know it.
Never attribute malice to what can be explained by serving the interests of Capital. The Dems make good money by feigning resistance, I think they showed their hand a bit obviously this time.
They showed their hand so obviously on purpose. It’s too obvious to be anything other than intentional.
And that serves the interests of Capital too. It’s prole control, put them in their place and remind them that Capital is in charge.
“this is what you wanted, tankies!” dude, you all are still in power
“Do you have any idea how hard it is to give a shit about things like this when you’re whacked out on enough Xanax to make Biden look cogent in comparison?”Why would anyone want too leave sunny Hawaii to head to freezing DC?
Same face
whomst among us hasn’t left the phone on ‘do not disturb’ while on the clock
The entire thread
Due to an unforced error by Democrats, we lost the National Labor Relations Board majority two years earlier than expected. This is a huge setback for the hundreds of thousands of workers across this country organizing for a better contract. Let me explain. 🧵
The NLRB is America’s leading labor law enforcement agency. In the last 3 years, union petitions have doubled because we have a strong NLRB that supports workers who choose to form unions, ensures that corporations allow free and fair union elections, and protects union workers if Big Business retaliates against them.
The term of our previous NLRB Chair, Lauren McFerran, just expired on December 15th. She was eligible for reconfirmation alongside a Republican, who’d be paired with her. This would’ve secured a 3-2 Democratic majority on the NLRB for the first two years of Trump’s second term. @BernieSanders did the right thing. He cleared her nomination on August 6, but the Dems fumbled it.
On the morning of the 11th, Senate Democrats had a chance to move McFarren’s nomination vote through – which would’ve led to a secondary vote to confirm. Senator Vance, Roberts, and Manchin were absent that morning. But we delayed the vote (for what I’m hearing described as “no reason”) until Vance and Manchin returned, deadlocking the vote at 49-49.
We then failed to get word to Vice President Harris quickly enough to come and deliver the tie-breaking vote. In the 90 minutes that transpired, Senator Manchin returned first, swinging the vote in the other direction and ceding the NLRB to MAGA control two years earlier than necessary. These procedural blunders have massive implications for the American people, who deserve better from their elected officials. American workers deserve an explanation.
It will hurt the young folks organizing at Starbucks and the workers organizing at Amazon. It’s inexcusable and inexplicable that we did not prioritize confirming the NLRB appointees like we do federal judges and have ceded the Board two years before we needed to.
i believe none of that is true… the deals mostly end up nothing-burgers and Biden broke strikes anyway
Fuck do you mean failed to get word to her she’s a senator during a senatorial vote and she’s still sitting Vice President
Where the fuck else would she be if not vooting?
we forgor
💀
Procedural blunders, anyone who fuckin believes this wasn’t intentional is a fool
One party state ass fake ass hell country
Deeply unserious party
Sorry, I’m short on rent this month, but here’s an explanation. Yeah, my deductable doesn’t cover it, but maybe you’d take an explanation. My entire community got decimated by closures and outsourcing, but what we need is an explanation.
These are the people we were supposed to place all our trust in.
but directed at herself
Do they still want to be taken seriously though???
You better if you don’t want
!
Whiplash everytime I rewatch the wire and Ben Carson the surgeon comes up 😂
