What in particular is bad about this bill?

The comment wasn't directed at the bill, but at Democrats. They can't even represent a united front against corruption and fascism, the former if which is represented by this bill. There are a litany of other votes where BNMW/ Blue dogs/ Blue MAGA crossed the line to censure Al Greene, confirm Trump nominees like Kristee Noem or Miller, I mean the list is a mile long.

The issue isn't just that these are TERRIBLE, indefensible votes for a democrat to have made, but also the huge damage it represent to our ability to retake power in mid terms or, if at all possible, in a 2028 presidential election.

With Democrats like this, why bother? That's the question voters are going to be faced with. It's the question neither Joe Biden or Kamala Harris could come up with an answer to.

Its far far more than just the damage and bloodletting they could be preventing with these votes. It's that they're setting themselves up to lose the next election as well.

That's where you're wrong. Democrats don't lose if fascists win, because they'll be working right alongside the nazis.
