How long till we learn American, United & Delta worked the phones on Senate Dems?

After their resounding victory in Tuesday’s elections, the Democrats had no choice but to surrender.

No he wasn't. That's not true. He was lying to put the boot in because he knew he could say any old shit, and the rules of engagement would mean everyone would have to take this incredibly seriously and probably go further.

Fuuucccckkkkk yooouuuuuuu

These politicians aren't in disarray. They fucking hate you. They don't work for you.

Retire, bitch.

Lots going on but from outside it seems that at least part of the calculus was that flight disruption for middle class and up travelers matters more than life disruption for untold numbers who’ll be deprived of health care.

Your tax dollars at work in Chicago yesterday

Do you know what changes a former conservative Republican turned centrist into a raging liberal? Shit like this.

Democrats put health care subsidies in the foreground while No Kings measures to restore power of the purse stayed in the background. They then got nothing on health care, while of course letting the background stuff go, except for some short-term RIF prohibtions designed to get Kaine's vote.

They got cute and used Senators not up for re-election next year or ones that were retiring for the surrender vote. So here's the metric we use instead: If you aren't pushing for a new Democratic leader in the Senate *immediately,* you're out on your ass.

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵

Cowards die many times before their deaths, The valiant never taste of death but once.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

I don’t know folks. We talk about getting the country back. But it can’t be given back to these people either.

congress sounds so cool i wish it was real

Considering Trump leads the GOP, really quite an achievement for the Democrats to be the dumbest party in DC

“We received promises of a vote. But the vote never came. It’s been weeks. We ate Fetterman. He sustained us for a while. The base is angry. They beat drums. Drums in the deep. They are coming.”

lol blue maga types are shilling for Schumer’s shit sandwich. of course.

I know some folks like to show respect for veteran politicians, but I’m done with that. Dick Durbin has been useless in a job that could’ve been held by someone who actually understood the fascist threat. If you’re not built for the fight, get out of the fight. But don’t throw us to the dogs.

DNC: We're going to fight to the very end to save healthcare for all Americans! GOP: Fine, nobody gets paid. DNC: No matter how bad it gets, we'll fight! GOP: Millions will starve. DNC: Do your worst, we won't give! GOP: We'll make your flights a bit late. DNC: We unconditionally surrender.

What is the point of a political party that will not fight for the people?

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

if democrats want to retain any amount of integrity they need to immediately vote out chuck schumer as party minority leader

"The negotiators argued that Republicans’ “flat refusal” to move on Democrats’ earlier proposals made clear that “this is the best possible offer we could secure.”" Noted position of leverage: Being INSANELY unpopular & refusing to feed people whilst cutting their ability to travel during holidays.

“Sorry, no money to donate, my insurance premiums *tripled*!”

please call your local dracula and tell them you dont support them feeding on your loved ones!

I wish on those Dems all of the pain, suffering, and fear they are ushering in for Americans.

"We shall give up on the beaches, we give up on the landing grounds, we shall give up in the fields and in the streets, we shall give up in the hills; we shall never not surrender!"

this is yet again proving my counterpoint i said earlier that him folding was in direct response to the electorate not voting for the centrists/moderates like cuomo because how do you look at the messaging that's been going on and the overwhelming mandate from tuesday and go "nah, fuck y'all, sorry"

Maybe Zohran Mamdani should have come out for ending the shutdown so Democratic Senators could have opposed it.

Trump just celebrated Schumer's cave by pardoning 75+ co-conspirators including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Chuck Schumer you are currently being obliterated by "Fox Trot"

Newsom is a bad person and I’ll leave that bubble empty before I vote for him, but if he spends all day on tv tomorrow calling Schumer a coward and it normalizes the call to primary him among lowish information democrats, godspeed.

Schumer would sell his soul to the devil for a box of Cheezits and a promise that Satan will totally think about torturing him less.

The eight Senate Democrats who caved tonight (including the indie who caucuses with them): Jeanne Shaheen Maggie Hassan Tim Kaine Jacky Rosen Catherine Cortez Masto Dick Durbin John Fetterman Angus King www.huffpost.com/entry/senate...

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them. I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

The reason why flight disruptions were the breaking point for Democrats is that they need to not be in DC as much as possible. They need to go home. They need to fundraise. They need to not do their job. Trump and the GOP have now learned that next time, they should start with flight disruptions.

When the Conservative Party in Korea declared martial law, the Korean Democrats knew if they didn’t send them to hell there would be no opposition afterwards. And look at them. They’re taking the ex conservative president and ensuring he never breathes free ever again.

the minute flights got canceled, Dems folded like a house of cards, leaving me to wonder why the fuck this post made some of you so angry

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Blame *all* Democratic incumbents for this surrender. Not just the ones voting for it. The others could have voted to remove Schumer long ago and install a leader capable of formulating a strategy and holding his people together. They were content to stay with a proven loser.

Democrats there, hearing that Donald Trump has hit a historic peak of being hated by the nation, and feeling a twinge of competitive instinct for the first time in years. "Hey," they wailed. "We can suck too."

Senators @kaine.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov and Angus King - you are quislings. Go fuck yourselves. Join MAGA, you fit there

we're done with rotating villain, either you guys shut this shit down or you're all getting primaried. every last one.

They could have kept it about football or something generic. And every other question was that. But then this question invited Trump to turn a football game into a Trump lie festival. We don’t want partisan politics & lies in an NFL broadcast booth, we want to watch a game. bsky.app/profile/atru...
