10.11.2025 00:28 β π 314 π 54 π¬ 6 π 0Establishment Democrats arenβt afraid of the GOP. They simply agree with the GOP in almost all the ways that count. And it is in those ways they do the most harm to the poor, to the sick, and to immigrants.
10.11.2025 00:34 β π 506 π 148 π¬ 6 π 7LMAO. It's all FAKE. They are absolutely fucking with you.
10.11.2025 00:43 β π 541 π 75 π¬ 18 π 0I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.
10.11.2025 00:17 β π 2629 π 797 π¬ 50 π 0Healthcare costs for millions of Americans are doubling. Angus King has a net worth of $22 million.
10.11.2025 04:46 β π 827 π 337 π¬ 29 π 27Why has the government been closed at all if Senate Dems cave now? Didn't they say that they could not go along with throwing millions of people off health care?
What's materially changed? A *promise* is not action. ALSO fascists lie and I've been told by some Senate Dems that the GOP is fascist.
Seriously, this was a smart deal for the coward caucus in @democrats.senate.gov to make because they're about to make more lifelong enemies than they've ever had before.
10.11.2025 00:21 β π 619 π 142 π¬ 55 π 4Weβre not going to βfix the Democratsβ brandβ by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. Iβm looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.
10.11.2025 03:22 β π 5167 π 1126 π¬ 278 π 58This is LITERALLY what happened a few months when the Senate GOP promised to have a vote on re-funding DC's government. It never even got a vote in the House!

10.11.2025 05:14 β π 351 π 27 π¬ 9 π 2Even the senators who are retiring and think they won't have to face the wrath of furious Democratic voters should know that their last name is about to become so toxic that not even a goddamn nonprofit is going to want you on the board.

10.11.2025 04:08 β π 145 π 15 π¬ 1 π 0My opinion only, for whatever itβs worth:
The Epstein files are fairy dust to keep Democrats hoping something will change instead of actually making things change.
We need to make change and not just hope for it.
I think tonight shows why βmoderate to win electionsβ is a real risk
the big divide in the Dem caucus, as many have noted, has been less moderate vs progressive than fight versus donβt fight
but itβs not a coincidence that basically everyone in the βdonβt fightβ camp is a moderate
More Senate Democrats folded to let Trump gut our healthcare than House Republicans folded to release the Epstein files.
This is example of why we can't have nice things.
Shocker, the same βmoderate Democratsβ who wouldnβt support Mamdani just sold out Americans and gave up on ACA subsidies.
Primary them all.
Get them out.
Replace them with those who will fight for healthcare for all/
Also anyone close to members claiming they are shocked by this cave despite the exact contours being known for months is straining all possible credulity.
10.11.2025 00:47 β π 32 π 3 π¬ 2 π 0Yeah Iβm angry and grumpy tonight, and seeing a lot of hopium about βat least the Epstein filesβ¦β.
Hereβs my opinion on that. Everything that could harm Trump and allies will have been scrubbed. Otherwise, there is no way the government shutdown would be ending.
They lined up all their defectors in safe positions or who had nothing to lose and everyone else had time to workshop their little posts about how they don't agree with this
10.11.2025 04:37 β π 439 π 91 π¬ 9 π 3The Democrats love this shit excuse for fucking us over
10.11.2025 04:04 β π 229 π 44 π¬ 14 π 2Tonight Democrats proved that old quip.
If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1, and then wish for something they think Republicans will like.
We need a true opposition party now more than ever. Because this aint it.
folks is it normal our president glows red like satan in a low budget horror movie?
10.11.2025 01:27 β π 2535 π 290 π¬ 75 π 6Considering Trump leads the GOP, really quite an achievement for the Democrats to be the dumbest party in DC
10.11.2025 04:16 β π 660 π 130 π¬ 9 π 4The Democrats are gonna try to spin this as 8 rogue senators. This is a Schumer op.
10.11.2025 04:17 β π 698 π 117 π¬ 46 π 4Our political system is fundamentally broken. It was not designed to represent the will of the people and it is incapable of doing so today.
The people don't want a king. The people don't want Democrats to surrender. The people don't want only two parties.
The people don't want any of this.
Target his support in the Senate for pressure. but just as importantly, target his friends.
Especially individual donors, small business donors, and community org allies.
Make it toxic to be caught in a picture with him.
I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really
10.11.2025 04:31 β π 5774 π 1061 π¬ 87 π 55Before ACA, many Americans couldnβt afford insurance
Alex Smith was a diabetic who got kicked off his Momβs insurance at 26
He made 35k a year which was βtoo muchβ for Medicaid, but not nearly enough to cover insurance premiums
He had to ration his insulin & died a month after losing insurance
Launch them into the sun.
