Like that's a self dunk. Why did Democrats vote with Republicans? Why weren't they instantly executed? Why were such opportunists allowed in the party?

The Democrat party is the only party in existence that cannot whip votes or discipline its members.

They’re more than willing to put pressure on the left leaning members, and work against their reelection. They just won’t do it to anyone who’s pushing for neoliberalism or for achieving anything they use to get elected. Manchin basically ran the party for a while and now he’s a republican.

It did take the Republicans like 15 times to even name a Speaker, which was hilarious lol.
