Ds are always soooo scared to take a vote. Some will consider voting for the reconciliation bill so they can't be attacked for voting against border/immigration content.

Rs never have that problem. They'll vote in ways that piss people off and just walk away. Lie about their votes even, if it serves a purpose. Or they'll say there was other stuff in the bill they couldn't vote for, or whatever. But they will do it and they don't suffer electoral harm for it.

Ds need some spine!!! It's Feb '25. There isn't a vote taken that will affect electoral prospects in Nov '26. Jeez!
