    What the fuck is wrong with this guy? And what’s wrong with New York that it keeps electing worthless sacks of shit like him and Gillibrand?

    The pseudo-fascists will always bow before the real fascists. Only one way to get rid of fascists.

    Call your democratic rep and demand that they insist Schumer resign.

    (202) 224-3121

    At this point, I am Not donating a single dollar more to the party. I won’t vote for a democrat at the top of the ticket and will pick a DSA candidate or green candidate. If the democrats aren’t willing to fight for democracy or strengthen it when they’re in power, I won’t reward them with votes.

    Every democrat senator needs to be primaried.

      So we yell at someone who yells at someone who then says “No.” and then we’re back where we started.

      Plus my democratic Senator has brain damage and I have no democratic representative.

      Me neither. I’m done. They have until midterms to change my mind.

    “I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option.”

    What’s his reason for saying this? How does a government shutdown give Trump more power?

      Citing what I saw on Philip DeFranco earlier, apparently in a shutdown the executive branch has a lot of power in terms of what specifics get shutdown and how.

      Was news to me considering the shitshow that happens every time the budget needs to be voted on but with all the DOGEness going on makes sense that there’s extra caution around this. Still sucks that Dems rolled over so easily.

        Nothing is stopping the republicans from shutting it down themselves if it was so beneficial to Trump.

        And it’s not like they wouldn’t lie and blame it on the Democrats, so there’s minimal risk in voter agitation vs alleged reward.

          Plus it’s a great opportunity for dozens of trolls to push a republican narrative on social media. Maybe a message to anyone left-leaning to stop voting.

          Ok but this isn’t what I voted for last November and I’m quickly running out of reasons to vote ever again until these dumb fucks actually do something to oppose him. Might as well let the fascists have all the seats, the Dems only apparent purpose right now is to further legitimize trumps unconstitutionality.

            I swear if Gavin fucking Newsom gets the nomination, I’ll take my chances with Vance… And that’s not a compliment at Vance, Gavin’s just THAT openly transphobic that Vance looks like a good person BY COMPARISON, I know they’re both transphobes.

            God… a situation where I’d support Vance, are things really getting that bad

            Course if it’s Trump Jr. I’m going to try to grab a ballot, only to throw up all over it… That apple hasn’t fallen from the tree, somehow it’s floating over it

            Walz however, I can live with and vote for willingly without a gun to my head.
