what actually is the point of the democrats

Hassan YES.

That’s it. Cloture passed by democrats to allow the CR to be enacted. Vote ongoing but the 8 Dems defected to get it across the line and it will get 60.

Every dystopian western RPG needs NPCs who do nothing.

Need an actual opposition (leftist) party. Two right-wing parties gets us this.

To beg for votes and money every few years and when we elect them into office with a majority, they never do anything.

They can't govern and they don't do anything when they have power. They want your money

To beg for money and maintain the corporate controlled status quo while giving the people just enough every few years so that we don't roll out the guillotines. We need to primary the lot of them and take the party back for the people.

And if that don't work there is always the guillotines.

To text people asking for money so they can sit on their ass and not do anything, I guess.

worth remembering that way more than these 10 would've voted yes if necessary. but these 10 aren't up for re-election in 2026 so they're safe for long enough that people will forget this
