    The 10 Democrats who voted with Republicans to censure Green were: Ami Bera of California, Ed Case of Hawaii, Jim Costa of California, Laura Gillen of New York, Jim Himes of Connecticut, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Jared Moskowitz of Florida, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Tom Suozzi of New York.

    Democrats are absolutely fucking pathetic.

      Also the Democrats that are supporting this bill https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/119/hr633/cosponsors

      I see some overlap

      Here’s the list:

      • Dingell, Debbie D-MI6
      • Dean, Madeleine D-PA4
      • Plaskett, Stacey D-VI
      • Costa, Jim D-CA21
      • Lee, Susie D-NV3
      • Khanna, Ro D-CA17
      • Suozzi, Thomas D-NY3

      Edit: here’s EFF page about it https://act.eff.org/action/the-take-it-down-act-will-censor-legal-speech-without-helping-victims/

      Also contact your House rep (whether it is Democrat or Republican, yes they might ignore, but without you complaining it is much easier to do) to vote against it

        Here’s what I sent my rep:

        Congressman Panetta,

        As a constituent, I find the so-called “Take it Down” act terrifying especially in light of the President’s casual mention of personal use during his address to the joint meeting.

        I have not seen any indication on your position as yet, but please actively campaign against it, and pressure our close neighbors Ro Khanna and Jim Costa, who are on the record supporting it to withdraw their support.

        The only use this bill has for the authors is to limit freedom of speech and press.

      You’d have to be a head case to support this. It’s gonna costa lot of any remaining goodwill the Dems may have possessed because they’re acting like kaptured opposition. Trump is thoroughly owned by Moskownitwitz and should be shouted down at ami opportunity.

      I’m souzzi for the puns.

        204 democrats voted against it, 10 voted for, kind of grasping at straws to say every democrat in congress is complicit.

          somehow theres always just enough dems voting with them for the repubs to get their way. If the repubs need 10 dem votes they get 10. If they need 20, they get 20. Like magic.

            They actually need 0. If every Democrat is present and votes against then Republicans can miss one vote and still pass it. For example, the house budget bill which will gut medicaid passed by 1 vote with 0 Dems voting with the Republicans.

            I think it’s actually even worse now that Democrat Rep. Sylvester Turner has died. Now they can miss out on 2 Republican votes and still pass.

          Never said everyone was complicit, I said this move is going to cost them.
