Despite his “no” vote, the Senate deal to reopen the government bears Schumer’s fingerprints
Either Schumer no longer has effective control over own his caucus, or he has permitted the deal to progress with a wink and a nod behind the scenes — and with a strident disavowal for the bank of cameras he famously loves — while taking Democratic voters for fools.
The blame was on the Republicans until Schumer decided to be a Nazi
Solely on
Democrats are honestly a bunch of fucking pussies at this point.
There’s a literal fascist authoritarian wannabe in charge and where’s the resistance? Christ, MTG is being more critical of Trump than they are.
It’s not cowardice, its calculated evil.
Resistance should be grassroots organized, please don’t rely on the Democrats (or any political party) for that.
Anyone quoting Joe Hill is all right by me.
Why not both?
We’re organizing locally, and won the last set of elections. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still expect resistance on the national level when there was an overwhelming victory in the last slate of elections.
“At this point” implies there were not pussies at some point. The Democrats have always been cowards.
People keep forgetting it’s not left v right, it’s rich v poor. Democrat leaders are just playing their part.
People always talked about age limits for elected office, I think the same holds true for wealth. You / your family worth $$$M/B no more government service for you. It will never happen, nice to dream I guess.
It is left vs right. To left is to be anti rich. To be right is to be pro rich.
Exactly. The American 2-party system is between right and alt-right.
I n hope trump actually goes through with putting these animals in concentration camps and they get fucking left there. Pig fucki g shit bags.
Get rid of his weak Nazi appeasing ass…40 days for nothing
It’s so fricking infuriating because, literally we were actually seeing the cracks form. Trump admin is violating the hatch act, pushing “dem’s have shut down the government”, and yet poll after poll shows the american people put the blame on the republicans. Trump was constantly boo’d to his face at the commanders game… and the democrats had an amazing election where they won every contest they were in. I can’t fathom a worse time to fold

That’s your answer right there: the moment the election was over, they went back to screwing over the voters on behalf of their owner donors.
If the election had been a week from now, they’d have caved by Thanksgiving at the latest.
Now, Roginsky is “thoroughly disgusted,” she said. “I don’t understand why they would subject people to hunger and to layoffs and to flight delays and to missed paychecks for the past 40 days, if only to get nothing out of it now.”
…
Schumer, who was the target of near-universal vitriol among Democrats in March when he backed down in a budget battle that threatened to evolve into a shutdown, was quick to announce his opposition to the deal and he voted against it Monday night.
But in fact, his fingerprints are all over it.
Get rid of this useless piece of shit, Schumer needs to be in a nursing home.
needs to be in a nursing home
Specifically, in the medicaid wing of a nursing home.
Take the other traitor fucks there with him.
I hope we’re talking about an underfunded nursing home or something , because these traitorous pieces of shit don’t deserve basic decency. you have to give that to receive it.
His whip voted yes. Either he can’t even control his whip, or he orchestrated it.
It’s the latter. Just magically the 8 that are retiring or aren’t up for reelection just manically all got together at the same time to do this? Right…
I mean, it isn’t magic. They also had more pressure because of snap running out. Also, some of them, like Fetterman, always voted against the shutdown.
Yeah, fuck Fetterman
What a collasal disappointment he has been.
Yep. And either way, he has to go.
Every single elected democrat should be primaried from the left in 2028, full stop.
The leftists candidates are no longer the spoilers. The Democrats are spoiling it for leftists. The center is just gone.
“Every single” is the kind of lazy shit that gets us into this mess. It’s going to take more thought than that.
8 democrats are not the entire party. The party is made up of individuals.
- Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia
- Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois
- Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
- Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
- Senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
- Senator Angus King of Maine
- Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada
- Senator Jacky Rosen of Nevada
You know Schumer was directing them, right?
Don’t care.
What a stupid thing to say. Bernie? AOC?
you could have at least bothered to name two Democrats if you’re trying for an example.
While I agree the Senate needs a new minority leader, does any congressional party leader truly control their caucus? Even Republicans can’t stop members of their caucus from voting differently. It wouldn’t be a democracy if they could.
Does anyone know the strategy or play for doing this? I mean, this seams super weak on the surface. I do know that the timing or the next negotiations would be advantageous, but geesh, that the best they got?
Elections are over. That was the stop gap. Now they have to reopen so people can get paid to go shopping for holiday season.
Ding ding fucking ding.
They did to the people suffering the shutdown what tRump did to the people who voted for him. Told them what they wanted to hear, that he was gonna help them, got their vote, then walked away. We were ready to help weather the storm for our communities over the holidays. All the dems had to do was keep the message unified and refuse to budge until they put back what they removed. Heaven forbid these rich fucks, who share the same airspace as us normies, potentially miss flights and their rich donors lose profits over the busiest travel period of the year.
Honestly, this would be the time for a general strike. We already did the legwork to help provide for those who would have gone without SNAP. Lots in my area set up little pantries at work, donated supplies to places catering to underprivileged families, and were ready to help neighbors over the holidays. None of that disappeared this week. I personally plan to refuse holiday shopping and continue giving what I can to food banks and local childcare facilities.
Unfortunately, we’re too disorganized and too many are forced to live a tightrope between poverty and wage-slavery to really see this on a grand scale. Still, I’ll be the change I want to see and not begrudge those without the means to do the same. Despite the govt. and their rich-cuck donors, we only really have us and our communities to rely on.
This is a really good question and ive not heard a good answer.
Even schumer’s stooges didn’t really seem to know why they were doing it. ‘It was the only deal’ or ‘it had gone on too long’ are both non-answers.
There isn’t really a good answer. They had the leverage (finally) and could have compelled something useful.
They get off on losing. I suspect some of them are beating off right now–the human suffering they have enabled must be intoxicating.
Chuck Schumer should run as Gavin Newsom’s vice president.
That would be a good choice - schumer is the only dem who could make newsom look principled by comparison.
This is Fetterman erasure.
They can send the checks to one address that way. streamLINING.
hahaha yesss
That was the plan all along.
