all repubs voted for it.

16 dems voted for it. 33 dems/indies voted against it.

were all of those 33 dems/indies 'progressives'? exactly.

some of those 16 senators that voted for that bill also stopped republicans from ripping healthcare away from people wholesale. they also prevent repubs from bringing extreme right wing policies to the senate floor just by posing the threat of a filibuster.

politics isnt all or nothing.

bernie sanders voted against russia sanctions, mandatory labeling standards for gmo foods, capping interest rates on federal student loans, and potentially holding gun makers liable for mass shootings. should people stop voting for him too?
