Fetterman is livid right now that he's in the wrong chamber and thus couldn't twerk for the GOP too.

Two centrist Democrats, Reps. Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, took the unusual step Tuesday of rescuing GOP leaders’ own agenda in the face of a conservative rebellion.

Those Democrats backed a key GOP procedural vote that needed to succeed for Republicans to later bring several bills to the floor.

Marie Gluesenkamp is a moderate republican with a D label because the rest of the republicans went full MAGA

Fuck Jared Golden. He's one step away from being a John Fetterman. Thankfully, Golden realizes he's a worthless piece of shit and has decided to not seek reelection.

Imagine all those social media talking heads who kept saying "Blue no matter who"

How do they feel about their vote now?

Edit: apparently a few of them are here right now LMAO

They probably feel their vote was forced by a choice of two and unfortunately the blue wasn't that blue. But they wouldn't have changed it to red if they had known. In a two choice system where you get three choices (no vote being one) and two result in red, what do you want them to do exactly?

Golden and MGP might suck, but they both count towards a dem majority in the house and they both vote with the dems a hell of a lot more often than their GOP opponent would have had they won. So yeah, vote blue no matter who, because even these douchenozzles are better than the best Republicans.
