      THEY ARE TERIFIED.

      Why isn’t MSNBC on the vigil? Why isn’t CNN on the offensive? Why did the WP sell out its editorial column?

      THEY ARE TERRIFIED.

      You don’t even know how bad it is, because the commercial entities that the US has entrusted with their information are now looking out for themselves.

      THERE’S A REASON THAT THE PRESS IS THE FOURTH COLUMN. and we get to see why in the worst way.

    Just to be clear the bill needs 60 votes to pass. 53 republicans, Schumer makes 54. Still need another 6 dems to flip.

    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.

    The only way murica comes back is with a revolution. No politicians give a fuck about anyone but themselves and their family. Glad im not murican

      Its getting harder and harder to see how we get out of this without violence. The only question is what will touch it off.

    At this point how many times do people need to get that Dems won’t fight for you even at their lowest popularity.

      “You see, by giving Republicans what they want, it actually shows how badly we needed progressives in the voting booths last November. Somehow us being evil makes them vote for us more.”

        Protest if you can. If not, ask the groups what support you can offer with a list of skills such as logistics, spreadsheet, security, secure com, policing tactics, etc

        Yeah, pretty much.

        But here’s my final correspondence to my Democratic Senators

        I want to share how absolutely disappointed I am with the Democratic party and how they are handling being the opposition party thus far especially with this latest round of budget bills that screw over the working families by cutting Medicaid/care. Not even one freaking day after after stating that Democrats would stand strong and not vote for this abomination of a bill, your leader goes and announces they’re going to vote for it.

        This party has no spine, no convictions and won’t stand up to fascism and continues to roll over and vote for anything the Nazi-salute party shoves your way. I am absolutely sickened at this lack of leadership and standing up against these fascist and honestly, I don’t see a point in voting for Democrats moving forward when this is the lesser of two evils but then again, I’m sure leadership here will vote to remove our right to vote soon in the grandest gestures of capitulation so I guess there’s that.

    Defeating Republicans with complete submission. Maybe they’ll wear matching colors to show they’re voting it in protest.

      Yep.

      The CR hands a lot of purse strings to trump directly, it’s cause and way more at the presidents discretion.

      A shutdown is 100% the move here.

      But Schumer is a neoliberap thru and thru. So he’s going to do what the money (and Israel) want. And that means bailing out trump.

      We can’t fight fascism with neoliberalism, because both groups do whatever they can for the largest check.

      It controlled opposition, and the only way either of them can win an election, is when they’re the only two options.
