Uh, no. 9 republicans decided to have a conscience for a change. They deserve the credit. Without republican help, the dems would have lost. Again.
Let's not be claiming victories we don't deserve.
Just thank all representatives who voted on this. Both Democrat and Republican.
What are you actually talking about? You want to give credit to the 9 Republicans that voted for it but not to the two hundred and thirteen Democrats that also did!? In the current political reality, this would have failed if all Republicans voted against it, that's true. But it also would have failed if as few as 8 Democrats did!
I'm an Independent, but this "both-sides"-ing is infuriating. It's literally having double-standards: people demonize and expect perfection from the Democratic party while the Republican one is literally disappearing people off the street, threatening allies, illegally firing people, and stealing money from our congressionally-approved public services to give to billionaires.
In reality, this was a rare bipartisan victory and should be treated as such.

Thank you, edited.
Yay after a million other counter examples they finally did a thing!!
Fucking embarassing. I know it is meant to give me faith, but it does not in the face of the pure shitshow that is 2025.
Neat.
