Fetterman is not a democrat, I don’t care what letter he puts in front of his name. I’d be curious to see what these folks’ reason for voting for this is, because it’s been made abundantly clear over the last 20 years or so that neither party gives a shit about shutting down the government to get what they want.
Another Joe Manchin.
List, to save a click:
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
- Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania

- Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii
- Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois
- Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York
- Senator Gary Peters of Michigan
- Senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire

May the primaries be ever not in their favor.

The secret-ballot vote to pick Connolly over AOC was 131 to 84 in a closed door Democratic caucus meeting, so it’s not just Schumer who’s the problem. Even if people are ready to primary these 10. There are still systematic issues with the party that will slow down any progress. It is going to be a hard fight going forward vs Super PACs and Billionaires pouring resources into opps.
Not even American but just seeing this Fetterman guy’s name fills me with rage. This right here is a prime example of the worst kind of politician. Absolute fucking lying snake that suckered everyone in with falsities and by pretending to be something he’s not. This is a guy who is just begging to be fucking dragged out into the streets and pulled apart by angry rioters.
Spineless twats. Primary them all
It’s time for general strikes and riots honestly. The rich and their minions have no fear and they need a fuck load of it.
The six billionaires who own most of the media will never allow that.
“There is no off-ramp,” for a government shutdown, Schumer told the Times. “The off-ramp is in the hands of Donald Trump and Elon Musk and DOGE. We could be in a shutdown for six months or nine months.”
That’s exactly how they get you to vote for these shitty bills every time. Fucking fear over what will happen if you don’t cave. Nothing gets better if you give in to bullies every time.
You can’t threaten someone with a government shutdown if they are already trying to defund the government.
If they were trying to do that literally, they wouldn’t have even made this bill.
They need to be primaried out.
Every single one of them.
Remember this list in two years!
If Schumer was interned in Auchwitz he’d offer to tune up the ovens so people would burn faster and suffer less.
If you aide fascists, you are a fascist, and should be treated the same.

Good! If Democrats DONT piss off their Voters then HOW will they Court the Republicans who will NEVER vote for them?
Moderates and republicans often vote dem especially in the case of Trump.
It’s the leftists that sabotage their own elections, screeching “genocide Joe” until Trump gets elected. That’s who Dems should stop courting.
Source? I feel like this is true but would love to point to a source when I share this with my circle.
Brilliant they just need to capture the moderate republicans fuck anyone else!
Fetterman…
Fetterman has been increasingly right-wing since his stroke, I fully expect him to switch parties.
Wow. More than I expected.
Ffs. If there is a toilet, we aren’t the lid. We are going right to the sewer.
