3. Yes, Biden is expected to veto.

But this is only one example of how one person's absence can impact the Senate, when there are such narrow margins.

(See: judiciary nominations).

I'm not one to push someone off their job, but I'm also worried, especially given the bad 2024 map for Senate Dems.

NOW is the time to shore up as much as possible. And we can't do that, if we're missing a key vote.

@Celeste_pewter Given how many campaign promises Biden has defaulted on (COVID and immigration, just to name two), it's already going to be uphill to get people to vote against the fascists; we really need to get as much done before then as possible.

(I know you know, it's just ::throws hands up in frustration:: )

@herhandsmyhands @Celeste_pewter Oh, good grief, with razor thin majorities and a conservative judiciary he couldn't do everything he wanted to. Geez...this is real life, not unicorn land.

In real life, it's amazing he withdrew troops from Afghanistan, got major climate legislation passed, signed order for student debt relief, negotiated a global corporate minimum tax rate, ended family separation, established protections for LGBTQ in the military, infrastructure legislation, etc.
