No on cloture. The people demand resistance. The people understand the shutdown and want it. No more obfuscating the power of Congress (i.e. the power of we the people)! It's one thing for Republicans to hand over their power - not us!! Do your job!
Remember We got here because of what Republicans have been doing for the last 30 years…during MUCH of which they were a minority…. WTF is wrong with Dems?
It comes off as iconic because this is Peak Democratic Party. Now we will spend months dealing with the internal civil war fallout + they will privately regret it but they can’t admit it because their constituents will be even more mad.
The entire Democratic leadership are either hostile or inept. They need to be removed or replaced by a party that will actually fight for the working class.
It's worst than useless, it's active sabatoge. The reason the Democratic party isn't fighting, is because the Democratic party is getting exactly what they want.
Lower taxes for billionaires, and the ability to blame Trump when it all goes to shit.
I had been joking about this from the start, but i think we have to accept this is the reality we’re facing. My heart sank when we found out that Hakeem took money from the very people causing this, but I wanted to have a little hope. We have to get rid of Hakeem AND Shumer in the primaries/midterms
Kyle, the Democrats are controlled opposition to the GOP. They are deliberately incompetent. For lack of a better word, they are corpo rats. ALL of them. Cowardly corpo rats.
I'm so torn on this because this shutdown feels like a lose lose for Dems. If the government does shut down, wouldn't that give Dump and Muskrat even more power to just fire whoever they want in the federal government? Whereas people who get fired while the government operates can still fight back?
We need to give AOC all the support she needs to primary the fuck out of Shumer. She’s not perfect, but at least she’s doing something and isn’t having her own people arrested or directly taking money from the people fascists actively attacking us as far as we know.

The Uniparty System in all its naked glory.
If you aren’t working inside the system to destroy the system, then you are the system.
Neolibs emboldened the fascists on the Right with their decades of corruption and war against the Left/Progressive.
Allowing the “populists” on the Right to gain more power than anyone ever.
And we all know how this ends.
Silly DNC traitors. We will not forget your failures.🫰

The billionaire donors are happy as can be.
It would seem they don't want their monies disrupted as they're going to need more Government because the market is abysmal right now.
Boycott.
@parkroseperma.bsky.social does a great job of explaining why you would want the govenrnent shut down to go ahead.

We need to apply as much pressure as we can as a substitute for the spine @schumer.senate.gov lacks.
