These 15 people weren't even necessary to grant Trump unlimited power to shut down nonprofits, but they voted Yes anyway to give it a veneer of "bipartisanship". 15 more Democrats didn't show up or abstained.

so-far

Or more precisely, 15 that we know of since:

53 House Democrats supported this bill during the November 12th floor vote, in which it failed to get the 2/3rds majority needed to fast track it. All but 15 backed off, many under pressure from outraged constituents.

Dems as a party are beyond reform. But sure i'm down... let's introduce these 15 to pink floyds masterpiece first

Yes absolutely, most of the party was cheering this on quietly, but these are the ones who stuck their necks out for it

DWS voting yea

Dems will never win an election with types like her , James Carville, and Liz Cheney in the party.

Dems have far more to gain by letting them go to Trump and actually proposing and executing popular policies. It's such a good trade, why let these clowns stay? They are just a bunch of hateful snarky assholes.

Dems will NEVER win an election with them at the helm they just won't.
