8 Senate Democrats Accepted The Thune Deal - Right?

I don’t consider Democrats as Traitors. Blame the Republicans for this mess. They are the traitors trying to take away our rights, healthcare and our very Democracy!

These 8 were chosen because they are not on the ballot in 2026.

My guess is other Democrats supported this deal who did not vote for it because they knew how we would react. We're pissed. these 8 think we'll forget by the time they are up for re-election.
