- inferiorhuman 4y agoIt's very easy to vote for something you know won't pass. I've nothing civil to say about the republican party but the democrats absolutely dropped the ball here. The rank hypocrisy from Pete the choo choo secretary who had the benefit of months of paid family leave. The so-called squad who are all being curiously silent… It's pretty damning that the only politicians making noise about how awful this legislation is are the republicans looking to find a wedge issue and Bernie Sanders.
