he literally said "shame on them" I need trials

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?

They shut down the government for nothing. Literally nothing.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

Millions of Democratic voters on Tuesday: Fight these guys. Fight them. Senate Democrats: We heard you loud and clear and we will give in

I don’t think I’ll get over how this is probably the literal worst outcome possible from the shutdown, and it’s entirely from the Senate Democrats own choice

Vote them ALL *OUT*

"We have to agree to cancel midterm elections because people need paychecks." "We have to agree to the camps because people don't have paychecks." And if that's where we are, the political process is already a lost battle. That's why Democrats caving is bad.

maybe we just gotta make them as afraid of us as they supposedly are of MAGA

You can say I lost our “leverage.” You can say I have no “morals.” But what you can’t say is “Schumer sells sea shells by the sea shore.” It’s too hard. And it’s simply not true.

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

Democrats, coming off a historic national protest against fascism and a country-wide electoral sweep:

Just imagining the meeting where they must have been like “they might cancel my flight? Time to kill the sick.”

At this point, Dem Senators are a "the call is coming from inside the house" situation. This isn't trying to find compromise, or reaching across the aisle anymore. This is actively working for successes for the GOP. Masks completely off.

more and more people are saying socialism or barbarism

Listen I’m just a girl who has played a lot of Crusader Kings 3 but uhhh both parties couldn’t be doing a better job setting the stage for a peasant revolt/potential revolution if they TRIED

coming around to the idea that the political moment we're living through in america is that a bunch of rich freaks want slaves

Because they aren't working for who they say they are

Please remember that your Senator is neither your friend, nor your enemy. They work for you. Call them and give them clear input. And don’t be afraid to tell them you’ll be supporting their next primary challenger if they don’t show a spine. They work for you. Threaten to fire them if you have to.

Cancelling all air travel for the near future bc THE INCOMPETENCE is mind blowing and I’ll be damned if I let Sean The Real World: Boston Duffy to determine the safety of my air travel.

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line. Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding! Find them here: reps.fyi

no war but class war

he will never be forgiven for his crimes

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

Every day they tell the world how scared they are of dying, of fading into the darkness which inevitably consumes all of us They think they are Colossi straddling the world, but really, they are sad little boys whistling in the dark, self-radicalizing in group chats, and shitting bricks about aging

sometimes people are reticent to call their representatives because they don’t know what to say, and having a script can help. here’s a few you might consider: 1. “eat shit and die” 2. “fuck you i hate, i hope you die” 3. “die in a fire” 4. “[x] yourself” hope this helps! call your senators :)

Only the Democrats could watch a series of elections resoundingly go their way and then, less than a week later, loudly announce that they want to fold on the shutdown. Absolutely worthless party of cowards and hogs. Stupid, weak, useless.

Already run into kids who, when seeing my wildlife photos, exclaim 'that's AI'

There ya go. I love how our elected officials always get Lucy footballed by Republicans but the libs often get Lucy footballed by their own representatives. Stop falling for it. They're feckless turds.

They demand prayer in schools but forbid prayer outside of detention facilities

democrats strategy continues to be: “we give up! it’s almost our vacation!”

lol she got his ass and he knows it

just park the ferraris dude

I enjoy people saying free busses won’t actually matter in the grand scheme of things. It actually matters a great deal because if people realise some things can just be provided by the government it will make them ask “what else can and should be provided by the government?”

Always good when your brilliant future tech is deleting evidence of crimes

now that women have ruined the workplace we should just get rid of it

Leftists really have to prioritize public libraries in budget fights.

turns out I was right

This is actually the original definition of emotional labor, as defined by Arlie Hochschild, the sociologist who coined the term. It refers to the labor of performing emotions in order to do your job. It is not enough to just do your job, you have to put on a performance
