So let me get this straight

[SHRED]

We're in the streets and Dem Senators, including Bernie, are voting for his cabinet picks?

WTF?

[Freedomofspeech]

1. How can they morally do this?

Horrifying!

[manicraven]

2. Yep. Once again, the Dem senators are playing nice.

They didn't learn anything from the last 8 years.

[LisaL]

3. Bernie even said he would be delighted to work with Trump on trade.

[mountain grammy]

4. Kirsten Gillibrand

Only Democratc senator, including Warren, who's voted against every last one of these fuckers.

[Bettie]

6. I donated to her

becasue of this one fact.

[killbotfactory]

9. I think Warren voted for Carson.

Because, essentially, any other person Trump nominated would be worse.

It may be true, but democrats cant stop any of the nominations, just vote against! wtf!

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. Just because they can't stop any doesn't mean they have to vote for any.

15. Despite his faults, Carson at least listened

Sometime. Hopefully he meet the people that his policies affect and improve their living conditions. We have government housing projects with busted elevators and moldy ceilings for years, I have little faith that Carson will change that for the better, but if he does kudos to him.

17. +1

[Bettie]

5. Yeah, that about covers it

I do not know how they can do this.

Once again, the party chooses playing nice with them versus working for us.

I don't think they're "keeping their powder dry" I think they've lost the damned powder and have no idea how to get more.

[SHRED]

7. I think it's a hustle

2 sides of a rotten coin based on recent events.

[Blue_true]

16. Yeah. They send out donation requests,

Then do nothing. We need to get people in office that are going to fight for democratic principles and not roll over to show Trump and republicans their soft underbelly.

[smirkymonkey]

13. Hear, hear!

I am sick to death of these spineless traitors.

[old guy]

8. Puleeeze!

We have to keep our powder dry. Didn't you get the memo?

[SHRED]

12. Sadly...LOL

[yallerdawg]

10. Rick Perry? Ben Carson? This is your cabinet?

"Be careful what you ask for - you just might get it."

The Democrats can't really stop these appointments. Republican intransigence got us to this simple majority consent. By mimicking them, we could make it worse.

Sometimes, all we have left is to help pick the worst Republican possible! And, boy, have these Republicans helped!

[SHRED]

11. Forcing Repubs to do this on their own

That would send a message to us the base that they have our backs and would put pressure on repubs to go it alone.

Plus when one if these fool cabinet picks breaks the law it can't be pinned on Dems in an election cycle.

I see no upside. No win in casting a single vote their way.

[yallerdawg]

18. Purge these impure Democrats?

Not one of these bad, bad senators represents me.

One of my senators is Jeff Sessions.

I'd take your senator in a heartbeat over the one I got!

[Talk Is Cheap]

19. For some reason, it's always Bernie's fault...

[SHRED]

20. No it's not

I'm just shocked he'd vote this way. Same with Warren.

[cry baby]

21. Like some have said, we're marching right past our leaders. nt
