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.”

      Null made his own instance after people blocked his accounts on other instances. So he could track people better when they report him, as PieFed lets admins stalk accounts.

      Sadly it’s all they ever have and their favorite way to be on the fediverse 😭

      Edit: if anyone is unsure if that’s all that null does please look into their comments in this entire post AND elsewhere. Nothing but a massive asshole/troll account

      How so? I literally answered their question after they refused to answer mine…

      Wouldn’t the person refusing to answer a simple question be the one clearly talking out of their ass?
