Remember when Republicans shut down the government for 43 days, specifically to prevent Democrats from saving these subsidies? And then the Democrats caved for no reason and got nothing? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I haven't been too keen on Democrats since maybe always, but they've usually been the better option and their liberal populism can be influenced quite easily so it's usually the better choice.
But between Israel and this last fiasco with literally abandoning the ONE good thing their party pushed through, the ACA marketplace subsidies (which was still pretty anemic considering) I will never forget what they did. I have been directly harmed by these rat bastards.
I don't have any illusions that we're going to build a third party, our country doesn't currently work that way. But I sure as shit am going to help advocate for flushing every old-guard, establishment Democrat out of office as soon as humanly possible. Useless, steaming pile of old-money fucks suckling at the Republican's teets.
schumer specifically, hes the one orchestrated it behind the scenes, he only was against it publically, because looks bad in optics. he holds all the cards in funding senate campagins, he has as power as mitch did with the gop. hes more or less the DINO(GOP-LITE) version of mitch.
He is highly despised right now, by EVERYBODY. He sat by and allowed MAGA to happen. While McConnell could get anything done, even without a majority, Schmuckie can't do anything, even when he had majorities.
He's been incredibly weak, cowardly, and corrupt, when we most needed a warrior. AOC could easily humiliate him in the primary, the way she did Markey to get her seat.
And Schmuck shouldn't be alone. A LOT of Dems should get primaried next year. They'll either lose to a more motivated candidate, or they'll get a clue, and start doing their jobs.
hes basically a AIPAC stooge, much like mitch is moscow mitch. hes distinctly remember a post/sub discussing it was 13 others dems that were being shielded from being primaried, so they took the 8 that wernt up for election next year. i think its the 13 dems that are up for elections in '26, im betting its those 13 that also support the end of shutdown but couldnt because of being primaried.
Pepperidge Farm had to be sold due to medical bills. Now he is sucking dick behind the 7-11 for chemo medicine money.
Somehow still members
I wouldn't be surprised if what the Dems got was certain names redacted from the about-to-be-released Epstein files in exchange for ending the shutdown
PROBABLY the major donors. and then theres thiel who has been in with epstein since 1990s, yea he recently dumped his stocks as a way to shield his assets.
