    Hmm… of the 25 senators to oppose the bill, all but one were Democrats.

    The one exception was Republican Mike Rounds of South Dakota, who’s always been opposed to any kind of environmental regulation and who has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the oil industry. I wonder why he flipped on this one?

    These old fart Dems are just as bad as republicans. Get them OUT!!! We need representatives actually representing the people. A revolution of the mind is needed in this country and these people are why.

    Clarification I think is needed. This was only a vote to move the bill forward, it has not been voted on to pass. This is the time to put the pressure on to Democrats to push for the items that the American people want, and push back on special interests (specifically oil companies).

    Getting this through cloture allows Democrats to publically debate and fight. Not doing so leaves it in the back room and obfuscates the Trump/MAGA agenda. The next hurdle is to get this out of debate - Senate procedure typically requires a 60-vote cloture vote to end debate on the bill itself before the final passage vote. The fillabuster gives Democrats a mechanism to keep this from going to vote that only needs a simple majority.

    Retaliation from the neoliberals. Getting in their scumfuckery before January was expected but still frustrating.

    What did people expect? Democrats are Republicans when it comes to corps getting money.
