Billionaires plan is now: it’s an IMMEDIATE THREAT IF VOTERS JOIN THE DEMS

the will do everything in their power (like this meme) to drive you away

Democrats cannot be trusted. They will betray everyone as we have just seen with the government closure vote

[-] protist@mander.xyz 31 points 1 month ago

How can you blame the entire party for the actions of a few? Most Democrats, establishment and otherwise, seem really upset by what those senators have done

[-] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 35 points 1 month ago

You don't think it's suspicious that the only ones that voted with conservatives were the ones that won't face retribution at the ballot box next year? That there's most likely several people that voted "no" that just wanted to save face?

[-] Soulg@ani.social 7 points 1 month ago

That's a problem with Schumer and Ossoff. Blaming this on all Democrats bereft of any evidence is the stupidest shit ever. It's like you people fucking WANT fascism

[-] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

I want both parties and all politicians dead and buried in unmarked graves. Fuck the lot of them for the shit they bipartisianly support.

Who among those who voted to pass this bill will be up for reelection and who won't?

[-] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 month ago

As far as the Democrats go, every single one that voted "yes" is not up for re-election. They will face no consequences for this.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

None of them are up for reelection until 2028 at the earliest. Two of them are retiring at the end of their current term. One of them is the minority whip. You know, party leadership.

Is specifically selected members of Congress that were not seeking the election so they can distance themselves from the entire vote, they can say, look what they did. We wanted nothing to do with it.

[-] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

You used exactly the right word: "seem"

[-] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

They'll send a sternly worded letter to other members of Congress

Because it's always just enough.

Most Democrats, establishment and otherwise, seem really upset by what those senators have done

You seem way more upset at anyone who suggests that politicians aren't being honest in the face of massive pushback.

I don't support the GOP, but the statement could be adjusted for them as well.

Only Sith deal in absolutes.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

They're arguing against absolutes, like that sithy quote itself.

billionaires fund democrats too lmao

the fact that so many people (and presumably you) think "voting for the lesser evil" is the end all be all of political engagement is perhaps one of the bourgeoisie’s greatest victories

[-] turdcollector69@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah it's fucking wild that people are defending neoliberals so hard as if neoliberals didn't just dick the whole shutdown.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
