🧨 primary everybody 🧨 🌻

I don’t think that’s what they’re saying, actually

y i k e s

yeah and I don’t think he makes that jump if he wins Goldman’s seat. plus if he waits two years Gillibrand is up

they’re already polling her crushing him by like 20 points. I would bet he retires if she floats that she’s running

I think it’s going to be AOC

yeah he’s running to primary Goldman, who is a bad fit for that district

Statement from DNC Chair Ken Martin on Senate Shutdown Vote. For 7 weeks, we have stood firm and spoken with one voice: we must save health care for millions of Americans. Donald Trump has made it impossible for families to make ends meet, forcing them to choose between putting food on the table or paying their medical bills. The last thing Americans can afford is their health insurance premiums doubling overnight. Let me be crystal clear: Donald Trump and the Republican Party that orchestrated this betrayal of the American people are responsible for the men, women, and children who will suffer because they cannot get the health care they need to survive. These are the same people who rushed to vote for tax breaks for billionaires. It is clear whose side they are on. As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Dem leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Dems who opposed this vote.

Opinion | The Two Men Blocking Military Sexual Assault Reform (Published 2021)

No, Jack Reed fucking sucks and weakened sexual assault reforms in the military until he got publicly shamed for it

they're taking the heat for colleagues who agree with them, but don't want to get primaried

Hakeem is against the deal

IF this gets voted on, one sin from March will be partly expiated.

We are governed by elderly people who hate working and who spend a lot of time in airports.

If Torres and Yglesias are willing to say “are you fucking stupid, why support this bill,” how do you think your donors and primary voters will react.

Invite representatives that want to primary them

Fun fact, let’s say Thune does give Senate Dems a vote and doesnt whip against ACA subsidies, Speaker Johnson has no intention of ever holding a vote on it

Okay yeah the House caucus is pissed.

I would respect House Democrats a lot more if they started planning primaries against the Senate Surrender Caucus tbh. like Joe Neguse would wax Hickenlooper 60-40

if you replaced the entire Senate Democratic caucus with basically the median House Democrat this country would be better off

for example, regardless of how Schumer and Gillibrand vote now, I will never vote for them again, because they have revealed themselves to be pathetic quislings who won’t fight for New York

anyway if this really is a cave then do not think your senator isn’t in favor of this even if they don’t vote for it unless they explicitly say so

doesn’t really matter at this point after March. he’s done, whether he realizes it now or in 2027

not only that, a whole bunch of Dem governors got to feed their people and gain a potentially lethal political attack 'when they tried to starve you, democrats fed you'

if your senator votes for this you should primary them for someone who knows how to fucking count

the argument was that there are more Americans will who be hurt by failing to fund these subsidies than are (temporarily) harmed by the shutdown. I’m pretty sure that’s still true

the only difference is that through their own cowardice they now own the insane increase in healthcare deductibles next year too

we’re still touching the fucking stove, because they’re not going to get an ACA subsidies vote

Harry Reid is turning over in his grave over this weak-willed bullshit
