The are owned. They are responsible to what happens now. They are not for the people, they are for themselves.

I honestly feel like they did it on purpose because they know the cuts are gonna hurt rural states more, which sucks if you're not heartless. But hey buyer beware.

She needs to run for NY Senator in 2028. Schumer and Gillibrand both voted yes.

I want her to try, but DNC will never let it happen.

That would be great, but we’d still need two progressive Democrats to primary the NY Senate seats.

It's frankly incredible just how devoted the US Democratic party is to losing. They're so ridiculously ineffectual.

They are a manufactured opposition, and crucial to the success of the fascist coup. Americans should remember that when the civil war starts, and hold them accountable.

yep, when i’m in the reeducation/reparenting camps, losing my ability to form new memories or access old ones, i’ll remember how the democrats betrayed their voters

My YES vote is not an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR. My YES vote is [100 percent] about refusing to shut our government down. I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos. -Fedderman

For fuck sake man, have you looked around? Shutting down everything and nerfing this tool's ability to direct anyone to do anything would be less chaotic than it is right now.

You can't blame him. He is brain damaged. That's why he's conservative. He's the only DEI hire that should be removed.

They knew they were going to get crapped on for this. I'm glad she's saying it, but Fetterman and Schumer don't give a shit you can believe that, and I see no reason to think the rest of them do either.
