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
democrats will just move the goal posts in the primaries or run an additional 15 establishment candidates to split the vote and ensure nobody but the establishment ever wins. It’s what they did to bernie.
they say not to vote 3rd party because it will “split the vote” but it’s just projection. It’s what they would do.
It’s why Cuomo ran as an independent when he didn’t win the nomination, and most were unwilling to back the actual nominee until the day of the election.
They will ratfuck you then wonder why no one likes them.
