Snatching defeat from the brink of victory, Senate Democrats cave on government shutdown. I felt hopeful on Tuesday. Couldn't even give us a full week.

  2. Even Schumer was on board for holding their ground.

    These were the ones who chickened out:

    * Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois
    * Sen. Angus King of Maine
    * Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada
    * Sen. Jacky Rosen of Nevada
    * Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
    * Sen. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
    * Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
    * Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia

    They sold us out for a promised vote on healthcare in December.. one that will never pass the Republicans who already are on record voting for the healthcare cuts, so they wouldn’t care about voting against restoring them.

  3. How many times can they snatch defeat from the jaws of victory before we ask “do they even want to win”?

  5. So are we finally gonna vote these bastards out? Or just talk about it on Reddit?

  6. And this sealed it… I’m registering republican.

    I will vote with my conscience- but this dependable failure of democrats is worse than trump IMO. They stand by and clutch pearls.

    Waiting until after the elections to wimp out, as Malcom X pointed out, we were played as “chumps”.

    They aren’t competent stewards, just by standing next to idiots they seem like the better choice, and that’s just not good enough.

  7. No other political party in the world would allow this amount of fucking around and deliberate unfaithfulness.

  9. Right, because the way to deal with a bully is to back down. Always works, right?!

  11. What hope? They are too invested in corporate interests. It will never be “oh no, the average person is struggling, better take action.” Instead, it’s “Oh no, flights are cancelled and the rich people are squirming. Better capitulate”

  13. Stop voting for them too. Literally Republicans and democrats have failed us. There is like 8 good mixed bag of red and blue politicians right now, by good I mean doing politics, and fuck the rest

  14. They just needed to remind us that they don’t actually care about us and that the only things they’re good at is fundraising and losing.

  15. ChatGPT, what could I read that would make waking up on a Monday worse?

  18. Here comes Chuck Schumer and his strongly worded letters.
