future narrator: The Democrats backed quickly away from the fight as soon as they got a "bipartisan compromise" allowing them to also bring a clean budget bill to floor, in addition to the Republican budget bill, for a merely symbolic vote that was guaranteed to fail.
Everyone, get the addresses of your elected representatives. Don't bother calling or emailing. You'll have to do something kinetic to get their attention.
Get out of my head haha … couldn’t have said it better. This. This is what we elect you for and donate money for. Not to create social media messages that let your constituents know how deplorable this situation is … we already know that! You are the ones in a position to truly represent democracy.
They could have avoided this by simply telling Israel to cut out the livestreamed g3nocide, but they decided they would rather keep cashing their AIPAC checks than maintain global stability and/or curb the expansion of human suffering.
Please, for the love of god, understand this. They don't work for the American people. They work for the highest corporate donor. Also, almost all of them are guilty of insider trading. They are on the side of fascism. They are not gonna help us.
No, WE have to find people we want that will fight for us. Primary everyone everywhere.
We need MANY MORE younger, more diverse members and we need to get rid of the dinosaurs in the Senate.
And I'm saying this as a 68 year woman who has been a Democrat for almost 50 years.
We tried to change the party in 2016 and again in 2020 and the party establishment told us we were being childish and helping måğæ win by being too woke. It won't be easy to bring people back into the party when it has consistently failed to respond to organic, grassroots movements.
How did you try to change the party, Austn?
Parties as old as the Democrats take years to change, it doesn't happen in one cycle or even two.
Choose your fighters in Texas, support them and get the word out.
I don't have any money to do anything of the sort. The DNC has lost me. They are fully incapable of seeing the republican party as their actual enemy, almost wholly captured by capital (ENTIRELY captured in the leadership), and will never change w/o campaign finance law reestablished and enforced.
Who said anything about the DNC? I haven't donated to them in 20 years, or the DCCC or the DSCC.
Do you have a local party, where you can go to a couple of meetings? An Indivisible group?
I donate only to candidates and support my state party (I'm in Kansas, so I understand the frustration).
Then get out there and find people to run! Start with state races, those are a lot cheaper to win, and an intelligent well spoken Democrat can make inroads, even in red states.
Get together with other Democrats, do whatever you can.
You swear you'll continue to vote for them and give them donations, because they're the only other viable political party, and they're counting on that.
This is not the time for hesitation or playing it safe. We have the facts, the moral high ground, and public outrage on our side there’s no excuse for backing down. If Democrats don’t go all in now, when will they?
I’m really finding it harder to see a point in the Democratic Party. If they won’t fight, let ‘em wither. Let the fighters go independent and we’ll vote for them. Bernie, Walz, and AOC could lead the way. They already are.
It will be the end of a functioning Democrat party and it will be time to organize new partys. Yes it means Trump will face zero opposition but what will be the functional difference between current Dems and no opposition at all?
Thats your problem in The America... God, it has absolutely nothing to do with anything good happening on this planet. Except most of The Bad that happens is done on The name of gods. Religion is cancer and it should Be treated The same way, cut it out of your Life.
This. Grow a pair 8 Senate Dems.
Give a thumbs up to Musk/trump34, who are actively dismantling the federal gov’t, you are eviscerating the national Democratic Party. Will be no coming back from your cowardice. And…YOU will be losing your Office next election.
An existential moment - you caved.
Chuck Schumer just caved. He is a complete disgrace. He needs to go. This MUST be the end of his senate career and he leaves in shame. What a complete coward, embarrassment and disgrace. He’s no New Yorker!
I think some Dems in the Senate believe that a shut down plays into the hands of Republicans. Reasonable minds can differ. I lean toward the idea that a “no” vote is best.
I'll fucking lose it, straight up. There's no fucking shot that they can really sit back and think: "Maybe taking the slow play route is the best course. :)"

But the country is tanking right now, and the uninformed public needs to understand that’s all on Republicans.
As it is, it’ll be shared, and it will come down to a messaging war? And by the way? Democrats
Great at policy. Great at having morals. Terrible with comms.
The smart move would be to wait until the fall.
I know you don’t agree. That’s why I left an assbomb in your mailbox.
Fox, X, etc. will demagogue this effectively. It’s not the right time to enter into battle.
But since we are, let’s do our best to destroy them.

No CR.
On a totally different topic....do you still believe in the Easter Bunny?
IOW, he threw the game.
Despicable.
I get the sentiment that Dems don’t fight and didn’t then either, but early 00’s America had some rose colored post terrorism glasses.
A lot of them will be successful too.
At a certain point, you have to start thinking they might just be working with the enemy.

Burn the fucking party to the ground. It's time for something new and better
No. No. No.
