    Everyone hates Rand Paul but he voted no on this, as did others on the left and the right. Fuck fascism and fuck left authoritarianism.

      Neoliberals are conservatives. Always have been. By all international standards, the Democrat party is a conservative party and the Republicans are a more conservative party. We don’t currently have a viable left/progressive party.

      The entirety of the left-of-center in the US is a handfull of progressives, at most.

      By international standards Biden is hard-right, Trump is far-right.

      This shit is full-on rightwing authoritarianism.

      Yeah, of my two reps (Utah), the one I dislike more voted no on this (Sen. Mike Lee), and the one I kinda like (Sen. Mitt Romney) voted yes. I’m not sure how to feel about this.
