12. should have voted in a majority

Mon Nov 10, 2025, 01:50 PM

...this is what minority politics looks like.

Want a different scenario other than performative actions from a party without the ability to legislate on their own votes? Vote in a Democratic majority.

In the meantime, grousing about the political landscape and acting as if all politics stopped at that one vote in that one body is really short-sighted.

I mean wallowing in it while calling actual opposition efforts pigish makes no sense at all.
