You DONT Understand! They COULDNT do ANYTHING except Vote to Confirm because they NEED Donations!
Donate harder and maybe they’ll consider doing something!
Welp, Duckworth just lost my vote.
The dnc is a sunk cost.
You want a country where you can live free, you’re going to have to take it yourself.
Dont worry though, that will be some other generations problem. Most of us will just have to live through the enshitification of everything. Cherish these last days. You may never see any like them again. You might even wake up one day and think, the status quo was like being stuck at the top of a Farris wheel. Scary, and uncertain but the view was amazing.
I agree. I have stepped away from party activity. They are on their own. There are other better avenues for organizing right now.
Including Cory Booker… 🤷♂️ 🙄
Was everything he did recently just as performative as with MAGAts??
Way to put up roadblocks and speedbumps when it really counts Dems… Feckless Fucks. 🖕 🖕
Keep that energy, know your enemies, all of them.
Never forget, next time they do a performance remember!
Of course it was performative, it all is.
No shit it was. He wants to run for president and he knows that stunt will make headlines but this will be buried in comments where the headline is “16 democrats vote for trump nominee” (aka exactly what is happening here)
Booker is classic neoliberal, no ethics or morals, guided by money and power. 10-15 years ago he was deeply in the pocket of the pharmaceutical industry because they are huge in NJ. Then his aspirations went higher and he realized that association was harmful, at that point he had connections that made him no longer reliant on their cash, so he shed them. It’s not growth, it’s a calculated move
I recall that he was also in favor of charter schools, which made him non-viable for me years ago.
I hoped that maybe he had a real change of heart last month, but I guess that was just a publicity stunt.
I wonder who he’s going to pretend to date for his next run.
I had hoped he was going for redemption. Feckless moron doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell of being president

Of course it was. It was just a political stunt to pump up his street cred as a warrior, in advance of an eventual announcement for a presidential campaign.
Then he votes for the MAGA Nazis.
He’s a collaborator.
Yes it was! And please look in folks’ comment histories, the tankies were the first ones to call this out.
so blocking the appointment of the U.S. ambassador to China, in a vote they can’t win looking at the numbers, helps the revolution how?
Because its not about winning, its about taking a stand.
You don’t give NAZI TRAITORS a single vote of support for ANYTHING. They are Nazis, they are the most corrupt and treasonous administration in American history, and any support is collaboration, even a single vote.
and how far should it be taken? shut down the government? occupy buildings?

Way more
how will you vote
I’ll vote just fine because I don’t live in a shithole country.
But Jesus Christ- Imagine being American and thinking voting was going to save you in 2025
how will you vote?
It gets taken as far as required to crush MAGA, bring their treasonous, corrupt leaders to justice, and purge MAGA from our government, society, and the world.
MAGA is literally the same as the German Nazis of the 30s and 40s, and they will be operating death camps, just like their heros. They are already building a camp in Guantanamo Bay to hold 30,000 people, out of the sight of the media and the courts. They’ll send foreigners to El Salvador, but they’ll send Americans to Gitmo.
Are we supposed to wait until they have killed millions, and have people say “Gee, why didn’t someone stop them before it got that far?”
how will you vote?
This is how Democracy works. We had an election and America chose Trump. Hard to believe but it happened. America comes together to let that person lead until the next election, this is how America is supposed to work. It is sad that so many people don’t understand how the system should work.

I never thought the election was rigged. Political rivals talking shit about eachother isn’t anything new. I’m not sure exactly what you are crying about but the election is over.

I think everyone should support whomever wins the election as that is the will of the people. That is how democracy works. Whoever wins in 2028 I will do my part to support, that is my responsibility as a citizen that supports democracy.

Yes. America chose him. He won the election. The citizens selected Trump. The voice of democracy has spoken.

David Perdue not the worst option. Former politician, former CEO of Reebok. At least it’s a businessman and not a Xenophobe, any aggression between the US and China I think will be very squarely not his fault.
All the politicians are paid by the same billionaires.
But the blue ones say they are my friend and the red ones do not.

They will end up in camps anyway. At least they will deserve it.
Yes correct. Because fundamentally there is no significant difference between Democrats and Republicans. Money and favor buy votes across the aisle the same as it buys anything else regardless of political affiliation.
We have 2 parties, the dems (center right) and the republicans (fascist)
I’m forming a new party called the “Guillotines for anyone with more money than me party”
We’ll guillotine anyone with more money than me. That’s my whole platform. I don’t have a lot but I’m comfortable. If you also don’t have a lot but you’re comfortable boy do I have the party for you!
The Democrats never actually opposed fascism, they just invoked it because they knew it was unpopular. The problem of the Democrats is that you can’t constantly run on things you have no intention of following through on, without having voters stop believing you eventually.

So who will you vote for the next “election?” Supreme Führer Trump and his league of cartoonish evil, or the spineless cowards who will do nothing to make things better?
dems are as crooked as the rest. nancy does insider trade since decades and chuck schumer is just evil ignoring what israel does. or remember the black fig leaf obama? nobody has ever ordered more deadly airstrikes in countries you are not at war with. i think this entire “american dream” thing was just metaphoric for a modern form of slaves and kings. just think of it: who were those that left europe for the new world? sleezebags, greedy goldsearchers…just ppl who were bad anyways. and thats what their entire fake culture is built on.
Broken link.
Who and for which position?
Not my question at all.
Which position and who? People are up in arms over a potential good choice, but i have no way to know.
Sorry, David Perdue for Ambassador to China
A guy with literally 0 State department experience, and a single term in any elected office.
Like, dude probably has some contacts in China but this appointment makes no sense.

All politics are performative. Blocking Trump’s appointments would be a sign that they’re willing to fight for democracy…but they aren’t., so they don’t.
This is just more evidence that every time Dems blamed not being able to enact their promises on Joe Manchin, there were always going to be just enough Democratic “defectors” that their donors didn’t really have to worry.
