It sounds like a bunch of Democrats want to cave in exchange for no concessions whatsoever. Edit: Bloomberg has more details
Current likely Democratic votes for this:
- Shaheen - NH
- Hassan - NH
- King - ME
- Fetterman - PA
- Peters - MI
- Durbin - IL
- Warner - VA
- Kaine - VA
- Ossoff- GA
- Warnock - GA
If you want to change things, you need to call their DC office NOW, and leave an email if you can’t.
Edit 2: enough Democrats joined the Republicans to reopen the government with no real concessions.
The list:
- Durbin
- Hassan
- King
- Cortez Masto
- Kaine
- Shaheen
- Rosen
- Fetterman
- Schumer
- Gillibrand
There was a caucus meeting right before this, so the bulk of the Senate Democrats were likely OK with giving in, even if not willing to vote for it in public
Probably need to get your lenses checked, because how you took that comment speaks a lot to how you see things and it sounds like you need a new prescription. This is a post about Democrats caving to the GOP once again, so the comment fits the context.
Are they wrong in stating that the cowardice and unwillingness of Democrats to put up a real fight for the average person paved the way for not one but two Trump presidencies? Trump is a symptom.
I took that comment exactly as it was stated:
Trump fucked America, and apparently… lol- it’s somehow the democrats fault. It’s laughable logic at best and definitely shouldn’t be taken seriously.
Alright, enjoy demonizing your allies because your views are so binary. You’re just as much of a hindrance to the leftist movement as the people you complain about.
I’m not sure how to simplify it further for you. It’s not the fault of the Democrats, but they’re partially responsible. It’s entirely fair to call them out for doing it again.
If someone comes to your door and says “let me in I’m going to rob you”, and you say “no” but don’t close the door, lock the door, or do anything to stop them (similar to the performative opposition we see from the Democrats) do you bare no responsibility for the outcome? Sure, you’re not the robber, but you were warned and didn’t do anything.
You seem to think criticism of the Democrats = someone saying they’re Fascists just like the Republicans. Sure, that idea is out there, but now you’re just painting everybody with that brush. You and MAGA seem to share more similarities than you think.
ROFL…
Ya gotta love the polarized ideology of the typical lemmy denizen. I’ll eat my shoes the day one of you show even a rudimentary understanding of the concept of nuance.
And if you aren’t rewriting the points of others to argue against- you’re not saying anything at all.
Narrator: Not literally, but expected to be taken as such.
