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
Good thing those primaries are not fixed or fucked with at all. I mean unless they where completely ran and ruled by the party, but that would be madness. Really a great thing that they are so important that the process is protected by laws and not completely left to the whims of the very body of established people that would benefit from say stacking the ballots, or back room dealing away “problem” candidates.
I mean only a joke of a nation would have only two parties AND also not enshrine into law the process of how those parties elect representatives. The only thing that would be crazier is if they also invented some sort of “election” collage to further fuck with voting and lock in the same two party system.
