Didn't she vote against BIF? George II Dec 2021 #35

Yeah but it passed Polybius Dec 2021 #38

You don't think she would have voted against it, but you don't know either, right? George II Dec 2021 #69

Correct Polybius Dec 2021 #70

This argument is about as meaningless wellst0nev0ter Dec 2021 #55

Schumer's vote is entirely different than that vote in the House. Simple lesson on Senate procedure: George II Dec 2021 #57

If you need to write all that to explain your side wellst0nev0ter Dec 2021 #58

I'm not "explaining my side", I'm explaining how the Senate works. You said Schumer voted against... George II Dec 2021 #59

This is explaining distinctions without differences wellst0nev0ter Dec 2021 #60

No I'm not. Two entirely different chambers and two entirely different types/purposes of votes. George II Dec 2021 #61

And in the end, both parties voted against the things they support wellst0nev0ter Dec 2021 #62

Really? Tell me now, when did the Senate vote on BBB? I've been so busy I guess I missed that one. George II Dec 2021 #63

Don't you mean BIF? wellst0nev0ter Dec 2021 #64

No. You said "And in the end, both parties voted against the things they support".... George II Dec 2021 #65

We... were talking about how the Squad voted against BIF wellst0nev0ter Dec 2021 #66

That was part, but not all. George II Dec 2021 #67

Does AOC think not passing anything is better than passing 1.75T infrastructure bill AlexSFCA Dec 2021 #39

Apparently she's not the only one who thinks that. Its almost always a losing proposition. oldsoftie Dec 2021 #49

Well....it apparently it is actually all about the Benjamin's for Joe Manchin ashredux Dec 2021 #44
