Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked a bill to provide aid to Ukraine and Israel over a lack of border provisions in the measure. Senators voted 49-51, failing to reach the 60-vote threshold tha…
What if I told you that slime ball Matt Gaetz has already proposed this issue multiple times. Not sure how I feel about that but it’s the only sane thing I’ve heard from his side.
Because it would cause gridlock. That’s why Gaetz wants to do it. There are too many things to pass one at a time. There are not enough affirmative votes on most single issues to pass anything. You need the little extra things to pull in the politicians who would otherwise not vote for that one thing because their local base doesn’t want it.
Yeah I don’t really support that implementation. The single topic vote causes problems. Not every senator needs to be well informed on every single issue they vote for. That’s what committees are for. And what the rest of the party is for.
Don’t know a single thing about Matt Gaetz, and Google suggests I really wouldn’t care to :)
I’m a moderate, a (GASP!) Jordan Peterson type. Gaetz sounds partisan enough that I wouldn’t listen to him for more than about 15 seconds, but I gotta qualify that remark by saying I’m not really part of his opposition either, because not choosing a side is basically not a thing anymore and I do it anyway ;)
I’m registered as an independent, and am not a fan of how political parties lead people to bundle opinions together. However, if you insist on not “taking a side” in today’s political climate, you either aren’t paying attention or you’re in denial that you prefer the bad guys. If you don’t know anything about Matt Gaetz, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re the former.
This independent’s “side” for the foreseeable future is whoever has the highest likelihood of beating their Republican opponent.

I don’t think “moderate” means what you think it means.
