Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

Everyone in the caucus who is up for reelection needs to be primaried if this goes through and Schumer/Durbin/Klobuchar remain in their leadership positions.
The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

People don’t grasp that Trump is actually a poster. He’s the only president like this so far, it’s fascinating
Sometimes he just says shit because it will make a good post, he doesn’t mean it. Sometimes it still filters down into policy because he decides he believes it after it gets a lot of likes

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.
All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."
It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

An Ohio University professor was removed from teaching a MFA class a day after returning home from an Israeli prison where he was detained upon being illegally abducted from the flotilla.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.
