Oxymoron 🇵🇸

A real banner week for Chuck Schumer, given that only a few days ago he refused to back the Democratic nominee for mayor of his home city.

Can’t wait for the milquetoast letter this generates

Watching democrats cave over and over again is like watching the slowest train crash ever. Except they are standing in front of approximately 800 levers that say “pull to stop train.” And they just stare at them, and say, “if only we could stop that train.”

I will take an actually dead sloth frozen in ice over Chuck Schumer

Like I said, @schumer.senate.gov , the heckling won't stop until you resign.

This is what you're gonna get every day you're still in power. You managed to have less of a spine than an actual sponge.

At least sponges are useful. You are somehow less than useless.

Resign.

AAPAC🤝AIPAC

The price of a soul

It took him this long? Did the payout get delayed?

You don't have to tell us that "actually we should be pissed at the GOP."

The only BlueSky users who don't hate the GOPs guts are all in Congress.

And that's the entire problem with congressional Dems tbh.

Hmmm. AAPAC and AIPAC seem to have a lot of overlap, eh?

There are three non-negotiables from any political candidate, regardless of other stances:
1. They must be for defunding Israel and ICE
2. They must be for fundamental political reform, including removing mega-donor loopholes from Citizens United
3. They must be for Supreme Court expansion

Phil Kessel was born to wear this. Sign him, cowards.

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

We need new leaders in the Senate.

Every single Senate candidate should be saying the specific words “Chuck Schumer and Senate Leadership are unfit to continue, and I will vote to remove them on day one.”

If you want to win, strength is the only acceptable answer.

The base can handle some kayfabe but not when Republicans are torching the constitution and abducting people off the street.

Resigning in disgrace would be a much kinder fate than that which senate democrats have just assigned to us.

I know damn well a person named “Angus” is a closeted republican

Angus King, “I believe we are closer to a vote on extending the ACA subsidies.”

Believe. Closer. A vote. Extending.

Not “know”. Not “going to.” Not “a guarantee”. Not “permanent.”

He BELIEVES we are CLOSER to a VOTE.

Unbelievable levels of fucked.

Yup

Im these times, there are a few avenues I see often: rage, despair, and apathy. Rage requires clarity of purpose and determination in order to be effective. Despair is the verge of giving up. Apathy is taking yourself out of the fight. Choose your avenue carefully. Today, rage. Let’s get focused.

They can vote him out as party leader now if they choose to. He would still be in the senate but neutered and voiceless where he belongs

Somehow, there are new depths I find every day. It’s exhausting.

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵

If I could pick one fate for democrats, it would be that they be made poor. It would take less than a month before we have them calling for complete overhaul. Since that’s not an option, they must be forced into a situation where they have to grapple with their own political self-preservation

That would be a kinder fate than they deserve

Incredible that Chuck was so furious his little golden boy cuomo didn’t win, he finally went full MAGA

Honestly. My god. The situation is untenable. We have to act like our lives depend on our own actions. They do. Help isn’t coming.

THEY HAVE ME AGREEING WITH GAVIN GODDAMN NEWSOM. LIKE THE ACTUAL DEVIL. MY GOD

Why, why, WHY CAN THEY NOT JUST DO THEIR JOBS

Every single senator, congressperson, state rep, etc. etc. who disagrees with this should be calling unendingly for resignations. Anyone who doesn’t agrees by complicity with democrats fucking us all.
