    I don’t care if it’s cloture or the actual bill itself…

    There should be zero Dems voting “yes” on any-fucking-thing these MAGAt bastards want.

    Blatant and complete obstruction is the only way to play this hand for the foreseeable future.

    Those Dems that do vote yes… 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕

      Cloture vote required 60 for passage, final passage is only a majority. Cloture is literally the only time the minority party can assert itself, and they just gave it up.

    Jeanne Shaheen already announced that she’s not running for reelection…and she STILL voted for the CR. Not to mention that 4 of the other Dems are from the bluest of states.

    What fucking bullshit.

    But Fetterman just blasted the Dems for showing up at a fight with a casserole. How did he turn to then serving the casserole?

      It’s interesting that no one in the media talks about how Fetterman was one of the most progressive politicians, then he had a stroke and started taking the maga side on a lot of things.

      It tracks with a lot of other anecdotal evidence (e.g. Tila Tequila becoming a nazi after an aneurysm, some lady in a recent Channel 5 video said she became pro-Trump following a head injury in a car accident, a couple of people in my personal life, RFK Jr. obviously). I’m not saying all magas are brain damaged - there’s many different reasons I’m sure. But someone’s gotta at least start asking the question. There is at least this study which ties brain damage to religious fundamentalism, which isn’t exactly politics but it’s pretty darn close.

        Yes, let’s not forget the country has been taken over by religious zealots who believe in the rapture among other things.

    When party stops representing the people it is time for the people to begin representing themselves.

    I just contacted both my senators to thank them for their no votes and to encourage them both to work on removing Schumer from his minority leader position.
