You can’t have internal fights that divide the party - says the people who refuse to vote together.

It was naive at best to think that Trump wasn’t going to inflict as much pain as possible during the shutdown. If you weren’t ready to hold out NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES, then don’t do it, because you know that’s where he’s going to go. If you’re going to fight, fight to win.

Dem pundits: “You can’t control Senators. Isn’t it great we have a big tent?” Odd how Republicans can vote together and get their agenda passed. This was a failure orchestrated by leadership in service to corporations, pitched as a “win” to get a “real debate” so people are “on the record.” BS.

Doing better than Schumer is a low bar to pass.

The fact that Bernie Sanders punted on the question of who should Schumer is extremely depressing. That’s openly admitting there’s nobody in Senate leadership who is fighting for the people.

Yeah, all you have to do is screw millions of Americans out of their healthcare for a talking point.

Corruption

Mealy mouth BS. All the gymnastics pundits are doing to justify the cave shows how beholden Dem leadership is to corporations.

Hey Pete, tell that to our Senators that just voted to screw millions of Americans on health care by caving to Trump. All your talk means zip when you cave when you have real leverage.

Pundits are saying they never planned to win, they wanted to “make a statement.” If that’s true then this was all BS and should never have been done. Fight to win or don’t fight at all.

Clarence Thomas must be pissed to miss out on a chance to overturn gay marriage.

I’m really hating all the mealy mouthed BS that this was really a win for the Dems, followed closely by all the “differences of opinion is what makes us such a great party - we aren’t in lockstep” THATS THE PROBLEM YOU TWITS. Self destruction is not a virtue.

I have to hand it to them, it's an incredible bit to publicly lose a game of chicken, admit that's what happened, and then spend the next day lecturing everyone about courage and tenacity

So tell me, what did your 8 colleagues say when you asked them why they decided to screw millions of Americans by caving to Trump? You did ask them, right?

Congratulations on choosing to screw millions of Americans out of their health care in order to cave in to Trump. I thought being independent meant one had a spine. I was wrong.

You just put my hatred of ICE at war with my hatred of Fetterman. I’m about to short circuit.

I cannot f-ing believe the mealy mouthed explaining of how the Senate caving to Trump is a “win” because it sets up the Republicans to get blamed for health care. YOU RAISED MY COSTS TO GET A TALKING POINT? When you could have stopped it? F-U!

Primary them all. Relentlessly brand them as traitors and refuse to talk about anything else.

Primary.Every.Dem.Traitor.

Could be worse - Ted Nugent and Kid Rock for the halftime show.

Meanwhile ICE raids a day care center to arrest a teacher, in front of all the kids. They are not driven by a mission to find hardened criminals, they are nothing more than thugs with a quota to fill.

Hey do me a favor, Miz AOC, have a slate of candidates ready to primary any traitor Dem Senators that cave on this. I’ll gladly do what I can to get them elected.

Agreed. Nothing shows how beholden the Dems are to the corporations like the panic that ensues whenever a progressive is elected. God forbid Mamdani is effective or other parts of the country might wake up to the fact that the Dem leadership is corporate light vs Republican corporate dark.

So SCOTUS decides that Trump has the power to starve Americans. I’m now convinced that it’s going to take more than a midterm election to deal with this administration. We need to clean house. Jail Trump and his cabinet, and fire every judge he appointed.

While Dems are enjoying the latest wins, let’s not forget:
EPSTEIN!
EPSTEIN!
EPSTEIN!
Thanks for your attention to this matter.

You mean like if we have the rule of law apply to the President future Presidents will avoid criminal activities.

The terrifying prospect for the Dem establishment isn’t Mamdani winning, it’s him turning out to be an effective mayor.

This is praise only because it is statistically impossible to be wrong all the time.

Darth Cheney was the old fashioned kind of corrupt Republican: a patriot who loved his country while starting unnecessary wars to funnel billions of dollars to his corporate buddies. Now he serves as another example of how Jesus is more forgiving than we’d like him to be.

I’m up for an old fashioned flogging. Put it on pay-per-view and donate all the money to food banks. Bet the revenue feeds the poor for months.
