    “it passed with 263 votes in favor to 156 against, with 14 members not voting.”

    So 43 Democrats voted for it? More or less depending on who the non-voters are.

      And this is why the democrats keep losing. I’d much rather Harris won the presidency but the DNC has adopted a fair number of GOP stances.

      There are still important differences of course - but there are a lot of view points that are simply unrepresented in American politics outside a handful of people like AoC and Sanders.

        That’s because the Democratic party has been conservative for decades, regardless of the bullshit they’ve been saying. The only “liberal” parts have been some social stances for over 20 years. As soon as economic issue come up its been full speed ahead for whatever businesses want.
