We’re well past it meaning anything. These rebukes, reprimands, and censures are political theater. Fascists laugh when you use the rigged system against them.
Lets all hold our breath while we wait for something to actually happen because of this.
It’s a public repudiation in a way that is extraordinarily rare and highly symbolic. Nothing may change but shots have been fired across bows.

Fucking seriously…
“We’re” stuck in the same stupid fucking mindset the founding morons were where they relied on shame and integrity when designing our government…
We’re dealing with a party that only believes “might makes right” and we’re wagging our fingers at them as if they give a shit at all…
How they haven’t learned this lesson after 10 years of “OMG can you believe Trump did XXXXXX!” posts every single day I will never understand.
We’re well past it meaning anything. These rebukes, reprimands, and censures are political theater. Fascists laugh when you use the rigged system against them.
I still appreciate that its happening.
