MODERATORS
What exactly should they be doing instead?
Doing anything when it matters like a couple of weeks ago. This is grandstanding and they will learn the wrong lesson. I get that we want something anything to hold on to but what it is this even accomplishing? Signaling they might do something? When? next time?
Booker wasn't on the committee so had no power to keep it from coming to vote. Schumer was. That was his failure.
The US isn't a parliamentary democracy. There's no coalition to be formed with other parties to go against Republicans. There are only two parties.
So what exactly do you want them to do?
the way our elections work is the coalitions form in the spring and the elections occur in the fall. at this point the only thing the dems can do with the cons holding all three centers of power is employ stalling tactics
