Senator Chuck Schumer brought up an abortion bill that basically makes not only abortion available until the kid's like walking, but forces the states to pay for it, eliminates conscious clauses, all restrictions off, anything goes, put the baby in the crosshairs... they get 49 votes. Senator Joe Manchin joins the Republicans, they get 51. They have beaten it. So how is it portrayed in the media? "Republican filibuster blocks vote." No...they lost.
I don't know why Schumer would make the Democrats walk the plank on this thing. Most people are like, "Abortion? Ew. Don't want to think about it, don't want to talk about it." Normal people don't want anything to do with it. But, of course, Democrats aren't normal people. Democrats are now being run by the most extreme lunatics.
