I'm not particularly bothered by the Democrats who were allowed to vote no on the debt ceiling bill.
Rep. Barbara Lee on Pod Save America said she would not have allowed a default to happen, but she wanted to make a point in her protest vote about the coming cuts in the deal falling disproportionately on black women. Her Oakland-Berkeley district won't have any problem with that.

The Democrats really need to get their message together.
Half of them are saying there are no real cuts at all and this is a tremendous success over the Republicans, and then you have people like this saying there are serious reasons to protest cuts coming on the back of black women.
Which is it? Did Biden pants the Republicans or did the legislation seriously harm the people?
The political spin is all over the place.
