Congress passed a symbolic resolution on Tuesday to condemn socialism — a move that saw eight Democrats cross the aisle to back the GOP on the measure.

The vote, which has no actual effect on public policy, was swiftly mocked by observers on social media.

“Voting to condemn an economic system that doesn’t exist in our country, to protect the one which we live under that exploits the working class to benefit the obscenely wealthy,” wrote Melanie D’Arrigo, executive director of Campaign for New York Health. “This was Congress’ priority as 60% of Americans struggle to afford food, housing and healthcare. Embarrassing.”

      Your point was that answering a question directly means talking out of your ass?

      That’s a weird point to make, and I’m not sure how I proved it, but okay…

        All you showed is you continue to have nothing to contribute, attack others and only pull things out your ass.

        And considering you’re now replying to someone not in your threads blocked by everyone else
