The secret-ballot vote to pick Connolly over AOC was 131 to 84 in a closed door Democratic caucus meeting, so it's not just Schumer who's the problem. Even if people are ready to primary these 10. There are still systematic issues with the party that will slow down any progress. It is going to be a hard fight going forward vs Super PACs and Billionaires pouring resources into opps.
Fetterman is not a democrat, I don't care what letter he puts in front of his name. I'd be curious to see what these folks' reason for voting for this is, because it's been made abundantly clear over the last 20 years or so that neither party gives a shit about shutting down the government to get what they want.
Not even American but just seeing this Fetterman guy's name fills me with rage. This right here is a prime example of the worst kind of politician. Absolute fucking lying snake that suckered everyone in with falsities and by pretending to be something he's not. This is a guy who is just begging to be fucking dragged out into the streets and pulled apart by angry rioters.
"There is no off-ramp," for a government shutdown, Schumer told the Times. "The off-ramp is in the hands of Donald Trump and Elon Musk and DOGE. We could be in a shutdown for six months or nine months."
That's exactly how they get you to vote for these shitty bills every time. Fucking fear over what will happen if you don't cave. Nothing gets better if you give in to bullies every time.
Welp, if we're still having elections by 2026, I know which Dick I'll be trying to get primaried out. Bastard didn't take our phone calls seriously, so it's the least we can do.
Also apparently he's already had "traitor" added to his wiki page. I dunno who managed that so quickly, but good job! Dick Durbin is a traitor, just like all the others who voted in support of this funding bill.
