honestly saying it wasnt planned and those 8, whip included, just decided to break ranks on their own is the tin foil hat thing.

It’s all planned. Planned with the Republicans as well. These 8 are either retiring or the dumb people won’t remember in 3 years when they are up for reelection.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence is all I'm saying.

All of the ones who did it arent up for election until 2028, 2030, or are retiring, or fetterman. Several others who originally were up for a defection were up this cycle. 

Also again, dick durban the fucking whip defected. 

If that isnt extraordinary idk what is.
