Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So name those Democrats instead of painting the whole party with the same brush as the Republicans
I never said all of them. You're way over reacting. The ones that are voting for the bills are easily found on the gov site that documents bills.
The comment you replied to literally says five or six of them.
Here's me naming and shaming them:

Notice it's not the entire party like you dumbly assume for some reason.
I can see how your first comment would be construed as if there was a way more significant number of them. While you don't call out a number or say most/all/whatever, its so general that it could be read as implying many of them. A quick edit could clear that up for others.
Which part of 5 or 6 is confusing you?
The number is 6. Is that even more confusing ? Was it because I wrote the words instead of the number? How few Democrats do you think are in the party?
^Incase you don't want to click on a simple link.
Dude. Tone it the fuck down.
I'm not the same person, I'm explaining your wording from your first comment could be misunderstood. Which, I will remind you, in its entirety:
So stop behaving like a dick please. At no point in THAT comment, which is what I said, did you say a number.
Learn how to read.
Hoooo boy.
Please actually read the comment you replied to, and what I quoted if your entire first comment again, then read up the chain. Then think about how you're commenting to people.
I don't need any followup comment after though, no interest. Just do it for yourself to recognize how youre acting.
You're an idiot.
