House Democrats ensure funding of Trump’s global military rampage and domestic dictatorship - Divisions by zero

>These votes demonstrate that the Democratic Party functions not as an opposition but as an enabler of the Trump administration. Its priority is to ensure the uninterrupted funding of the US military while diverting popular opposition with calls for meaningless cosmetic changes to the administration’s efforts to establish a presidential dictatorship.

I really don’t understand how this can be viewed as anything other than a win.

Necessary social programs, including taxing and auditing the rich, are getting funded through September while the entire DHS runs out in 2 weeks. That’s fantastic. That’s the best fucking news I’ve heard since before the second Trump term began.

Because people only read the headline and the same negative comments always get the most upvotes.

My theory is if 21 Republicans voted against it then there’s got to be some good things in there.

I don’t understand your position. Can you help me understand your point of view?

I’m stuck in my point of view, and all I can think of is if 20 nazis figured they could build another concentration camp for children, if they didn’t vote for a bill, would that make the bill that continued funding the first one good on the whole? Even if it funded some libraries?

Ask yourself why the house freedom caucus is voting against it. It’s because they wanted more funding for ice and more damage to the working class and less oversight on the rich.
