Holy fuck you feckless fascist-enabling imbecilic dipshit. Jesus tapdancing christ, you complete fucking wilted parsnip. Reach into your purse and find your balls, you unequivocal fucking cunt. What the actual fuck is wrong with you, you entirely indelible santorum stain.
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?
And people have the gall to shame people who stayed home and refused to vote for Kamala.
(Note, I voted for Kamala. You have to point that out or liberals shit themselves.)
We need to let the Democratic Party die completely. They are captured opposition.
Liberals pretend that it was democracy vs. fascism on the ballot in 2024. It wasn't. Democracy wasn't on the ballot. What was on the ballot were two choices:
Fascism in 2024.
Fascism in 2028.
Those were the only two choices. Just like Democrats now, Kamala and friends would not have made any meaningful change. They would have just coasted, sitting on their asses, doing nothing until Trump or someone worse rode into office in 2028.
Democrats didn't even bother preparing for Project 2025, even though they had the whole thing detailed in advance.
If Democrats aren't going to use what power they have while out of office, they don't deserve to be put into office.
We need a new party, a popular front that will start by crushing the Democrats and then move on to crush MAGA. We cannot kill MAGA until we first kill the corporate Democrats. They're a captured opposition that sucks all the oxygen out of the room and prevents any real good from happening. In many ways, they are worse than Republicans. At least Republicans are honest about their evil.
Call your senators, they can still block this despite Schumers push. This is not a done deal. The vote is tomorrow. If all republican vote for it, they need 7 dems. 8 with Rand Paul who has said he'll vote no. (Republicans are not using reconciliation so it needs the the filibuster)
Many senate dems are publicly coming out against voting for cloture (meaning they won't vote to let it get through the filibuster). As of what I last read, around 10 dems are thought to potentially vote to let it pass filibuster. Most of those are still not sure. We only need a handful more of those to become noes and it will get blocked. Some yeses have flipped to noes because of public pressure. We cannot let up now
Wow. Literally just heard this chode on NPR talking a big game followed by Tim Caine that it was going to be a hard "no". So much for the "we stand united" against a fully packed R bill that never hit discussed with the Ds.
Absolutely fucking spineless. They have literally given up on even trying to look like they are against what is going on.
These days the only hope I have left for the US is that everyone on the left become a dem party member and primary the shit out of all these "high road" cowards.
Trump and co won't stop, and there won't be a backlash if it's not supported politically.
America has been sold to the oligarchs. If the citizens want any sense of freedom theyāre 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.
As I said in the other thread, Republicans could have waited a week or two, got their act together on the budget reconciliation bill and then reopened the government without a single democratic senator. Closing the government hurts democratic interests and the republicans reopening it without democratic votes doesn't help democratic interests either.
We already have a party that is know for being stubborn, hurting it's own constituents, and not getting anything in return besides it's base praising how tough they look - we don't need a second one.
