4. It seems that undue attention is being lavished on this Senator.

At the expense of the 99 other Senators and 435 other Representatives.

5. Opinions vary as to what constitutes "undue attention".

And I say this as one who supported Sanders in the primaries and then voted for the best candidate in the stolen election.

Who became a Democrat just long enough to run for President and then went back to being an Independent.

rhetorical question at a time when everyones ass is smoking about dt. Post the records? Wasn't aware that was something you had to ask to do. Don erdogan is burning the country down and we can all refight about GD (I) bernie for the 1000+ time. This OP is a good one to delete. We've all had to do it.

to post the voting records of a certain presidential nominee. Also the actions taken by that nominee's spouse. I've seen many OPs here holding Democratic legislators votes up for review and discussion.

Vetting is important, don't you think?

9. Gillibrand takes a shit ton of heat here for her requests for Franken to resign

Manchin takes a shit ton of heat here also, difference is that he claims to be conservative Dem.

I voted for Sanders in the CA primary, and have no issue with his votes being presented here. I also have no issue with people questioning his motives. He has a record and three votes are very telling. In fact his votes impact my decision and make me question his motives.

12. There isn't time to do such a thing.

In the short time I’ve been here I’ve seen specific Democrats called out for their votes or they were specifically discussed before a vote.

Who shit the bed this time?

13. Senator Bernie Sanders skipping the Russian Sanctions vote today.

2020 primary season is here, fasten your seatbelt, in 2016 it was pretty messy here.

I am no fan of Senator Sanders in the primary, but if he wins the nomination, I am all in behind him. The person that wins our primary is infinitely more qualified to lead a country that Trump is. So for me, voting for our party nominee is a no brainer.

14. I don't see how that missed vote wouldn't be discussed.

I’ve discussed it. It would be irresponsible to not discuss it.

A Sanders administration would be a breath of fresh air after our current shit show. Thankfully it looks like I’m going to have some great options in the primary.

15. Trump is really incompetent.

He took credit for the results of the hard decisions and hard work that President Obama did. Now that the Trump decisions are hitting full force, every thing is moving backwards.

If we avoid internal divisions and some of the Americans who actually did not vote in 2016 vote, our nominee will beat that incompetent, add in Millenias that were too young to vote in 2016 now having a vote gives our nominee even more support. The key is relentless execution by our nominee.
