TLDR: Mike Johnson hates proxy voting in congress. Some republican wanted to allow new parents to be able to use proxy voting. One of them is trying to force a vote on it

Mike Johnson tried changing the rules to not allow that, but 9 republicans joined dems to block his attempt. He’s pissed about it and canceling tons of votes because of it

    Much as I would love a true progressive party, in the current system I think we have to settle for a democratic party acting as a coalition of anti-Republican/MAGA factions until we can fix our fptp voting system.

    This has been said every 4 years since Reagan was elected.

    A progressive party that is not able to be controlled by the rich DNC leaders is the only way to kill the Duopoly.
