No. It seems like the most mundane shit ever, honestly. When centrist Democrats don’t want to raise the minimum wage, they let the parliamentarian get in their way. When centrist Democrats don’t want to codify Roe or pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, they let the filibuster get in their way.
When centrist Democrats want to fund a genocide, all their mindless devotion to procedure and decorum is nowhere to be found.
If it were that simple, then the $14 billion aid bill to Israel would have already passed.
Instead it’s going nowhere, Israel has to actually pay the US for weapons, and they are getting less than 1% of what everyone expected.
