I think now is as good a time as any to remember that despite Chuck’s poor decisions, this is a republican bill written by the GOP and passed with every Republican in tow and a very small number of DNC (if it can even pass with Chuck’s blessings at all).
This problem exists because of the Republicans. Screw Chuck, for sure, but Fuck those Republican traitors.
The elected Republicans are largely doing what they said they’d do to get elected, whether or not they’re good people or support good policy, they’re representing what their constituents voted for.
It doesn’t matter if every R is worse, an R wouldn’t have Chucklefuck’s seat, which is why he needs to be primaried out next time, and we hope whoever does that can faithfully represent the will of the people who elected them.
The 10 Dems that supported this fiasco are not representing their constituents and those constituents have no recourse under the law to fix that other than just waiting to hopefully not get tricked next time. Traitors deserve all the ire they get.
I have a different view. he had two bad choices available and he chose the worse one.
he and the establishment Dems (hehem, Biden) as well as turncoats like Lieberman/Sinema/Machin/Fetterman who were inexplicably allowed to caucus with the party) are precisely why we’re here today watching the rise of fascism and oligarchy. from failing to seat a supreme court justice under Obama, sabotaging Bernie (twice), fielding awful presidential candidate after candidate, allowing the military to expand endlessly, not codifying Roe (and doing nothing in response to it’s overturning), to censoring Al Motherfucking Green…
the entire “opposition party” looks weak and disorganized and incapable of fighting every time a crisis arises. the party needs more progressive leadership and they need to realize that sometimes it’s appropriate to break a few rules and take risks on big power plays. and forward popular plans that will actually energize the base.
these ‘play it safe’ supposedly harm reducing tactics are why we’re here today. they had 8 years since 2016 to come up with ways to combat trumpism and the best they could do, after flopping on the election and then peacefully handing over power to a sociopath and a nazi billionaire - was… write an op ed in the New York Times.
I’m done with this group of shit heads. there are better senators who should be in charge. we need people getting mad and breaking shit, not another patronizing speech about having patience until the next midterm.
Patience for midterms? God no, we need to be supporting the DNC starting yesterday. There is no waiting for Midterms, we need to be contacting representatives, holding up signs, attending rallies, deep canvasing today.

The question is, why is one of those Republicans the Democratic leader in the Senate?
No matter how many continue resolutions Schumer votes for, Schumer will never be as bad as the best Republican.
