Dem Senators followed the orders of their corporate donors

and NOT their voters

corporations don't want to have bad Christmas sales because of the government shutdown

and corporate stooges complied

We need a new party

Dem leadership works for the same oligarchs as the GOP. I am tired of being played. Time for a 3rd party.

We cannot afford a divided and weak opposition party when an authoritarian is invading our cities, terrorizing our communities, and corruptly self-enriching at the expense of the rest of us. We want to celebrate a Democratic Party that fights back. But after this latest surrender, the next step is primaries and new leadership. We get the party we demand, and we intend to demand one that fights.

If there is one thing I have learned in the last 10 years is that Dem leadership ALWAYS fails us.

Primary them all.

Absolutely correct

one of the funniest parts about Joyce Carol Oates going viral for nuking Elon Musk is that he absolutely needed someone tell him who Joyce Carol Oates is

Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates posted on Sunday, November 9th that reads "so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates--scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. in fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. the poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

I'm calling AOC and telling her to primary Schumer

Wouldn’t even allow us one entire week of feeling hopeful.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Who are we kidding? The files will never be released. Dems need to protect their donors too. I have ZERO faith left in Dem "leadership."

On Tuesday, Americans sent Democrats a resounding message.

“Fight for us”

“Fight for working class Americans”

“Fight against Trump’s corruption, criminality and cruelty”

5 days later, Democrat Senators sent Americans a resounding message.

“Nah”

Bring on the Progressives. Boot out the establishment.

I am so sick of them.

The only thing Senate Democrats should be agreeing to is an extension of the enhanced premium tax credits under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for millions of Americans buying plans on the health exchanges and releasing the Trump-Epstein files.

They caved. Senate Democrats caved. Their voters demanded just one very simple thing: FIGHT. Dammit, just FIGHT. Instead, they caved.

What Democratic voter is excited about the Democratic vote to reopen the government without guarantees on the ACA?

Let me know.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

True. We didnt have Change .org and other Verified Signature Websites with the Tap of your finger on a Smartphone. Still though...if this falls down in November 2025, then THIRD-PARTY efforts need to begin IMMEDIATELY! DEMS CANNOT BE TRUSTED FFS! I'm so Down, but we have to get to work likeYESTERDAY

I’ve never felt this betrayed in my life. All we’ve done is for nothing. I feel like they just spit in my face.

They've done nothing since January 6th. They could have stopped all of this by refusing to certify the election on the grounds of the 14th Amendment. The Supreme Court already accepted Colorado's conclusion that Trump is an insurrectionist, but said only Congress can enforce the 14th.

Dems held out for 40 days for nothing?

I am sure the dems will not actually go through with a vote on releasing the Epstein files (unless they know they don't have the votes) They have to protect their donors.

After all the wins on Nov 4, immediate capitulation in the Senate is an unconscionable failure of democrat leadership.

This is humiliating for every person who showed up for NO KINGS, everyone who voted last Tuesday, everyone who stands up to ICE, every judge who has held the legal line, every small town person who stands up week after week in their red rural area with their signs saying “Vote Blue”. YOU LET US DOWN

DO NOT CAVE!
