45 Democrats vote with GOP to pass bill sanctioning ICC over Netanyahu warrant.
“Republicans want to sanction the ICC simply because they don’t want the rules to apply to everyone,” one lawmaker said.
You're viewing a single thread.
75% of Democrats voted against it and 100% of Republicans supported it. The problem in this country is Democrats, because a portion of them side with Republicans sometimes.
Honestly the fact that 75% of Democrats voted against it is actually kinda surprising. In the past close to 100% of both parties were knee-jerk pro-Israel votes. This means there's actually a good chance it won't pass the senate. If people wanna call their senator instead of complaining online, maybe it won't. I'm in DC so I'm allowed to just complain online until you give me my two senators.
Do the 75% of the Democrats call out and throw out the 25%? Like the whole ACAB thing, how are these people allowed to represent the party?
Because their constituents voted for them.
That's true of Trump and Hitler as well, does that mean the Dems are happy to be on the same platform as them?
The DNC allowed them into the party.
No, their state Democratic party did. Because they won a primary election.
There is no requirement that the party keep you. You can keep your seat. The people gave you your seat. The party gave you it's name and backing. The party can publicly disavow you at any time.
Democratic primaries being famously neutral and all.
lmao why would the "representatives" care
If fewer Republicans voted for it, more Democrats would have.
I'd like to see a breakdown of this idea. Some people say Democrats seem to perfectly shore up votes to push through conservative shit, but the idea is the same color as "it's them vs us."
