Some democrats were willing to sing with Al Green during the censure hearing. But even so, other Democrats voted to censure Green.
When the ones backing Green sang a protest song after censure there was a counter chorus of republicans demanding Johnson have them dragged them out by security immediately. But they kept singing.
The fascists crumpled and went to recess without motion.
Imagine not just listening to the fascists for once, FFS.
I definitely didn’t watch it for fear of hearing Trump’s voice, but it seemed like Al Green wouldn’t stop, which was why he was removed. Correct me if in wrong, cause I’m not going to watch it.
I mean yeah that was the point. He was calling out a dictatorial government for dismantling necessary government programs and institutions that tons of Americans rely on until they removed him from the room. Which is awesome! It's the kind of shit more Democrats should be doing.
Him getting removed isn't the problem, it was the fact that 10 cowards from his own party voted to censure him for it and a bunch of other Dems sat by and did nothing.
You can blame the ten Dems, but the others definitely took a risk during the censure hearing.
Lashing out indiscriminately doesn't help. It's a lot like "both parties are the same". Following politics takes work, unless you're just in it for the TikTok videos and short bursts of outrage.
Well the Republican party doesn't have 3rd way and centrist politicians who like to make any excuse to cooperate with the opposition.
3rd way politics is was got us into this mess, and at this point the people who still advocate for "bi-partisanship" are either incredibly stupid or just conservative plants.
