Whew, and at first I thought the US might have a problem, but good ol' Chuck stepped in to save the day. Back to work, everyone, democracy has been saved.

I read https://spectrejournal.com/chuck-schumer-in-america-a-warning/ today because it was posted on Lemmy, good stuff, I can recommend it

Congratulations, dipshit [Schumer, not OP], you've done something perfectly counterproductive by (a) making it sound like (presumably) something that's less of a blatant Orwellian farce that turned people against it just because of the name, and (b) creating confusion that makes it harder to organize against it because now there are two different names out there.

Not only is it real, I saw a video that his team cut together of the moment like it was a damn Play of the Game highlight of him "owning" the Republicans. Words cannot express the depths of my hatred for Democratic leadership at this moment. This bill is going to be one of if not the most catastrophic pieces of legislation ever passed and THIS is all their so-called "resistance" amounts to?

I hate them and their strategy of "Do nothing, give the Republicans enough rope to hang themselves, then make it the responsibility of the voters to get rid of them so they don't have to promise anything or stand for anything." They gave 'em though rope alright, except they're not hanging themselves, they're diving off a cliff and the rope is tied around our waists too.

I’ve voted against him every time he’s had a primary challenger for the last 26 years. Maybe we’ll finally get more people to show up in 2028. I’m sick of retirees picking my Senators.

ROFL Democrats are pretty useless these days...I've been calling my representatives, sending letters, and generally being more politically involved to make sure this terrible reconciliation bill dies in a fire. I hope to oust the republicans who represent Kansas too. They are so cursed and incompetent, spineless and weak in the face of donor daddies telling them what to do.
