As Rep Crocket points out, only 2 of the 58 Dems who voted "NO" on the Charlie Kirk resolution are white (Molten-MA, Quigley-IL) & CBC condemned the resolution.
The Dem Base is Black women, Black men, & broadly people of color—and the majority of Democrats ignored them to honor a known racist, xenophobe, & misogynist. Smh.
This is not a winning strategy. It’s a base alienation strategy.

The Democratic Party’s goal (ineffective as it may be) seems to be to usurp the Republican Party as the party of choice for the affluent while gatekeeping progressives and the working class from ever achieving any power.
@QasimRashid the Democrats are the Republicans too.
@QasimRashid I’m sorry to inform you that Dem base is no longer there.
@QasimRashid REPLACE CAPITALIST DEMOCRATS WITH SOCIALISTS!!!
@QasimRashid you are part of the problem.
@QasimRashid
Based on the Congress.gov record for HRes 719, it was announced as passed on a voice vote by Mike Johnson, and Rep. Biggs (R-AZ, to my surprise) called for a count, and further proceedings were then postponed to a future time. Has any further action been taken?
Very disappointed that my Congresswoman, #SpeakerEmerita #NancyPelosi, apparently did not vote on this. Would have been a wonderful opportunity for someone of her stature to offer a resolution condemning political violence, while expressly refusing to endorse the lies in the GOP resolution. Wouldn't have passed, of course - but it is an important statement to make.

@QasimRashid the diseased mind centrist gerontocrats will kill us, I keep repeating, hoping it will be heeded.
It's time to let the white old guys GO.
Only PROGRESSIVE, YOUNG, FIERCE, UNCOMPROMISING leadership will save the democrats.
IF they want to be saved, even. The Schummers and Pelosis are fine playing victim and collecting billionaire donors funds, scamming individual donors...
