As President Donald Trump prepares to welcome the top investors in his meme coin to a private dinner, centrist Senate Democrats gave a different kind of gift to the crypto industry on Monday.

Two weeks after helping tank an earlier vote on the so-called stablecoin bill, a group of 16 Democrats voted with nearly every Republican to push the bill past a filibuster threat.

Democrats in office: "They can't do anything major, they have to abide by decorum and rules. ...Yes the rules are made up with zero consequence if they're broken, but we have to abide!"

Democrats when in minority: "They can't do anything, they don't have the votes."

Republicans in office: FULL EVIL ALL TIME

Republicans when in minority: GUMMING THE SYSTEM, SABOTAGE EVERYTHING

And most voters cant see this and think the Democrats are the good guys when they just approve of anything Republicans want, not even trying to meet halfway.
