It sounds like a bunch of Democrats want to cave in exchange for no concessions whatsoever. Edit: Bloomberg has more details
Current likely Democratic votes for this:
- Shaheen - NH
- Hassan - NH
- King - ME
- Fetterman - PA
- Peters - MI
- Durbin - IL
- Warner - VA
- Kaine - VA
- Ossoff- GA
- Warnock - GA
If you want to change things, you need to call their DC office NOW, and leave an email if you can’t.
Edit 2: enough Democrats joined the Republicans to reopen the government with no real concessions.
The list:
- Durbin
- Hassan
- King
- Cortez Masto
- Kaine
- Shaheen
- Rosen
- Fetterman
- Schumer
- Gillibrand
There was a caucus meeting right before this, so the bulk of the Senate Democrats were likely OK with giving in, even if not willing to vote for it in public

Well of course Fetterman wants to cave.
It’s inherit because his head is caved in
Fuck that guy
With a wire brush
Thanks for giving the GOP what they wanted, “lesser evil” members of Congress.
And I had hope they would keep the pressure on the fascists, silly me.
I knew they were controlled opposition but this is going above and beyond the call of duty.
They would support Senator Adam Sutler with taking the new position of High Chancellor if they could. Maybe they’ll talk about how awful it is that Chancellor Sutler will be taking charge, but they would cave.
Trump just walks into Congress, after a stroke:
The attack by the leftists has left me scared! We need to enable more powers to defeat the woke!
And Dems would write a stern letter while voting yes.
Jar Jar is a very fine representation of the democrats at the moment.
Fetterman looks more like Boss Nass
It’s no wonder dystopia / revolution fiction is on the rise.
OP left out Chuck Schumer’s DC office number which is at www.schumer.senate.gov/contact
(Kinda doubt I can just post the number on its own without getting in trouble with the mods)
I didn’t see Schumer vote for it. The NY times has this quote from him as of a few hours ago
Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, upbraided Republican leaders for refusing to negotiate with them on health care subsidies. He said he would vote against the deal some members of the Senate Democratic caucus have brokered, because “this health care crisis is so severe.”
“Make no mistake about it, the American people know who is inflicting this health care trauma,” Schumer said. “Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Americans will remember Republican intransigence every time they make a sky high payment on health insurance.”
Even if your Democratic senator didn’t vote for this, call them up and call them out for allowing the spinless democrats to once again get fucked by Republicans for nothing.
But they are not the same trust me bro. It is not all performative politics with no real impact. Democrats will save us trust me bro. One more lawsuit bro. One more vote and we defeat facism I promise.
Once again pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory. All they had to do was literally nothing, but they couldn’t even be trusted to do that.
Schumer is the hand of satan himself.
He organized this whole thing, he got the votes, he set the agenda and then guess what he did at the last minute. Just fucking guess.
He voted against the continuing resolution and washed his hands of it so the accountability doesn’t land on him. He wanted his fat stack to spend on his gold-plated spectacles or coffin or whatever the fuck these ancient liches are planning on doing with all this wealth.
The thing too, is they didn’t lose anything, or… well better said that they were owed anything, they thought they had an opportunity to get something for free. The dems doing the shutdown didn’t lose anythings, just the huge part of the population that support them.(actually everyone)
Bought off with private deals.
Absolute fucking pussies.
Removed by mod
Peters isn’t running again, so of course he’s being a fucking bitch. You’re soft as table butter, Gary.
Fr fuck Gary Peters. Taking the cowards way out on a golden parachute.
Oh look it’s the pattern that’s been happening my entire fucking life.
And as usual my senator caves.
Absolutely fucking pathetic
Every time I said they would buckle, I was downvoted. The Democratic party as an institute is not on our side, they use rhetoric to pacify us and prevent a full on revolution that’s well overdue.
Wow it’s almost like we know how they work and their brainwashed sycophants were conditioned to disagree with any criticism of their party.
The ratchet effect with a massively shifted Overton window as made telling the truth become violence to the state.
Fetterman is a disgrace I flipping hate this dude
Hes not your enemy. If you’re a constituent, he is your employee. Give his office a call and let them know how you expect him to perform.
Hes not your enemy. If you’re a constituent, he is your employee.
Those are not mutually exclusive. You could say the same thing about Trump, who is simultaneously the president of the US, and an enemy to the US.
I mean, do call the fucker, but he is 100% a traitor and an enemy to our country.
Does calling his office actually do anything? Doesn’t that require him not to be a traitor?
Probably not, and no.
If they bother to pick up the phone. Which is more than I can say for my two senators.
Nothing wrong with showing up at their local office in person with a crowd. Ive done that before
Our their homes. At their kids birthday parties. Whatever it takes.
So I am one of Jeanne Shaheen’s constituents (and, NH being a small state, I’ve met her more than once)
I just sent her office a constituent note
Compromise was the adult, responsible, and ABSOLUTELY WRONG thing to do. I know your concerns are for your constituents and you are weighing delaying ACA extension versus SNAP and ATCs. That is the wrong calculus. Trump just dared you in a game of brinksmanship. You’re a mother, you know that if you get into a battle of wills with a three-year-old, you damn well better win. Because caving means you are not the one in control anymore.
This letter is better written than 90% of politicans can speak.
We need more fucking leftists running for stuff. Local elections!
We MUST form the left Tea Party and fucking get rid of all the dead democratic weight that’s blocking progress
Shaheen is more leftist than me
It’s not like I can tell him not to come into work on Monday and hire someone else
He is a disgrace and a disappointment. But, who was he running against? Oz. Oz didn’t even live in the state who and was more pro-Trump than Fetterman the time. So, the choice was between overtly pro-Trump Oz who was living in New Jersey or Pa-living Fetterman who wasn’t overtly pro-Trump until after the stroke.
Any deal that doesn’t put everything in one bill is worthless.
Let’s pretend for one moment that Republicans actually joined Democrats in passing the extension of ACA credits and any other concessions they got in the negotiations. Even if they passed the bill, Trump can just veto it. As long as he gets what he needs in a separate bill, he can veto anything else. And if there’s enough support for the compromise to overturn a veto, there’s enough to prevent it by passing it all as one bill.
But I’m sure Schumer will happily explain how Republicans voting against the ACA credits will be on their permanent record and how that will make this all worthwhile.
Fuck Chuck.
I can’t wait to see the form letter full of platitudes I receive in response from both of my senators about thsi
