Thanks! I was just going to post that list Rhiannon12866 May 2022 #11

I need to see more info. Maybe there was a poison pill in it. Celerity May 2022 #12

That's what I'm wondering, too. The fact that that article had such a strange sentence in it pnwmom May 2022 #15

What did you find strange about it? I thought you meant it was strange so many Dems voted No on Celerity May 2022 #17

"Every single Democrat" voted against Bernie's bill EXCEPT Bernie pnwmom May 2022 #18

To be clearer, nearly 90% of the democrats in the senate bottomofthehill May 2022 #40

My bad, there were 5 democrats who did not vote so more like bottomofthehill May 2022 #41

12 % of the Dem Senatorial caucus voted for the motion (6 out of 50) Celerity May 2022 #49

Both answers can be right bottomofthehill May 2022 #53

No one ever said 'every single one' then boom, the end. Did you read the actual sentence? Celerity May 2022 #62

Wading through all this superfluous wording, are you objecting Nixie May 2022 #63

I wouldn't quibble over an acceptable use of the conjunction "but". lapucelle May 2022 #87

Yes, great catch, lapucelle! That pretty much nails it down Nixie May 2022 #88
