The Republican-led Senate on Wednesday rejected the latest Democratic attempt to halt Donald Trump’s war in Iran, turning aside a resolution that would require the U.S. to withdraw forces from the conflict until Congress authorizes further action.
The 47-52 vote was the fourth time this year that the Senate has voted to cede its war powers to the president in a conflict that Democrats say is illegal and unjustified.
Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman was the only Democrat to vote against it. Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voted with Democrats.
Bourgeois democracy is designed to defend the interests of the bourgeoisie over other classes. This isn’t a flaw inherent to democracy, this is a flaw inherent to capitalism.
I agree with this, which probably explains the nuance lacking in the previous statement.
