That's not so bad.

Seriously? I guess I just have higher standards and expectations.

Honestly... last place among the Senatorial Democratic Caucus is really nothing to crow about. Of course it's bad. It's last place. We deserve better, especially from someone whose entire career is built on being "progressive". Right?

It's time to SUPPORT BIDEN and get things done! All-hands-on-deck!

I did browse the list of "votes" quickly but saved the link for later.

It's an interesting site.
