So that comfortable 51 to 49 majority? Make that 50 to 49. But wait, King and Sanders have been independent for years, so maybe what's the big deal.

Why is it our side that seems to always get stuck with all these self important “bipartisanship” assholes?

Would have thought we’d have learned the “bipartisanship” lesson during the Obama years

There hasn’t been any in decades.

Chasing this chimera is a fools game

She was going to be reliably unreliable anyway so I don't see how much is changed by this.

Well they used to have people like McCain. But in general it's because 'our side' in this case means Democrats, who are centrist, which means do nothing, apologist bipartisanship is their whole deal.

The only bipartisanship that Republicans will respect is "I guess we can't complain if you go scorched-earth, since we have been doing it for 25 years. So we agree on scorched-earth-ism."

Everyday working Americans were left behind by you and your deciding vote not to raise the minimum wage. That was all on you and the people who paid you to vot against it

More “look at me” bullshit. And then nobody will care.

She waited until after Georgia reelected Warnock so not to create greater urgency in control of the Senate, not that she would try to weaken the party.

Yeah but King and Sanders are I because of genuine ideologies, not because of a compulsive need for attention like a popular teen ager.

She'll be sitting at the popular table in the GOP half of the cafeteria for a week, that's what she wanted and it's what she'll get.

So if Walker won, her plan was to continue fucking the Dems from within the party opposed to being truthful about where her interests lie. This seems right. Lonely and alone indeed.

Yeah but even Maverick, for all his bluster, really only torpedoed one main GOP objective in not overturning Obamacare.

What fringe are the Democrats catering to, Senator? Acknowledging everyone's humanity or trying to make sure that people can afford to go to the doctor? Radical anarchists right there.
