General Discussion

when their representatives throw them under the bus. Voting to suspend due process/habeas corpus undermines trust in the party. It's a contradiction. A lazy acquiescence to bigotry and gaslighting when taking a stand with your legislative vote, at least, against that should matter. It may be hard to make the argument that we shouldn't suspend due process because you're the wrong color or country of origin, but you would think that party leadership should rally a unanimous position in this regard.

This squishiness does not help us electorally. Women are getting assaulted, abducted, and gunned down in the streets -- some for taking a stand against the abuse, and others for just going about their day being brown. "IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER" how our representatives vote?! Seriously?

It absolutely does if they want to inspire support for their responsibility of representing the interests of their constituents, and not as expendable pawns because the press is being mean and biased against support of marginalized people.
