This was the only bit of leverage democrats had, the future of US democracy now lies with the judiciary, any future elections will be a farce.

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

unfortunately he cant be removed till the end of his term, but he can be removed as senate minority leader, immediately, and removed from all his committees. Lets see if the dems have the stones to do that. If they dont, they are all complicit.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

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... 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕

[–] marine_mustang@sh.itjust.works 79 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 27 points 1 year ago

The cloture vote required 60 senators. That was the only chance for Democrats to stop this bill. He (and the others) then voted no, so they could say he voted against the bill, but they knew damn well that only in the cloture vote they actually could stop it.

[–] DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 80 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Dick Durbin always seems to find a way to be on the wrong side. I have no idea why he keeps getting reelected.

That's the last time I vote for Gary Peters. Good riddance. Fucking cowards!

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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

[–] rigatti@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

His brain is casserole after the stroke.

Fetterman was either bought or blackmailed by AIPAC.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fetterman was always fake. The people in his hometown know. It's just that against an even worse fake he can still look okay

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

Yeah, he or Dr Oz, that was really a shitty choice.

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

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 13 points 1 year ago

That time was around 50 years ago.

[–] marine_mustang@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] oxysis@lemm.ee 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is why we need a real party of the left rather than fascists and fascist-lites. Because when push comes to shove the fascist-lites will always side with the fascists and betray the common man

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Agreed, the Dems are a lost cause and this is yet another time they’ve proven it.

Was this the swamp that needed draining?

Jokes aside, I can't see why a swamp would need draining beyond the needs of expanding suburban sprawl. Leave the wonderfully diverse ecosystems be, to flourish and rot in peace.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 21 points 1 year ago

I don't know about various state laws, but if those states happen to have recall abilities, now would be the time to recall those senators.

If you believe the Democratic leadership is truly against the Republican agenda, you are being duped. It’s all kayfabe. They’re all rich and corrupt, and they all stand to gain from this.

Seems like he did it, because he has a very important book tour https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/3/14/2310308/-Schumer-s-Book-Tour

And fighting for us would mess up his schedule.
