If it’s only two democrats doesn’t that mean they voted against their party? This isn’t the Democratic Party. It’s a couple outliers.
This seems like another bad faith “both sides r same”.
Don’t forget that Gavin Newsom, the high profile Democratic governor of one of the most Democratic states, who definitely wants to be president in 2028, took the opportunity on his first podcast episode to invite on Charlie Kirk and say he was totally aligned with him on trans kids in sports. There is absolutely a set of Democrats who view defending trans rights as an annoyance that “loses them moderate voters.”
Only two may have had the gumption to do it, but your articles clearly show it is largely unpopular with Democratic representatives.
In the same vein: only a small minority of cops murder people of color, but it seems to be widely accepted by the rest of the department.
Bad apples and all that.
