I thought we supported democrats here

129. Nice strawman there. You know I wasn't saying that.

Some actions, whether you like them or not, have no impact on what happens. Complaining about every little thing that ultimately has no impact accomplishes nothing. Even Bernie Sanders and the other most progressive Democrats know that you need to pick your battles and focus on things that actually have a chance to accomplish something.

For example, voting against every cabinet pick is pointless because most of them will get every single Republican vote. Focus on those who are truly dangerous where there is a chance that enough Republicans can be convinced to vote them down.

Democrats did that with Hegseth. Unfortunately he still passed, but he is the type that needs to be opposed at all costs. That should happen with Patel, Gabbard & Kennedy as well. It may or may not ultimately work, but these are the type of constructive actions that could make a difference.

Noem, as terrible as she is, was never going to get any Republicans voting against her. Hegseth did and Patel, Gabbard & Kennedy likely will.
