    Wasn’t tracking what was going on here but I think I’ve got it…

    So, implication here is that the party needed a fall guy, and this guy was it. Evidence by the fact that despite him cosponsoring the bill, he ultimately voted against it since he’s already on his way out. Gives the dems the cover to pretend like they were going to do something about it.

    Between this and the Polis bullshit, hard to believe otherwise.

        or at least a convenient scapegoat.

        I do think there are some decent dems left, but the establishment is as corrupt as the republicans.

          The decent ones will never be given any positions of influence or power to threaten the status quo

            Not by choice anyway. There is enough of us that we could force it, even just with our voice. Problem is, they have successfully gotten us to use those voices against each other instead of at the power structure.
