That's exactly what the yes votes today signaled: there is no bill bad enough for us to block it. As bad as this one is, the next one will be magnitudes worse and include all sorts of horrors. - ThreadSky

The next one will be the debt limit and like my God, they're gonna fall all over themselves to eat a double shit sandwich on that vote.

This is exactly it. Aside from the outcome, it’s just terrible negotiating to announce on national television that you’ll basically do anything to avoid a shutdown. It’s basically a blank check for the future for absolutely no political gain. Imbecilic leadership from a strategy vacuum

Most obvious consequence ever. jfc

The cowardice blows my mind. I just don't know how we survive even the next year at the rate this is going. I feel like I'm losing my mind, like nothing makes sense. How is it possible that all of this illegal and illicit garbage is happening, and people just shrug it off?!

The lack of a coordinated opposition to the CR accelerates the slide away from Democracy. I do not understand how two Jewish senators did not get this.

If they couldn’t withstand a shutdown threat, how the hell would they hold strong in the face of a debt default?

Better confirm Dr. Oz. What high US taxpayer paying job can the Democrats approve for Musk's toddler son?

It’s not even a hot take at this point that the clowns who run the dnc want bad shit to happen

Because if everything was good and normal, how would they even fundraise?

The biggest mistake the Republicans made was pushing the next deadline out to September. Should have just done it every 30 days and get whatever they want every month.

That would have played too much in the Dems favor, too much actual leverage to block the agenda, consistent public outrage and they might not actually cave the next month

detiber.us•2 days ago

6 months, though

The call volume and protests against the Dems calm down to focus on more pressing issues

Then rinse & repeat

It speaks to just how bad the Democrats have been at this for, well, since at least the open Supreme Court position in the last year of the Obama administration, if not longer.

Many politicians don’t actually care about democracy, they just want a cushy job with a good salary and amazing perks (official or otherwise)

Both parties have been bought since Citizens United.

Exactly. Dems have given up all their power and have proven to trump that he can run roughshod over them. Disgusting.

And they will be able to pass that one under reconciliation because if the parliamentarian says they can't the Republicans will just fire them and ask the next one.

Thinking that the Dems are going to put up a fight has been thoroughly demolished today. I think everyone was hoping that somewhere, sometime they would show a little backbone.

I'm afraid they are a lost cause. They are every bit as greedy and cowardly as a lot of people in the GOP.

Nine Democrats voted for cloture - Judenratë shitheads just sold us out to the Nazis

alissaevenson.bsky.social•3 days ago

Unless you weren't counting King who I guess is technically an I

broccolee.bsky.social•3 days ago

You’re right count is now 10 - so corrected:

Ten Democrats voted for cloture - Judenratë shitheads just sold us out to the Nazis
