The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

A lot of theories about the Dem senate sell-out being motivated by the Dem’s concern for their own or constituents’ unhappiness about flight cancellations. But it’s far more likely it’s being motivated by airlines’ lobbying. This party doesn’t even care about middle class comfort, only corporate $$$

The 8 Senate Democratic Caucus members who voted to end the shutdown There are few obvious threads connecting the group who broke the partisan impasse.

Every single one of them, "well they bullied us real hard, and I'm a coward who cares more about my personal position than the future of society."

I haven’t given a penny to the DNC and the feckless party for a long time. I have donated to candidates, including the 7 traitor Dems. Boy was I duped, esp. by Fetterman. I will never forgive or forget.

Only 7 Dems and one independent. The rest of us are in a frothing rage at the betrayal by the 7.

Except in most states you can’t vote against the sellout quisling traitors in the primaries. That’s why I’m staying in the party.

I stay in the Democratic Party to vote in the primaries against turncoat quisling shits like Fetterman, Kaine and other corporatist shills. Fuck those guys.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

Casual reminder that the myth of β€œpulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today.

The system is rigged.
