Time to get busy supporting your favorite third party candidate.
Or primary them, steal their D
I don't think Democrat leadership has a dick. Or a vage. They lack hardness, depth, and warmth.
They are the Barbie dolls of the political world, and have become the Turdpublican's playthings.
Not sure how to feel about this, people were going hungry and planes were being stopped. Yes there is nothing stopping the GOP from doing this again, but it's mostly a charade already - they could have abolished the filibuster and got what they wanted anyways.
The Dems have this attitude that if the people suffer enough they will learn they were wrong for not voting for them, but it feels like ground hog's day with that strategy because misinformed people always learn the wrong lesson. At the end of the day it's more important for our leaders to do good than to prove they were right.
Edit: It seems food stamps were back on, so now I'm just pissed they wasted everyone's time and energy.
"Doing good" means fighting back against the fascists, not rolling over and giving them everything they want just because they threatened to hurt innocent people. That's all the more reason to fight.
I stg, are liberals really just that bad at negotiations? You can't apply this extremely short term, base utilitarianism approach to the real world, it's just fundamentally wrong.
I emailed mine last week, begging them to hold the line. As usual, spineless fucking cowards.
Saw this coming from a mile away.
Well fuck me, I was 2 miles away and saw this coming
Good! That way in the Midterms Voters can Remember that Democrats ~~SHUTDOWN the Government and Forced us into INTENSE Hardship for LITERALLY no Reason~~ ended the Shutdown!
~~Both VA senators saw the statewide sweep and thought to themselves, ‘nope can’t have that.’ What a rug pull.~~
Edit: I thought the list at the top was definitive, Mark Warner has come out Against the bill, although that’s probably only because they agreed he gets to sit out since he’s up for re-election next year.
