Congress passed a symbolic resolution on Tuesday to condemn socialism — a move that saw eight Democrats cross the aisle to back the GOP on the measure.
The vote, which has no actual effect on public policy, was swiftly mocked by observers on social media.
“Voting to condemn an economic system that doesn’t exist in our country, to protect the one which we live under that exploits the working class to benefit the obscenely wealthy,” wrote Melanie D’Arrigo, executive director of Campaign for New York Health. “This was Congress’ priority as 60% of Americans struggle to afford food, housing and healthcare. Embarrassing.”
Republicans being out to lunch and wasting everyone’s time with culture war nonsense I understand, but Dems supporting this is beyond their normal level of ridiculously poor work. This is an embarrasment to the whole party and those 8 dems need to lose every bit of standing, support, and any seats they have within the party structure. I’m sure they will get right on that.
These 8 are the revolving villains that will take turns voting for or against legislation to make sure nothing moves left but status quo remains.
