[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 97530, member: 35"] Jones won't be a member of the Senate in time to vote on the GOP tax bill this week. However, he said he's "not sure" how he would vote on it if given the chance. He said he would have to read it first, but considering he's [I]for[/I] cutting taxes for corporations, I have a good idea where his vote would land. Elizabeth Warren and even Bernie Sanders see Jones's win as a victory for Democrats, but Jones is clearly an establishment tool. He narrowly beat an alleged pedophile, but he's your typical shitty corporatist Republican posing as a Democrat. I remember getting into a debate with SueEllenRules! months ago about the conservatism of Dems like Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp. I was pointing out how they voted for the majority of Trump's nominees, and how I felt it was pointless to have conservative Democrats like them in Congress. SER!'s response was "What the hell good is principle without power?" Honestly, I'm still stunned by that response. I'll never understand how the DNC manipulated half of their base into shitting on principles and progressives. Some Dems believe the goal should be having Democrats in Congress at any cost, but shouldn't the goal be Democrats that [I]don't[/I] do the bidding of the Republicans? [/QUOTE]
