It's frankly incredible just how devoted the US Democratic party is to losing. They're so ridiculously ineffectual.
They are a manufactured opposition, and crucial to the success of the fascist coup. Americans should remember that when the civil war starts, and hold them accountable.
Ten years ago I would've called you a conspiracy theorist. Now however, I am in agreement. We need a new party for the working class because both parties are a bunch of filthy traitors.
They are paid to lose thanks to bribery (lobbying) being legal in the USA, go check who are their biggest donors.
Some guy in a young democrats group called me out for being stupid in 2005 when I held the position that lobbying was bullshit.
"Well how do you get your needs met and points heard?"
"Because it's their fucking job and if I have bribe them to do it, the whole system needs to be shut down"
"You just don't even understand what you don't understand"
"I think I understand enough to call it out as bullshit"
My YES vote is not an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR. My YES vote is [100 percent] about refusing to shut our government down. I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos. -Fedderman
For fuck sake man, have you looked around? Shutting down everything and nerfing this tool's ability to direct anyone to do anything would be less chaotic than it is right now.
You can't blame him. He is brain damaged. That's why he's conservative. He's the only DEI hire that should be removed.
alot of stroke often turn into a nutty right winger, or a nutty right winger christian. tila tequila, kevin sorbo, or had brain damage from other sources. i was watching a video of someone with schizophrenia and how he fell into the right wing/fundamentalism rabbit hole and said it was a very dangeorus mix.
fetterman was always a hack, i dont think he really cares about "working families" after his stroke.
She needs to run for NY Senator in 2028. Schumer and Gillibrand both voted yes.
Or President.
I want her and Walz to be on the ticket so fox news has an aneurism
And fuck it. We're appointing Obama to SCOTUS.
Both Michelle and Barack. Why not?
I want her to try, but DNC will never let it happen.
All the more reason to dismantle the DNC
I want her so bad as president, but I don't know that misogynists would let it happen. I think there's way more misogyny in this country that we expect.
source: I'm a guy, and when they're left to their own more than half the people I know are horrible to and about women.
It’s part of the class war that keeps us fighting amongst ourselves while the oligarch’s rob us blind
That would be great, but we’d still need two progressive Democrats to primary the NY Senate seats.
Letitia James and Juumane Williams. Need to replace gov Hochul as well but I can live with nation over state.
They knew they were going to get crapped on for this. I'm glad she's saying it, but Fetterman and Schumer don't give a shit you can believe that, and I see no reason to think the rest of them do either.
The are owned. They are responsible to what happens now. They are not for the people, they are for themselves.

Also https://democracy.io/ is good for US citizens who want to voice their opinions to their congressional reps.
Democrats are past cooked. I'm not sure it will.matter to primary these losers, I don't think Dems will ever win a majority ever again.
I can understand that some people become afraid of Nazis and bend the knee, but these people didn't even put up a fight.
I have been thinking about this and im no longer sure this was a bad move. With what trump is doing now in tearing apart the government. It can be fought in the courts. With a shutdown he would have cart blanche to furlough anyone he wants and keep paying his insiders and the courts could not say boo because shutdown. Further he could say all bad effects are because of the democrats because shutdown. At least now the courts can fight it and the bad effects are all from his poor decisions.
Federal courts can still operate after government shutdown. While most of their funding comes from the Congress, they have their reserve funds and others sources like fees from court document filings.
You're missing a fundamental truth here. They control the government. If they wanted to shut it down they could have done that. This bill was better for them than a straight up shut down.
There's also the other problem which is if someone needs your votes on a bill to pass it then you should be able to negotiate things into said bill before you vote for it. That's politics 101. Chuck Schumer has failed at the very fundamental aspect of politics here. He gave away his vote for nothing. Or as I suspect gave it away because he's okay with everything in the bill because it's what he wants as well.
If a shutdown is such a win for trump, why weren't republicans voting against cloture?
Why is she surprised? These Democrats are the people AOC endorsed.
It's right there in the article.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
That is what Democrats have always done. AOC endorsed these people. This is not a surprise to anyone who paid attention the last 20 years.
