    Why does it surprise you that democrats are voting for Trump picks? The democrats are barely to the left of republicans. You people need to stop seeing them as an opposition party, because they’ve literally come out and said they don’t want to be that.

      Kinda sorta. It took about two weeks of constituent pressure to get the Democrats to start behaving like an opposition party. So the early nominees got a lot of Democrats voting for them.

      So there were a lot of votes like this in the first week of February. At this point, the only Senate Democrat pulling this kind of stunt is Fetterman
