    Nobody who said “blue no matter who” in 2024 is allowed to say “what the actual fuck” at this.

    Really disappointed in my Congress woman, Sarah Elfreth. I wrote her an email and she responded with basically “that’s what they told me to do!”

      Gotta share a screenshot of that email if it actually gives any detail, basically confirming the system rigging and complacency from members of said system, send it to some independent journalist or something.

      The idea that our government is a representative democracy is a farce. The machine has too much inertia, too much power and money

    Still “both sides are not the same”? Even if Democrats have slight majority in both or either houses, they still dilute policies to appease the fascists from stonewalling. Meanwhile, the fascists legislate every unspeakable evil policies and Democrats don’t even try to resist as opposition.

      Well yes but they only betray everything we stand for because we didn’t fall in line and back them hard enough. If we’d just licked their boots better, they would gave broken from all their precious behavior!

      So them viciously betraying you to the fascists is your fault actually.

      Only because you didn’t vote for them! If you had voted dir them they would have behaved totally differently!!1!

      Unlike all the other times you did vote for themand they did this exact same shit. this one’s different, don’t be such a child. If you don’t fall in line and lick the boot of the liberal co-conspirators, it will be entirely your fault when ice shows up to take you to the camps.

      I’m confused as to what’s different about this situation? Why is this an impeachable offense, but Biden bombing Yemen wasn’t? Or Trump 1.0 bombing Syria? Or Obama bombing and drone striking all sorts of places that weren’t Iraq or Afghanistan?

      Nobody tried to impeach a president before for taking unilateral non-Congressional-approved military actions, so I’m not clear on what makes this different?

    Rep Paul Tonko is one of the NY reps that voted no to impeach. I work 2 blocks from his office and plan to spend my lunch hour every day demonstrating in front of his Albany office. I already called his office to bitch. I’ve got printed letters that say, “Congratulations, you’re a fascist collaborator.” Going to be stuffing those in envelopes with glitter and putting one in the mail every single day. Give me your best for my protest signs.

      I think “Rep Paul Tonko is a fascist collaborator” works pretty good.
