    Unpopular opinion: Republicans/Maga want to destroy the public sector. Why give the Republicans what they want? The dems stand for the public sector. Fight the Republicans but please use other means than shutting down a sector that is already under attack of Maga.

    Most of these Senators have a net worth of tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. They love Trump. He is cutting their taxes. (but not yours)

    Was this the swamp that needed draining?

    Jokes aside, I can’t see why a swamp would need draining beyond the needs of expanding suburban sprawl. Leave the wonderfully diverse ecosystems be, to flourish and rot in peace.

    I don’t care if it’s cloture or the actual bill itself…

    There should be zero Dems voting “yes” on any-fucking-thing these MAGAt bastards want.

    Blatant and complete obstruction is the only way to play this hand for the foreseeable future.

    Those Dems that do vote yes… 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕

      Cloture vote required 60 for passage, final passage is only a majority. Cloture is literally the only time the minority party can assert itself, and they just gave it up.

      The cloture vote required 60 senators. That was the only chance for Democrats to stop this bill. He (and the others) then voted no, so they could say he voted against the bill, but they knew damn well that only in the cloture vote they actually could stop it.

    This is why we need a real party of the left rather than fascists and fascist-lites. Because when push comes to shove the fascist-lites will always side with the fascists and betray the common man

      Agreed, the Dems are a lost cause and this is yet another time they’ve proven it.

    Jeanne Shaheen already announced that she’s not running for reelection…and she STILL voted for the CR. Not to mention that 4 of the other Dems are from the bluest of states.

    What fucking bullshit.

    But Fetterman just blasted the Dems for showing up at a fight with a casserole. How did he turn to then serving the casserole?

      It’s interesting that no one in the media talks about how Fetterman was one of the most progressive politicians, then he had a stroke and started taking the maga side on a lot of things.

      It tracks with a lot of other anecdotal evidence (e.g. Tila Tequila becoming a nazi after an aneurysm, some lady in a recent Channel 5 video said she became pro-Trump following a head injury in a car accident, a couple of people in my personal life, RFK Jr. obviously). I’m not saying all magas are brain damaged - there’s many different reasons I’m sure. But someone’s gotta at least start asking the question. There is at least this study which ties brain damage to religious fundamentalism, which isn’t exactly politics but it’s pretty darn close.

    I just contacted both my senators to thank them for their no votes and to encourage them both to work on removing Schumer from his minority leader position.

    When party stops representing the people it is time for the people to begin representing themselves.
