If the shoe were on the other foot, we’d be shutting the fuck down to own the libs
When do we do things to “Own the Cons” ?
Just to be clear the bill needs 60 votes to pass. 53 republicans, Schumer makes 54. Still need another 6 dems to flip.
And to nobodies surprise the Dems rolled over and handed another victory to the fascists they spent all last year telling us would deliver the end of American democracy.
I am so fucking tired of this same shit over and over again. when will we at least have some douchebags in government with some sort of fortitude?
A couple briefcases full of cash goe a long way. Dems gotta wet their beaks too. Go capitalist kleptocracy!
All of these ancient corrupt fucks have got to go.
No one over 65 should be “leading” the country; their time is over, they’re no longer going-concerns. All they have left is selfishness and punching downward.
They all need to go.
America has been sold to the oligarchs. If the citizens want any sense of freedom they’re going to have to step up to the plate and take some swings at the oligarchs
So he folded like a wet piece of paper. Can’t say im surprised
Holy fuck you feckless fascist-enabling imbecilic dipshit. Jesus tapdancing christ, you complete fucking wilted parsnip. Reach into your purse and find your balls, you unequivocal fucking cunt. What the actual fuck is wrong with you, you entirely indelible santorum stain.
I got a noise complaint from the screaming fit I had upon reading he regrettably has an inverted hyper-vagina instead of testicles. (It’s a terminal illness)
I immediately tried calling every single one of his offices just in case someone was there late.
I will be calling when they open tomorrow.
You stupid, rotten, useless cunts!
THEY ARE TERIFIED.
Why isn’t MSNBC on the vigil? Why isn’t CNN on the offensive? Why did the WP sell out its editorial column?
THEY ARE TERRIFIED.
You don’t even know how bad it is, because the commercial entities that the US has entrusted with their information are now looking out for themselves.
THERE’S A REASON THAT THE PRESS IS THE FOURTH COLUMN. and we get to see why in the worst way.
They need to be made to understand that they should be more afraid of us than the MAGAs.
as funny as it may sound, your reply alone helps us all.
Defeating Republicans with complete submission. Maybe they’ll wear matching colors to show they’re voting it in protest.
Yep.
The CR hands a lot of purse strings to trump directly, it’s cause and way more at the presidents discretion.
A shutdown is 100% the move here.
But Schumer is a neoliberap thru and thru. So he’s going to do what the money (and Israel) want. And that means bailing out trump.
We can’t fight fascism with neoliberalism, because both groups do whatever they can for the largest check.
It controlled opposition, and the only way either of them can win an election, is when they’re the only two options.
Does money want this?
Like really truly, I’m seeing fucking bloomberg and forbes come out against trump.
Psyop
They’ll hold little signs then put them away when their masters tell them to
Not the signs! Anything but the signs! /s
Oh you’ve seen nothing yet. They are also going to ANGRILY FURROW THEIR BROWS. Really I don’t know how the republicans can withstand such stiff opposition.
I heard they have black paddles and everything.
Appeasement. Cowards, the lot of them.
Call your senators, they can still block this despite Schumers push. This is not a done deal. The vote is tomorrow. If all republican vote for it, they need 7 dems. 8 with Rand Paul who has said he’ll vote no. (Republicans are not using reconciliation so it needs the the filibuster)
Many senate dems are publicly coming out against voting for cloture (meaning they won’t vote to let it get through the filibuster). As of what I last read, around 10 dems are thought to potentially vote to let it pass filibuster. Most of those are still not sure. We only need a handful more of those to become noes and it will get blocked. Some yeses have flipped to noes because of public pressure. We cannot let up now

Fetterman hears me.
Fetterman don’t care.
I donated to that fraud Fetterman. I am so ashamed and angry I let him fool me. He can fuck off forever now.
Fetterman is an asshole for sure, but he’s also inconsistent. He does sometimes vote the right way, and sometimes doesn’t. He is less pressurable than other dems, but it doesn’t mean he can’t be pressured at all. It is still worth calling him. If nothing else his staffers hearing those calls might talk to other dems about how widespread they are and help other dems flip
I already called the asshole and yelled at the intern.
It will do fuck all like it always does.
I’m never voting D again. Bunch of fucking assholes and useless nerds
Better to tell the cowards you will vote for and contribute to anyone opposing them in the primaries.
Good News!
If this passes, there won’t be another election!
Jesus fucking Christ we need a working families party so bad in this country. Why isn’t Bernie, AOC or any other leader starting to coordinate such a thing?
AOC has been saying things according to MSM.
We have a Working Families Party. Democrats sued to keep them off the ballot in swing states.
Huh? The WFP generally works within the Democratic party or in circumstances where they’re really competing with Republicans.
Doesn’t matter, they don’t want the general public to even consider the fact of voting for anything but the big two. They’d do it for the Libertarians too if Republicans didn’t support them.
And the powers that be are terrified of ranked preference voting systems to the extent they jam through laws forbidding the use of ranked choice voting.
They ran s different presidential candidate in my state last time.
The WFP doesn’t run presidential candidates.
That confused me and I had to look it up. You’re right, it was a different party.
Bernie is he’s doing a coast to coast tour right now. He’s getting huge crowds
I really hope he’s in the recruitment phase for something.
Because it’s just not feasible without election reform. Over 99% of legislative offices (both state and federal) are held by either a Republican or a Democratic nominee. We’re on presidential election away from it being 60 years since a 3rd party presidential candidate received a single electoral vote. And Perot won just shy of 19% of the national popular vote in 1992. We need a progressive groups funding progressive primary challengers, and progressive voters turning up for them.
Changing from first past the post to ranked choice voting would do a lot to break the duopoly. That both the Dems and the GOP are against it should tell you all you need to know
It seems like infiltrating progressives into the Democratic Party is the only way within the existing electoral systems to start turning things around. If there continues to be an electoral system - this should have happened years ago.
Changing from first past the post to ranked choice voting would do a lot to break the duopoly.
💯 But I don’t see that as something we can get pushed through without first taking over through the primaries. Of course, I keep forgetting that unlike Texas, other states have direct ballot initiatives that voters can do without their legislature. So if your state has that option then absolutely go that route!
Changing to ranked preference can be done by ballot initiatives
We need a progressive groups funding progressive primary challengers, and progressive voters turning up for them.
We need fair primaries.
Honestly, I think a civil war is going to be needed if America is ever going to be fixed. It would be nice if I am proven wrong, but things really don’t feel good right now. :P
Perhaps something like the velvet revolution. Divide the US into the Affiliated anti-fascist free states (West Coast, Illinois,Minnesota, the east coast south to VA or maybe NC. And the rest make up Jesus land. But make sure Jesusland doesn’t have any nukes because those god-botherers will use them to force their superstitions on others
It will be hard, but it’s not impossible. If you start organizing early you could get enough pissed off people. It would probably end up collapsing one of the parties in only one or two election cycles (likely Democrats) anyway.
Wow. Literally just heard this chode on NPR talking a big game followed by Tim Caine that it was going to be a hard “no”. So much for the “we stand united” against a fully packed R bill that never hit discussed with the Ds.
Absolutely fucking spineless. They have literally given up on even trying to look like they are against what is going on.
They were hoping the Republicans wouldn’t be able to pass a bill in the house.
So the thoughts and prayers approach
Yup
The only way murica comes back is with a revolution. No politicians give a fuck about anyone but themselves and their family. Glad im not murican
Its getting harder and harder to see how we get out of this without violence. The only question is what will touch it off.
Honestly? I see Republicans hit with SS and Medicare cuts going postal before our Democrat representatives bother to even try to be effective
I just hope they don’t blame AOC or something. Their anger should be directed at the traitors and cowards.
100%
At this point how many times do people need to get that Dems won’t fight for you even at their lowest popularity.
F#*K Chuck! I’m done with this nonsense!
