I always forget about Angus King... How does that dude always fly under the radar?

[-] Viskio_Neta_Kafo@lemm.ee 6 points 10 hours ago

I'm a Mainer and will be sure to call his office. It's so pathetic the Democrats and King dropped our only leverage for free. When it's the Republicans trump they always pull a stunt regarding funding the government.

[-] EUnicorn@feddit.nl 8 points 12 hours ago

Unpopular opinion: Republicans/Maga want to destroy the public sector. Why give the Republicans what they want? The dems stand for the public sector. Fight the Republicans but please use other means than shutting down a sector that is already under attack of Maga.

[-] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 hours ago

The Republicans control both houses. If they can't get a CR passed by themselves, they need to make significant compromises to pass a bipartisan bill, which they haven't done. That's basic politics and it's been the case for hundreds of years.

Acting like this is the Democrats fault is nonsense. If the government can't pay the bills the people of the country need to finally see the incompetence and disdain for the American people that this administration has.

As for the public sector workers, if you think this will save them you're completely mistaken. This buys them weeks or a couple of months at most. Maybe a government shut down will remind the people what public servants do for them so they can start opposing this butchery of the government.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 hours ago

The dems stand for the public sector.

Do they?

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 hours ago

If the Republicans wanted that they'd have done it.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 9 hours ago

Trump could have just vetoed the spending bill when it came to his desk. He didn't need the Democrats to bow he just wanted to see if they would.

[-] The_Caretaker@lemm.ee 19 points 15 hours ago

Most of these Senators have a net worth of tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. They love Trump. He is cutting their taxes. (but not yours)

[-] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 184 points 1 day ago

Traitors. Get rid of all of them.

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 17 points 22 hours ago

Primary everyone on this list.

[-] nomy@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago

This is exactly what the right wing has done over a couple decades and it's worked fine for them. People either lost their seats or got so scared of the constant opposition they fell in line.

I don't care if it's cloture or the actual bill itself...

There should be zero Dems voting "yes" on any-fucking-thing these MAGAt bastards want.

Blatant and complete obstruction is the only way to play this hand for the foreseeable future.

Those Dems that do vote yes... 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕

[-] marine_mustang@sh.itjust.works 73 points 23 hours ago

Cloture vote required 60 for passage, final passage is only a majority. Cloture is literally the only time the minority party can assert itself, and they just gave it up.

[-] takeda@lemm.ee 25 points 22 hours ago

The cloture vote required 60 senators. That was the only chance for Democrats to stop this bill. He (and the others) then voted no, so they could say he voted against the bill, but they knew damn well that only in the cloture vote they actually could stop it.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 8 points 15 hours ago

Schumer, the fuck dude?

[-] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 75 points 1 day ago

Jeanne Shaheen already announced that she's not running for reelection...and she STILL voted for the CR. Not to mention that 4 of the other Dems are from the bluest of states.

What fucking bullshit.

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 15 points 21 hours ago

Dick Durbin always seems to find a way to be on the wrong side. I have no idea why he keeps getting reelected.

[-] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

Doesn’t want to jeopardize her payday after her term ends.

[-] pomfegranate@sh.itjust.works 22 points 20 hours ago

Hawaii has been sucking recently

[-] CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 9 points 17 hours ago

They also gave us Tulsi Gabbard.

[-] oxysis@lemm.ee 33 points 22 hours ago

This is why we need a real party of the left rather than fascists and fascist-lites. Because when push comes to shove the fascist-lites will always side with the fascists and betray the common man

[-] crusa187@lemmy.ml 7 points 19 hours ago

Agreed, the Dems are a lost cause and this is yet another time they’ve proven it.

[-] eric5949@lemmy.world 62 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Cowards. All of them need to go

That's the last time I vote for Gary Peters. Good riddance. Fucking cowards!

[-] kikutwo@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago

But Fetterman just blasted the Dems for showing up at a fight with a casserole. How did he turn to then serving the casserole?

[-] rigatti@lemmy.world 45 points 1 day ago

His brain is casserole after the stroke.

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

Hey that's an insult to casserole

[-] rational_lib@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

It's interesting that no one in the media talks about how Fetterman was one of the most progressive politicians, then he had a stroke and started taking the maga side on a lot of things.

It tracks with a lot of other anecdotal evidence (e.g. Tila Tequila becoming a nazi after an aneurysm, some lady in a recent Channel 5 video said she became pro-Trump following a head injury in a car accident, a couple of people in my personal life, RFK Jr. obviously). I'm not saying all magas are brain damaged - there's many different reasons I'm sure. But someone's gotta at least start asking the question. There is at least this study which ties brain damage to religious fundamentalism, which isn't exactly politics but it's pretty darn close.

[-] kikutwo@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Yes, let's not forget the country has been taken over by religious zealots who believe in the rapture among other things.

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 18 points 1 day ago

Fetterman was either bought or blackmailed by AIPAC.

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 27 points 23 hours ago

Fetterman was always fake. The people in his hometown know. It's just that against an even worse fake he can still look okay

[-] takeda@lemm.ee 13 points 22 hours ago

Yeah, he or Dr Oz, that was really a shitty choice.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." The Tree of Liberty.

Full Letter.

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 20 points 22 hours ago

I don't know about various state laws, but if those states happen to have recall abilities, now would be the time to recall those senators.

[-] marine_mustang@sh.itjust.works 30 points 23 hours ago

I just contacted both my senators to thank them for their no votes and to encourage them both to work on removing Schumer from his minority leader position.

[-] lb_o@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

When party stops representing the people it is time for the people to begin representing themselves.

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 12 points 1 day ago

That time was around 50 years ago.

[-] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 19 points 23 hours ago

Holy shit did murica ever die with a whimper. Maybe not even a whimper, but I don't what's less

If you believe the Democratic leadership is truly against the Republican agenda, you are being duped. It’s all kayfabe. They’re all rich and corrupt, and they all stand to gain from this.

[-] L0rdMathias@sh.itjust.works 17 points 23 hours ago
  • Senate Minority Leader Cuck Schumer
  • Senator John Fondlesmen of Pennsylvania
  • Senator Catherine Cortez Molesto of Nevada
  • Senator Brian Shithispantz of Hawaii
  • Senator Dick Turbin of Illinois
  • Senator Kristen Gillybreath of New York
  • Senator Gay Penis of Michigan (TBH it's low hanging fruit; If he hasn't heard this one the he must have been grown in a lab as a fully fledged adult homunculus and never was a human child.)
  • Senator Maggie Hasbeen of New Hampshire
  • Senator Jeanne Smallpeen of New Hampshire
  • Senator Anus King of Maine, an independent who frequently caucuses with Democrats
[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago

Fuck all these assholes with a cheese grater.

[-] takeda@lemm.ee 12 points 22 hours ago

Seems like he did it, because he has a very important book tour https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/3/14/2310308/-Schumer-s-Book-Tour

And fighting for us would mess up his schedule.

Fucking scumbags

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 6 points 21 hours ago

And when they sabotage the primaries to keep their opponents from taking the nominations, you liberals will still vote for them because they're somehow a lesser evil despite fully cooperating with the greater evil.
