If the shoe were on the other foot, we’d be shutting the fuck down to own the libs
When do we do things to “Own the Cons” ?
Just to be clear the bill needs 60 votes to pass. 53 republicans, Schumer makes 54. Still need another 6 dems to flip.
And to nobodies surprise the Dems rolled over and handed another victory to the fascists they spent all last year telling us would deliver the end of American democracy.
10 dems flipped. I was on the fence on Fetterman. He was incredibly disappointing but I chalked it up to him representing a conservative area. He is Sinema all over again and a traitor to his constituents and the country along with the other 9 traitors.
I am so fucking tired of this same shit over and over again. when will we at least have some douchebags in government with some sort of fortitude?
A couple briefcases full of cash goe a long way. Dems gotta wet their beaks too. Go capitalist kleptocracy!
All of these ancient corrupt fucks have got to go.
No one over 65 should be “leading” the country; their time is over, they’re no longer going-concerns. All they have left is selfishness and punching downward.
They all need to go.
America has been sold to the oligarchs. If the citizens want any sense of freedom they’re going to have to step up to the plate and take some swings at the oligarchs
If we are going into a Civil War scenario, I am glad it would be under Trump’s influence. I don’t want my enemies to have a smart or iron-willed leader. Preferable for him to be charismatic, so that all the Magats follow him when he runs Fascist America off a cliff.
That is pretty much the only bronze lining to his purge of leaders, soldiers, and workers: They will end up working with the good guys, lending their skill and drive to our cause.
F#*K Chuck! I’m done with this nonsense!
So he folded like a wet piece of paper. Can’t say im surprised

Not even a day after this spinless asshole said they’d stand strong.
I guess all the endless calling our representatives just means fuck-all doesn’t it?
Protest if you can. If not, ask the groups what support you can offer with a list of skills such as logistics, spreadsheet, security, secure com, policing tactics, etc
Yeah, pretty much.
But here’s my final correspondence to my Democratic Senators
I want to share how absolutely disappointed I am with the Democratic party and how they are handling being the opposition party thus far especially with this latest round of budget bills that screw over the working families by cutting Medicaid/care. Not even one freaking day after after stating that Democrats would stand strong and not vote for this abomination of a bill, your leader goes and announces they’re going to vote for it.
This party has no spine, no convictions and won’t stand up to fascism and continues to roll over and vote for anything the Nazi-salute party shoves your way. I am absolutely sickened at this lack of leadership and standing up against these fascist and honestly, I don’t see a point in voting for Democrats moving forward when this is the lesser of two evils but then again, I’m sure leadership here will vote to remove our right to vote soon in the grandest gestures of capitulation so I guess there’s that.
I wouldn’t put that much effort into something that was going to be ignored and thrown away
Go on, centrists. How is this a Good Thing Actually?
“You see, by giving Republicans what they want, it actually shows how badly we needed progressives in the voting booths last November. Somehow us being evil makes them vote for us more.”
Appeasement. Cowards, the lot of them.
Jesus fucking Christ we need a working families party so bad in this country. Why isn’t Bernie, AOC or any other leader starting to coordinate such a thing?
AOC has been saying things according to MSM.
Bernie is he’s doing a coast to coast tour right now. He’s getting huge crowds
I really hope he’s in the recruitment phase for something.
Because it’s just not feasible without election reform. Over 99% of legislative offices (both state and federal) are held by either a Republican or a Democratic nominee. We’re on presidential election away from it being 60 years since a 3rd party presidential candidate received a single electoral vote. And Perot won just shy of 19% of the national popular vote in 1992. We need a progressive groups funding progressive primary challengers, and progressive voters turning up for them.

We need fair primaries.
Honestly, I think a civil war is going to be needed if America is ever going to be fixed. It would be nice if I am proven wrong, but things really don’t feel good right now. :P
Perhaps something like the velvet revolution. Divide the US into the Affiliated anti-fascist free states (West Coast, Illinois,Minnesota, the east coast south to VA or maybe NC. And the rest make up Jesus land. But make sure Jesusland doesn’t have any nukes because those god-botherers will use them to force their superstitions on others
Changing from first past the post to ranked choice voting would do a lot to break the duopoly. That both the Dems and the GOP are against it should tell you all you need to know
It seems like infiltrating progressives into the Democratic Party is the only way within the existing electoral systems to start turning things around. If there continues to be an electoral system - this should have happened years ago.

💯 But I don’t see that as something we can get pushed through without first taking over through the primaries. Of course, I keep forgetting that unlike Texas, other states have direct ballot initiatives that voters can do without their legislature. So if your state has that option then absolutely go that route!
It will be hard, but it’s not impossible. If you start organizing early you could get enough pissed off people. It would probably end up collapsing one of the parties in only one or two election cycles (likely Democrats) anyway.
We have a Working Families Party. Democrats sued to keep them off the ballot in swing states.
Huh? The WFP generally works within the Democratic party or in circumstances where they’re really competing with Republicans.
Doesn’t matter, they don’t want the general public to even consider the fact of voting for anything but the big two. They’d do it for the Libertarians too if Republicans didn’t support them.
And the powers that be are terrified of ranked preference voting systems to the extent they jam through laws forbidding the use of ranked choice voting.
They ran s different presidential candidate in my state last time.
The WFP doesn’t run presidential candidates.
That confused me and I had to look it up. You’re right, it was a different party.
Yippe! Even more spineless than we thought!
You stupid, rotten, useless cunts!
THEY ARE TERIFIED.
Why isn’t MSNBC on the vigil? Why isn’t CNN on the offensive? Why did the WP sell out its editorial column?
THEY ARE TERRIFIED.
You don’t even know how bad it is, because the commercial entities that the US has entrusted with their information are now looking out for themselves.
THERE’S A REASON THAT THE PRESS IS THE FOURTH COLUMN. and we get to see why in the worst way.
They need to be made to understand that they should be more afraid of us than the MAGAs.
as funny as it may sound, your reply alone helps us all.
what a failure.
