i mean if i was mccain id vote no just because im literally dying and its my last chance to go down in history as a maverick, whatever that means

if there's even an outside chance of him voting no, its that, not any sudden empathy he's developed

If McCain votes no it will be like a WWE heel (face?) turn. I don't think he will but it would be hilarious.

Hope is a lie. They are milking the drama because they are all Trump now. If McCain votes no it's only because Murkowski is caving to interior threats and voting yes.

McCain voting No and Murkowski voting Yes would be loving bananas and the exact sort of ending the hellworld timeline deserves

The hard truth is that the people who are going to benefit from single payer, the poor, are not the white middle class assholes that elected Trump. If we are going to push for that then those people are going to have to grow a humanity.

I would never expect anyone in this party to do the right thing for the right reasons.

Maybe... just maybe their bottomless hate can fuel one of them into doing the right thing entirely out of spite.

Hoping on spite and hatred to see us through. This is where we're at.
