Shoulda voted Democrat.

It's worth noting that Biden also opposed the deal.

Why is it worth noting? Was Biden running for re-election?

It's worth noting the union also opposed this deal.

Why? So Harris could have blocked the deal instead?

You raise an excellent point.

Clearly, the wisest course of action was to vote for the pathological liar.

Literally no other option but to vote for a monster.

Thankfully safe from the wrath of Kamala Harris.

Nice.
