Have you not been paying attention the last 6 years?

Everything the republicans blocked didn't happen in an up or down vote it was blocked by filibuster of the cloture vote.

The excuse for this is fucking ridiculous. If he wanted to vote against it the cloture vote was the time . His vote won't be anywhere near as effective in the regular vote.

Bernie isn't stupid he knows this damn well. He is counting on the electorate being stupid enough to buy his ridiculous notion that voting against it when it won't matter is some how more important than voting against it when there was actually a chance of stopping it.

It is complete nonsense and makes it very clear that Bernie is pretending to do something.

I couldn't be more disappointed.
