    Looks like the parties aren’t actually as different as you claimed earlier @pingveno@lemmy.ml. It’s also deeply ironic that almost all the Democrat congresscritters voted FOR the strikebusting but only a minority of Republicans did so:

      I wonder why all those republicans voted nay.

        Yeah, maybe just being contrarian knowing that the bill will pass anyways.

          Does it need 2/3 or just a majority to pass?

            Just a majority in the house

      Are you really so naive as to think those Republicans wouldn’t be champing at the bit to strikebust if it was a Republican in the White House, but minus any desire to give concessions to workers?

        Nah, I’m just not naive enough to think that democrats are any different.
