I mean, if your options are "do the right thing and have your opponent do all the horrible things if given the chance: or “do the wrong thing and have your opponent do all the horrible things if given the chance,” you have to choose the former.
The idea that Democrats can stop the insanity by being nice is itself insane.
I don’t think they’ll do it to the whole squad but if R’s take the house we all know Omar’s gonna get tossed from committees asap now.
Agree Ds are doing the right thing, just noting how horrible Rs are. The only non-WAAF option was for Rs to take out their own trash.
Part of the benefit of the Dems forcing the vote is that it theoretically fractures the GOP caucus by putting everyone on the record.
It’s not gonna be fractured. Will get no more than the 10 votes we had for Trump’s impeachment on this and those that vote Yes will be pariahed.
Marching orders will be, “I don’t agree with Greene on everything but this is stuff she did before becoming a Congresswoman, how far back do we go, did YOU do anything shameful during your college days???, whatabout Ralph Northam blackface, etc. meowchow. LIBERAL WITCH-HUNT!”
I guarantee you Nancy Mace doesn’t want to take a vote on whether she’s yea or nay on MTG. That’s an easy commercial for her Dem opponent in '22.
Had to go elsewhere because no data for NJ, but I’m also in the damn woods and we were Trump +20, which is pretty bad for my state. Still dozens of Trump flags flying around here.
One day later
The people who 
ed Jordan’s post were @beetlejuice, @smrk4, @otatop, @Sogge, @la2sb91, @King_of_NY, @Fatboy8 and @TrueNorth32.
I went back and hearted it.
This is already the case, isn’t it? The issue is if you have a state that is 50/50 Dem/Rep, you can draw the districts so that you have nine 55/45 Rep districts and one 90/10 Dem district.

lol forever. At least we bought 2 more years before the complete destruction of democracy
It’s really dumb politically not to send 2k checks to most people even though I totally agree with shafting people who earn a lot of money on it.
at least they’re not dumb enough to still think R’s will work with them guess that’s progress
This shit is not difficult. If you truly refuse to give money to “everybody” then just take it back when they do their taxes. Setting these absurd income limits is just going to piss people off.
These people are just straight up fucking idiots.
Sure, send $0 to the suburban types that put you in office you god damn fucking imbeciles.
And March 14? As in 6 weeks from now?
I give up
I mean the targeting almost entirely manchin fault. He’s the one who keeps talking about it. It’s probably a requirement for him to sign on. Hopefully it’s just a small adjustment like phasing out starts at 65k or something.
It’s not what he wants, it’s what his breaking point is. Dems seem to not understand this. He’s not going to veto relief for the entire country, including for vaccines, state and local governments, etc. because the checks are going to too many people.
Just gutless morons at every turn.
