MODERATORS
 

Here is the list of spineless cowards who think capitulation is an effective strategy against fascism:

  • Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto
  • Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois
  • Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania (basically a moderate Republican at this point)
  • Sen. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
  • Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia
  • Sen. Angus King of Maine
  • Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire

If you live in any of these districts, your senator is a fucking moron. Sorry.

Those eight are just the rotating villains of the week. This capitulation was planned and carried out by the entire DNC leadership, particularly Chuck Schumer. Schumer was in close touch with the eight throughout negotiations, and arranged the timing with them.

The Democratic Party is not on our side. No politician is going to ride in on a white horse and save us. If we want our species to survive, we're going to have to save ourselves.

In other words, we need a general strike.
