@GottaLaff The Democratic Senators value their privilege over their obligations to their constituents. To them, their office is a prize, not something to be used to further the good of the people who elected them.
So far there appear to be 2 Dems saying they will vote for cloture. That's not "The Democratic Senators", that's exactly two.

@GottaLaff
This is classic class warfare crap. Unfortunately too many ignorant people didn't see it that way 4 months ago. They'll learn but unfortunately so will the rest of us that saw it coming.
@GottaLaff yay for AOC!! Whatever so called strategy the Democrats are planning it’s not for a coup or the loss of democracy- they think they can wait until the next election and they can be the lesser of two evils. They do not understand the moment they’re in
@GottaLaff from the outside I’m convinced by now that a big part of the democrats are fine with the fascism of the republicans as they are gaining from it as well. Any semblance of opposition is just to make it seem like there is an actual choice.
It makes sense though as liberals all over the world tend to side with fascists.
I really wish there was a left wing party in the us…
@mastodonmigration @GottaLaff I’m bothered that she makes no attempt to unify. The language feels slanted. Very similar to her attacks on Pelosi that turned out to be wrongheaded. I’m not saying this is the right choice but to present it as though it’s just capitulation instead of a calculated risk just doesn’t feel right. The propagandists are doing a full court press to demonize Dems & they rarely side on the correct side. I’d put money that in their TLs is an I can’t vote for Harris post..
I think we need to start recall elections on a lot of these people in congress.
@BuckRogers1965 @GottaLaff The only Congress representative mentioned in this thread is AOC. Are you suggesting a recall election for AOCs place?
AOC literally says, " just to see some Senate Democrats" Did you read the actual post? Welcome to a block.
This is the person Pelosi torpedoed in favor of another old school politician.
@GottaLaff
A-effing-men!
Tho I might lose my federal check til it's finished or lose it instead to Maga bee ess? Daaaamn, this is frustrating!
@GottaLaff There's a danger Trump may make the furloughs permanent. He's not interested in preserving the functions of the US government.
