it’s important to understand that Nate Silver’s entire consciousness is filtered through the lens of being a gross nerd his entire life. the opportunity to feel like he’s one of the cool kids is something he can’t pass up, it’s load-bearing for his dork psyche.

the republicans, however, love it when blue voters focus their anger at the DSA and socialists in general for two reasons: 1. infighting always works in their favor 2. not blaming the democrats keeps weak democrats in office throwing a rant about the DSA right now is the definition of useful idiot

👀 Hakeem Jeffries defends Chuck Schumer, saying he "waged a valiant fight on behalf of the American people"

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands. Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame. Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump. Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

🚨BREAKING🚨 donald trump has died

this is a satisfying theory that might have some truth to it, but i think what happened here is a group of self-interested careerists got upset that it was inconvenient to ride a plane to vacation

schumer asked fetterman to cave and he thought schumer was telling him to go home. just a little morning humor for you ha ha. anyways fuck chuck schumer

it would be so cool if i could also do my job badly or not at all and still get paid

“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” -Ta-Nehisi Coates

The rewards are pouring in

Schumer and his friends want Trump to have power because they hate you. They are furious Mamdani won in a landslide and are afraid of repeats all over the country. Their solution is open capitulation to the far right.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

DONALD TRUMP: [asleep, drooling on long red tie] SENATE DEMOCRATS: fine, we give in

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

Shaheen's voicemail is full

Amazing moment in time right now where people who yelled at us for sticking to genocide as a red line are now also disgusted with Democrats and threatening not to vote for them. So your health insurance becoming more expensive was your red line?

Also, let the record show that these are the same Democrats y'all were defending earlier this year by mockingly calling their critics "do somethings"

getting harder to argue that the establishment democrats actually care about winning and accomplishing things, isn't it. in the sense of defeating the republicans and enacting the policies they run on, anyway

ok so now I understand why Shaheen and gang were so desperate to end the shutdown

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

What is the argument for voting for Democrats for harm reduction if the harm is not fucking reduced

Democrats had a majority in the House and Senate from 2021 to 2023. But remember, it's not like Biden could've waved a magic wand and do whatever he ran on.

Pretty poetic how Hillary's running mate pitched in to ruin everything

It wasn’t 8 democrats. It was all of them. Never forget this. They decided to sell you out because they want to go on vacation and don’t want their flights delayed. They don’t care if you die. They will never fight for you.

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

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

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN RO KHANNA SAYS SENATOR CHUCK SCHUMER IS “NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED,” CALLING FOR NEW LEADERSHIP IN THE SENATE.

This aged well

Imagine coming off an incredible Election Day mandate from coast to coast and going 'you know what voters want? to be completely sold out by a bunch of craven cowards too pathetic to hold the line against a bunch of fucking weirdos'

It's a real fun feeling to live in a two-party country where one side is like "food or healthcare, you decide" and the other side is sitting in their cuck chair going "slow down and make it hurt me".

No one is coming to save us

It’s crazy that a Democratic senator who represents Illinois could see everything this administration is doing in Chicago and its suburbs and vote to reopen the government. Like these should be the Senators demanding so much more than everyone else to reopen the government.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

No health care, no deal.

Schumer (74) is hiding behind Angus King (81), Jeanne Shaheen (78, retiring), and Maggie Hassan (67). New England's geriatrics are leading on bowing down to the Trump regime

Let me get this right… a sufficient number Senate Democrats appear to be willing to reopen government to alleviate air travel for upper & upper-middle income people at the expense of access to healthcare for lower income people. Yes?

yes senator they're roasting you on Bluesky, sir yes full roast sir, the communists, the wine moms, Bill Kristol, they're all roasting you, sir no, sir, I haven't seen him in Waiting for Godot, but he's roasting you, too, sir

Call them: Schumer (NY) 202 224-6542 Booker (NJ) 202 224-3224 King (ME) 202 224-5344 Hassan (NH) 202 224-3324 Durbin (IL) 202 224-2152 Ossoff (GA) 202 224-3521 Shaheen (NH) 202 224-2841 Gillibrand (NY) 202 224-4451 Masto (NV) 202 224-3542 Warner (VA) 202 224-2023 Fetterman (PA) No Point

I forgot the one seasoning packet had annatto in it, so please enjoy my orange clam chowder

I’ve said Chuck Schumer is a spineless coward in the pocket of the billionaires at best and a collaborator at worst. That piece of shit is a collaborator. Primary Every Democrat

yes and this is very Gen X, the middle age guy version of dennis miller referential "humor" where it's more reference than joke

it's hack to keep being amazed by this but i am? he's furious at the idea of our system, because he's never looked into it. he's just confused and mad. "so you're saying america can never impose tariffs????" he doesn't have the first clue what congress even is. he's an ape

it's even funnier because -genocide aside- the biden administration was more or less functioning with mundane competence. these jackasses are bobbling everything they aren't setting on fire (and bobbling things they have set on fire) while President Grandpa nods off and reminisces about Grocery ID

lol she got his ass and he knows it
