The moderates you support just reached a bipartisan agreement with Republicans to relax some of the Dodd-Frank banking regulations

This serves as a good example of how establishment politicians are pretty similar on economic issues

You've wrongly characterized people and issues before and so your word has no value. Specifics. Specifically, who? Specifically what?

"The agreement also proposes exempting banks with less than $10 billion in assets from the so-called Volcker Rule which bans banks from speculating in markets with their own capital - despised by lenders for its heavy compliance costs.

Industry expectations on a final deal had been muted because Senate Republicans need eight Democrats to support their efforts in order to pass changes to the post-crisis rules. The Senate bill, which is more limited in scope than the House’s original proposal, has nine Democratic co-sponsors, meaning it is likely to pass into law.

Senate Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo struck the deal with a group of moderate Democratic senators including Joe Donnelly, Heidi Heitkamp, Jon Tester and Mark Warner, who took over the discussions with Crapo after the committee’s ranking Democrat, Sherrod Brown, walked away from the talks last week.

They don't live in my state. They represent constituents in another state and I have nothing to do with them. Your posts have already said that they acted on their own when Democratic Congressional leadership ended negotiations with Crapo. If they are truly representing their state's interests, then it's up to their state's voters to decide whether or not to support them. I have nothing to do with them. Wyden, Merkley and DeFazio are the congressmen I support.

He'll back away from any responsibility, even while defending the entire Democratic establishment to the holy, then claim blindness when shown his hypocrisy.

Just another clown. These people support the the very thieves who stole their prosperity.

I'm beginning to think Stockholm syndrome is a prerequisite to Democratic Party membership.

I can't vote for or against them. Whether they serve or not is up to their state's voters not me. You've expressed this strange and false idea that the Democratic party is some national monolith before.

Right. Pay no attention to the DNC, or to the idea that party politics has been a thing for centuries.

Clown.

It's funny that you think I'm the clown in this exchange, pretty funny and delusional...very delusional.

So have you read the Senate bill yet? What particular points do you take issue with? Any youre neutral towards or see as a positive?

Or you still cruising headlines like a low information Russian influenced cuck?

Dodd-Frank is already a weak shadow of Glass-Steagal, and now it's being watered down with help from both sides of the aisle.

The defense budget- the largest in human history, yet somehow passed during a time of 'peace', also passed with bipartisan support.

And here you are, attempting to tell us that somehow the differences between the two parties actually amount to something.

I'm a Progressive because I don't want to give my support to any party that would support the above activities.

Throwing trivial bones at social causes doesn't change the fundamentals.

All your protestations don't add up to shit because they don't level the playing field.

You are using the same tactics as climate change deniers here.

8 Democrats, about 4% of all Democrats in the House support Republican changes to the Dodd Frank bill while 96% do not. Everybody else supporting it -- 248 Republicans are tearing down what Dodd-Frank put in place as a response to Bush era depredations. 4% does not equal 100%, no matter how hard you try to make it look so.

Maybe you should take a civics class.

I like my representatives, they vote pretty much according to my views and are good members of the Democratic party. I support them by giving them my vote and donate to their campaigns. Those other guys that Pad mentioned aren't my concern. I expect my representatives to work with them when they have common interests and oppose them when they don't.
