Dems wanted to allow sick days in the bill, Republicans refused. Dems wanted to avoid a strike during the holidays more than put their neck out for the workers so they capitulated.

Literally 53 votes to allow sick days but failed in senate due to filibuster by Republicans

Dems may not be perfect, but Republicans are the problem. This isn't both sides.

Reading comprehension not your strong suit huh?

Dems could've rejected the bill sure. But then you have a rail strike during the holidays during unprecedented inflation. It was a lose-lose situation brought about only because Republicans refused to allow sick days.

The people of Ohio voted for Republicans. East Palestine in particular voted hard red. And Trump helped remove safety regulations. And republicans filibustered the sick days.

>They should have voted no and put pressure on republicans.

how does a crashing economy while Dems control the house and Presidency put pressure on Republicans?
