Problem with having a freakishly plugged in, high-info base is you cannot possibly get away with this kind of thing. Everyone will understand what you’re doing.

so apparently the cw is that dems will technically filibuster the cr but practically allow it by first insisting they be granted the right to add a couple DOA amendments before allowing cloture?
if true -- that is some reverse-engineered cynicism, man. wow.

Either that or pressure is working.
After them making good so far today I'm inclined to give them a little slack as at worst it gives us a week to add pressure.
Do they not understand we can see them?

How can you call yourselves a high-info base if you keep falling for this BS?
🚨 WAKE UP — THEY THINK YOU’RE STUPID! 🚨
That's quite an assumption. Not if they're relying on MSNBC. Trying to flatter your 32,000 viewers?
NO 6 MONTH CR UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES until DOGE is gone and Elon is out of the White House.
It is time for a new generation of DEM leaders!
If this is bait-and-switch, we’ll know the party is dead as an institution.
We’ll need a name for the Dem tea party thing. And a dress-up theme.
To be clear, the "30-day CR" is a Dem amendment that only gets a vote IF the Dems allow cloture on the House-passed CR bill. When the amend. fails (Ds don't have the votes), the Senate passes the House CR version with 51 votes instead of 60.
VOTE NO ON CLOTURE!

They're not an opposition party, their owners want this.
Definitely changes the calculus in the voting booth.
I am quite surprised that this can Happen, and this illegal activity is not bounced right away to Congress , that should stop it until everyone agrees on what to do

Names will be taken. 😡
If you haven’t signed this - check it out. I just signed it.
It’s like they are all playing a game to just stay in office. They don’t even consider anymore what is best for, or what their constituents want.
THROW THEM ALL OUT.
START OVER FROM SCRATCH.

We're not dumb.
I'm done with that dude.
Do they think "this whole thing will blow over" in 4 years?
The 🍊🐖 is NOT going anywhere. Ever.
Look forward to your show ...

Stop the theft
*That* should be the Dems message.
*Republicans* are enabling trump’s destruction of our 3 co-equal branch style of government.
Only *republicans* can stop their petulant child.
Until they stop him - the reality is that our government is already shut down.

This passive plan is held together by heuristic reasoning & wishful thinking
Could Schumer be more of a loser as an opposition leader?

Vote no on cloture. Use the shutdown as a platform to highlight the pain of those illegally fired, the needless tariffs/tanking economy, and the betrayal of our allies.

They should not pass the CR.

VOTE NO ON CLOTURE!
> Senator Kaine put it with great clarity: “Democrats had nothing to do with this bill. And we want an opportunity to get an amendment vote or two. So that’s what we are insisting on to vote for cloture.”
So it's Yes for Cloture then useless No on the House bill.

Are you saying other people have lives beyond monitoring every stitch that is coming unraveled in our government and Constitution and calling Members of Congress daily to unload about how they need to DO SOMETHING?
cr = Continuing Resolution (the budget bill)
It'll be born from the stuff Bernie and AOC are doing, and DC will HATE it... the corp msm will try to destroy it
Rinse repeat (or maybe not this time)
Just because you're not an open bigot doesn't make you "left".
If you mean the USA Democrats?
No, they're not the left... a handful of them are
The rest are right of centre on an international spectrum
I find myself at night before bed, imagining how I'll begin to setup-shop in the Canadian boreal forest I love so much as I prepare to engage in a decade of guerrilla warfare against shithole Americans (whether you voted or not)
Do something
Hard to be optimistic as the country burns

I really hope this is a suggestion made in jest, because holy fuck if not. This is why you guys are called Nazis so often.
FUCK OFF.
