Because they constantly tell lies.

Georgia too right? Biden offered federal assistance and the governor said no, then immediately turned around and said Biden isn't helping

Because some of us still think we can shame the Right into behaving

What else was in the bill?

*edit: 8 or 9 upvotes, downvotes, and no replies. Didn't realize I asked such a polarizing question. Some bills are totally crap. They'll be earmarked to hell. A bill could have "all animal shelters must be non kill" earmarked with "give isreal US nuclear arsenal and the OK to launch them" then when a party votes no on it, the other party screams out "those guys want to kill kittens and puppies!"

So I just wanted to know what else was in the bill.

Because Republicans keep saying shit that isn't accurate or even real.

Don't give it to them. They will just spend it on blackjack and hookers.

Wha...? Why would they...? Was there something else in the bill that they didn't like?

It would make the Biden administration look good

Also, projection. They would withhold funding for disasters in blue states, so obviously Democrats would do the same to red states.

Ever since 2008, bipartisianship is dead. The Right cannot pass any bills while the Left is in charge, because then people would start supporting the Left.

And the Right cannot pass any bills while the Right is in charge, because the Right is incompetent and worries about pronouns more than people not having places to live.

yeah, when you look close enough it's amazing how often that that answer is the only one, and how blatantly they do it.

they say democracy dies in the dark, but if like 10% more people actually watched cspan when major votes take place i don't think we'd keep many Republican politicians. it's an amazingly one sided effort to obstruct every single Democratic policy no matter what it is. they threw the toy over the fence, sat down, and started screaming and shitting like 10 years ago and nothing positive has gotten done since. they are literally the party of intentionally breaking the government.

there's no way that many Americans actually want that...

Idk If I was a pedophile I would have my head in the sand and never show my face again. Matt Gaetz is a thing that happened though I guess. ๐Ÿค”

Traitorous sexual predator.

They knew it would pass so they all got to pretend at being "fiscally responsible". I guarantee they'll go home to their districts and take credit for every penny doled out.
