no you dont. these people arent up for re-election so they took the fall so that others who were up for reelection wouldnt have to put their names/faces on it. The entire party is culpable.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.

they think you are so fucking stupid

I have come to believe this as well. The list is too strange. I don’t think a majority wanted to cave, but many more than the 8.

people when u calmly suggest their mommy wasnt a responsible parent

"how long do you continue fighting before realizing the situation will not change"

lol

i like that the premier "live life as a pokemon" sim also forces you to engage with oldschool dungeoncrawler mechanics, it weeds out the noncommited. Oh you want to wag your tail? work for it bitch. learn inventory managment

“The MSNBC liberals are saying things irl that will get you banned on Bluesky“ is one of the few silver linings of this current crop of failures.

Also in case its not being mentioned in your feed, there is still a remaining vote for this and Somehow they didn't anticipate the outrage, so there's apparently some hesitation now. If those were your senators, call them and don't stop. I will also be calling even though they arent mine

Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

"this hurts me more than it hurts you, but its for your own good" ass reasoning, further accentuating the everybodys-12-ness of the populace

Not a single Democrat who voted yes has even a 10% convincing explanation as to why. They’re all like “listen you don’t understand the senate, when we take this vote in 40 days the true Republican Party will be revealed and we’ll win” like wtf are you all talking about?

ok well. get fucked kim

reminder as our child sex trafficking ring masquerading as a govt makes your healthcare 5x more expensive that Russia has free healthcare

SJP, Indivisible, Gay Nerd Association, your local YIMBY sex club, environmentalist cult, the NIMBY sex club, your labor union's reform caucus, your un-unionized workplace's group chat; EWOC, Ewok gang, whatever. Fuck you. Get up.

Indivisible going from Nancy Pelosi fanclubs in 2017 to an actual Tea Party type opposition in 2026 would rule honestly, LFG

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

I strongly encourage you to contact you Dem senators (if you have them) & tell them this is your position (I just did):

When you've lost *checks notes again* Chris Cillizza

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

If you’ve historically been a “vote blue no matter who” type, it’d be cool if you could use this moment to understand why vilifying leftists who actually do think it matters is basically a psyop you accidentally fell for. This is why people warn you about guys like Newsom.

thats right

if you've followed me for at least a year you've already seen me post this but this quote from Fanon's Wretched Of The Earth became load bearing the day I read it and "the magic hands are finally only the hands of the people" gets another underscore tonight.

even when the democratic party has leverage and one of the craziest election swings the party intentionally self immolates it’s just so exhausting what is even the point of these people

they think you are so goddamned stupid

recession indicator

hehe :)

they think you are so fucking stupid

It wasn't working for the Republicans, and Mamdani won the election so it wasn't working for Centrists, so they sided with the Republicans, their natural ally.

they think you are so fucking stupid

they think you are so fucking stupid. they decided in a back room who would take the fall so the rest could larp as brave but doomed resistance fighters they think you can be distracted by jingling keys.

Carefully choreographed votes and angry press releases are all cute, but the indication of whether anyone in the caucus really cares is whether there’s any push for leadership changes or punitive action against the cavers. There won’t be, but that would be the theoretical sign this is different

they think you are so fucking stupid

yeah this is with leadership’s blessing and you’ll never convince me otherwise. the whip is a yes, the rest of the yes’s are retiring or 4-6 years out from a primary, this is trash.

These same bums will be asking us for cash at the next deadline; looking forward to sending this back to every Senate fundraising text

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

You don't hate these stupid demons nearly enough.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

:)

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Wild that there are exactly enough spineless fucking losers in Chuck Schumer's caucus to cave to the Republicans once again, exactly enough of them. That's wild. What a coincidence! I'm sure that's definitely not on purpose. Did you all know these people live in actual real homes around America?

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

You should call Chuck Schumer right now and say “I’m sorry this is happening to you sir I wish you a heads up penny”
