A. This is not remotely how human psychology and sociology work. B. I am sorry to inform you but normies are really disconnected with politics. For the love of god.

Why yes and what do you think is going to happen in an environment where one party embraces lying propaganda and the other can barely rhetric themselves out of a paper bag? Sorry I've seen this show before.

I am bigging people to understand that politics is not policy. I would bet on some form of this being what the general public is going to think based on the fact that dems don't to rheteric.

Also, I grantee our own side (intentionally or not) cementing bullet number 2.

This as well. Like I would be less cynical about this if dems actually did rhetoric/communications that isn't filtered through the worst corporate bs, but they don't.

Public opinion doesn't work by loose associations of cause and effect? Have you talked to normies lately?

You are an embarassment

Because most dem senators are happy about tonight's outcome, their protestations are lies (a few potential exceptions).

I assure you I no longer believe the median dem senator remotely care about anyone but themselves

If they thought the election would shift Trump (a famously empirically minded person) they are all too stupid to have their jobs

Okay I am going to bed now

All the no votes are either folks retiring, already wanted to end the shutdown, or not up for election in 2026. The generally thinking is that moderates wanted the shutdown to end, so the votes were assembled to do that but give cover to moderates who might be primaries next year.

It's hard to tell because the no votes are just those volunteered or volunteered to do it.

Because they always wanted to do this and were waiting a reasonable time until after the elction

Yes, but this now cements in my mind that democratic leadership will actually not attempt any reforms in the long term, and therefore, the slide into oligarchy and fascism is still the dominate trend locally and globally.

I'm sorry, does it hurt your feeling when I ask the minority leader to do his job and then not arrange voting cover for the caucus and then tell us to eat shit

The fact that their stupid quisling trial Ballon erupted as soon as ink dried on the election.

I'm sure he was very sad about it.

An unfortunetly more likely model. bsky.app/profile/high...

Moderate senate dems love oligarchs more than their constituents.

😆 I needed a good joke after tonight.

Sellout Schumer and the caucus of quislings selling out and doing nothing after using us on Nov. 4th

Right, if only dems hadn't done the vote on Sunday night and then obscured the vote by strategically organizing who voted no. Vote the whole God damn caucus out.

The senate dems strategically did this after the election on a Sunday night and hid their voting preferences by making all the no's retirees or recent elected. They wanted to do this and hate their voters. They are also going to lose on this politically.

Agreed, primary all of them

Obama care is dead and it is never coming back with these senators in charge
