Taking your eye off the prize is a loser too. I'd much rather win House in midterms than bash Kirk and Dems Silent Type Sep 19 #14

We don't have to bash Kirk but we don't have to legitimize the bigot either dflprincess Sep 19 #20

Who said anything about bashing Kirk? fujiyamasan Sep 19 #55

2024 gave us Trump. We defeated Trump in 2020. bronxiteforever Sep 19 #19

If trump had lost in 2016, he wouldn't have been elected in 2024. But thanks for comment. Silent Type Sep 19 #30

The base is going to watch what we're doing right now, and use it as the basis for what we'll do in the future. Lancero Sunday #67

Not Unanimous MorbidButterflyTat Sep 19 #21

It was NOT "unanimous".. so the Cha Sep 19 #22

It was unanimous in the Senate LearnedHand Sep 19 #48

Did they vote? The Independents, too.. Sanders & Cha Sep 19 #49

"Driving the news: Republicans voted unanimously to pass the resolution." Cha Sep 19 #50

Scott asked for unanimous consent to proceed with consideration of the resolution. A quorum wasn't present. lapucelle Sunday #72

I'll be observing by: ananda Sep 19 #24

Well, let's just take Kirk Remembrance Day to actually remember who and what he was William Seger Sep 19 #25

A great day to celebrate Freedom of Speech! TommyT139 Sep 19 #33

By a year from November, when voting in the midterms... rubbersole Sep 19 #26

It's a resolution, not legislation. It's non-binding. Wiz Imp Sep 19 #29

If it's just a performative vote choie Sep 19 #41

I think there is some confusion here. There was a resolution in the house and one in the Senate. Quiet Em Sep 19 #43

Thanks Quiet Em choie Saturday #61

It appears that there was not a quorum on the Senate floor when Scott initially called for unanimous consent. lapucelle Sunday #62

As for the House resolution, Jamie Raskin voted YES and urged Democratic collegues to do the same. lapucelle Sunday #63

Thank you. betsuni Sunday #64

Although the original vote was a voice vote, Republican Andy Biggs made a motion for the roll to be called lapucelle Sunday #65

The House resolution honored Kirk and called for an end to all political violence. The Senate reolution was different. lapucelle Sunday #68

It can and will be weaponized against certain Democrats even though it is otherwise meaningless Wiz Imp Sep 19 #46

the party isn't a monolith bigtree Sep 19 #32

Why not a National Day of Remembrance... Woodycall Sep 19 #34

🥱 yawn. QueerDuck Sep 19 #35

A "no win" vote? choie Sep 19 #42

A vote for or against was a no win situation for Democrats.. QueerDuck Sep 19 #44

The resolution also called for an end to all political violence. Jamie Raskin recognized it as a trap. lapucelle Sunday #70

The Day of Remembrance resolution was separate from the main resolution Wiz Imp Sep 19 #36

It's a single day, not permanent Wiz Imp Sep 19 #39

Senate Democrats did not vote unanimously for the Republican's Charlie Kirk Day stunt Quiet Em Sep 19 #45

Thank you. It's politics. betsuni Sep 19 #53
