Should there be a limit to how many times a democratic senator can kiss fascist ass before they are no longer protected

here as far as not saying anything "bad" about them? The recent Senate vote on funding the nazi ICE ss got me thinking about it. I mean, we went through this shit with Manchin, Sinema and even Garland through association.


US homeland security department on track for shutdown after funding bill fails in Senate
Lawmakers left Washington for a long weekend without resolving an impasse over much-criticized agency’s funding

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is on course for an official shutdown at midnight after lawmakers left Washington for a long weekend without resolving an impasse over the much-criticized agency’s funding.

A range of services, including domestic flights and the US Coastguard, could be vulnerable to disruption after the Senate failed on Thursday to clear the 60-vote threshold needed to pass the DHS appropriations bill. Democrats blocked the funding in protest over violent tactics used in the Trump administration’s recent immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.

The Senate fell almost entirely along party lines in a 52-47 vote on the legislation, with John Fetterman of Pennsylvania being the sole Democratic exception in backing the bill. Democrats also blocked an attempt to temporarily extend funding for two weeks at current levels.

Since he agrees with MAGA almost every single time.

I have never been more embarrassed to have promoted and voted for a candidate than the person in question.

As an example, the Heritage Foundation gives him a lifetime score of 7%.

Bernie Sanders has a lifetime score of 14%. This indicates the Bernie Sanders has been more frequently aligned with the Heritage Foundation (Clearly a MAGA organization) than Fetterman.

MAGA Scott Perry has a lifetime score of 91%.

The idea that Fetterman agrees with MAGA all the time is insane.

He supports the SAVE act, he supports ICE, he supports genocide, he doesn’t think Piss is a fascist, he frames his arguments from their standpoint, he voted for some of the worst people in this cabinet.

He’s not a friend of progress. He’s praised as the only “sane” Democrat by the right.

With friends like this….

Just know that, if you are going to do it, you'd better state a convincing argument, because you'll be taking your chances with the jury system.
