@nberlat.bsky.social I know this may sound crazy but have you ever considered that we are fucked because both parties are infested with rich fucks who like being rich at any cost

Rubio is going to be the first to fold in the administration. I think he is the only one who actually has morales and will crack with all of this. Thats why I think the democrats voted for him.

dantlux.bsky.social•4 days ago

No but really, why did they vote for Rubio? I don't get it. Are they hoping for something in return?

originalcanfan.bsky.social•4 days ago

"technically he's qualified" (vom)

nberlat.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think probably it's a combo of "we should be collegial" and "this guy used to sort of be serious once."

tomscud.bsky.social•4 days ago

also "this guy is the best we can possibly expect from the trump admin" (which might still be true)

nberlat.bsky.social•4 days ago

I think after trump's victory they were all kind of looking for a way to signal, "I am reasonable and respect the will of the voters!" rubio seemed like the thing.

nberlat.bsky.social•4 days ago

so, basically, a combination of spinelessness and insularity.

dantlux.bsky.social•4 days ago

OK I get it, but Rubio was always a paid liar. He is from Florida (which will be eaten up by rising oceans) and he stands up and says climate change is not real.

nberlat.bsky.social•4 days ago

I mean, you don't need to convince me!

They simply do not get the times we are living in.

‘No on everything’ should be tattooed in reverse on all their foreheads so they see it every morning when they’re brushing their teeth.

barbcapo.bsky.social•4 days ago

yes, sadly they did.

nberlat.bsky.social•4 days ago

Tammy Duckworth, also a security expert, voted for Rubio. not sure what they're telling themselves now that he's performing exactly as you'd expect.

I keep going back to every pundit that says we have to open our arms to Trump voters who change their mind.

I sort of wonder what happened behind closed doors. Marco Rubio is a well known waffler on Trump, after all.

I just have to wonder what it feels like to sell your soul. To know that your quest for power has subordinated your will to an orange blob that doesn't care if you live or die. Does it hurt, I wonder?

I'm pretty sure cognitive dissonance does as much as it can up cover it up

And they focus on the power part, no matter how useless that power is

drosbocc.bsky.social•4 days ago

Rubio was the only one remotely qualified. And remember Jeff Sessions? Rubio is the only one who might end up saying no to Trump.

nberlat.bsky.social•4 days ago

this is nonsense.

drosbocc.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not saying it was right to vote to confirm him. And no need to be rude, Noah. I’m just speculating.

tracyqloxley.bsky.social•4 days ago

If ever there was a time for Dems to be the party of no, it is right now.

lexical-lushes.bsky.social•4 days ago

i suppose he's not really wrong, in a sense - america, the state apparatus, is very much throwing itself behind trump, as evidenced by the dems all confirming their guys.

paratrooper957.bsky.social•4 days ago

Shut up you little runt!!

spifferella.bsky.social•4 days ago

How the fuck are they justifying it? 😧

nberlat.bsky.social•4 days ago

I haven't seen any of them address it.

uncertainarch.bsky.social•4 days ago

"best" answer might be some realpolitik about turning his seat into a special election for the '26 midterms, but also since it's FL I expect they'd still lose it by 5-6 points

shawn-holland.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thanks @warren.senate.gov and @markey.senate.gov , I'll be looking for people with spines next election
