Democrats using identity issues to leverage pro-business legislation is the cultural, social, and economic spoil of our time. But worse is it won’t be stopped any time soon. Neoliberal Democrats are officially addicted to the cheap and easy returns on identity politics, just as republicans have been for decades. It’s gonna be long downhill road ahead.


   It passed 8-0 with all democrats on the committee voting alongside republicans.
"alongside republicans (sic)" is false. Actual vote was 8-2, with the only opposition being Republicans.

Of the 8 yea votes, 7 were Democrats.


This is what bothered me about the whole Net Neutrality debate -- you had to be 100% in the camp of the Democratic party or you were wrong completely. Here we see why there are shades of grey for party affiliation.


And you thought the democrats were for the people LOL!


This is amazing. Such blatant and open corruption, i love it. And nobody will give a thing about it in the end.

Also, really amazing that one person can just cross out a lot of things their sponsor doesn't like in a proposal and hey, that's the new proposal. Excellent system you got there America.
