The following Democrats [and one independent] voted to advance the Republican continuing resolution, which was backed by President Donald Trump:
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
- Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
- Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada
- Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii
- Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois
- Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York
- Senator Gary Peters of Michigan
- Senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
- Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
- Senator Angus King of Maine, an independent who frequently caucuses with Democrats
And when they sabotage the primaries to keep their opponents from taking the nominations, you liberals will still vote for them because they’re somehow a lesser evil despite fully cooperating with the greater evil.
That’s the last time I vote for Gary Peters. Good riddance. Fucking cowards!
Cowards. All of them need to go
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.
Yes, let’s not forget the country has been taken over by religious zealots who believe in the rapture among other things.
His brain is casserole after the stroke.
Hey that’s an insult to casserole
Fetterman was either bought or blackmailed by AIPAC.
Fetterman was always fake. The people in his hometown know. It’s just that against an even worse fake he can still look okay
Yeah, he or Dr Oz, that was really a shitty choice.
Ironically we are the ones who are cooked
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” The Tree of Liberty.
Fuck all these assholes with a cheese grater.
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.
Doesn’t want to jeopardize her payday after her term ends.
Dick Durbin always seems to find a way to be on the wrong side. I have no idea why he keeps getting reelected.
No one runs against him and even if someone were, he’s the incumbent with party backing and all of the name recognition that comes with the decades of doing it.
Why can’t those years of shit be used against him?
It could, but the democratic party is okay with his performance. They’re not going to bankroll attack ads on their own incumbent senator, so whoever tries to primary him would need to finance their own campaign.
We are at a point where I know you are nasty, are you actively resist if you think there is an in between, you’re a Nazi
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… 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕
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.
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.
When party stops representing the people it is time for the people to begin representing themselves.
That time was around 50 years ago.
Traitors. Get rid of all of them.
Cuck Schumer primary assfuck him immediately
Many Democrat peers are urging AOC to do just that.
How would she be able to do that?
It’s as complicated as filing two short forms with the FEC and raising a minimum of $5,000 specifically for a senate campaign.
So to answer your question, she would file 2 forms with the FEC + have someone give her $5k.
She can run for Schumer’s seat. She lives in NY, she’s been a citizen for over 9 years, and she’s over 30 years old. Those are the qualifications.
Schumer isn’t up for re-election.
He will be eventually. That’s the process to primary him.
His current term ends on January 3, 2029.
Today is March 14, 2025.
This was the only bit of leverage democrats had, the future of US democracy now lies with the judiciary, any future elections will be a farce.
The judiciary that is irreparably compromised already?
That’s the one
He’s not up for re election.
Don’t like the guy, but no need to kink shame
unfortunately he cant be removed till the end of his term, but he can be removed as senate minority leader, immediately, and removed from all his committees. Lets see if the dems have the stones to do that. If they dont, they are all complicit.
They’ll get riiiiight on that
not
Call your senator and ask them to remove him
Primary everyone on this list.
This is exactly what the right wing has done over a couple decades and it’s worked fine for them. People either lost their seats or got so scared of the constant opposition they fell in line.
As a very dumb person, is what the Dems that voted for this said wrong? Is there a chance that Asshat Trump and his Billionaire Butt Buddy would go on an unchecked rampage without Congress in session? Or is that just bull crap? I don’t know enough about how everything works when congress shuts down.
No, that is the flimsiest of excuses. First of all, how could the presidents rampage more beyond what has already transpired? Secondly, republicans love to throw tantrums and shut down the govt all the time. This wouldn’t be much different except it would show the dems are actually willing to fight with the tools they have. Unfortunately, Schumer’s maneuver shows they are not. It’s beyond pathetic.
Dems need to stop obeying in advance. Make Trump actually DO the bad things so that his base continues to feel the effects.
Let’s not water down the term “traitor” during, well… you know.
Holy shit did murica ever die with a whimper. Maybe not even a whimper, but I don’t what’s less
A hiccup.
Well I already knew that Durbin is a shithead, but at least we still have Duckworth here in IL.
Ole Dickhead Dirtbin. you can’t count on him for much, but you can always count on him to sell out his constituency.
Hawaii has been sucking recently
They also gave us Tulsi Gabbard.
They really Schatz the bed
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.
