It sounds like a bunch of Democrats want to cave in exchange for no concessions whatsoever. Edit: Bloomberg has more details
Current likely Democratic votes for this:
- Shaheen - NH
- Hassan - NH
- King - ME
- Fetterman - PA
- Peters - MI
- Durbin - IL
- Warner - VA
- Kaine - VA
- Ossoff- GA
- Warnock - GA
If you want to change things, you need to call their DC office NOW, and leave an email if you can’t.
Edit 2: enough Democrats joined the Republicans to reopen the government with no real concessions.
The list:
- Durbin
- Hassan
- King
- Cortez Masto
- Kaine
- Shaheen
- Rosen
- Fetterman
- Schumer
- Gillibrand
There was a caucus meeting right before this, so the bulk of the Senate Democrats were likely OK with giving in, even if not willing to vote for it in public
Time to get busy supporting your favorite third party candidate.
Or primary them, steal their D
I don’t think Democrat leadership has a dick. Or a vage. They lack hardness, depth, and warmth.
They are the Barbie dolls of the political world, and have become the Turdpublican’s playthings.
Bullshit! This is more losing strategy than not voting at all.
Democrats need to be primaried just like the Republicans were by maga.
We need the same, except a left version that’s willing to stand up and fight for the people.
Been playing that shell game for 40 years. Nope.
So… exactly what people have been saying to do since the 90s and hasn’t happened and then we still have to vote blue no matter who.
Stop thinking this is going to happen. It’s never going to happen.
