I'm out of the loop for mental health reasons. Someone fill me in so I don't go into a spiral trying to find it?
Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader. Said he would vote no on the maga funding bills... then the next day changed his mind like the coward he is.
In current Senate Rules, 60 votes are needed to end discussion (aka: cloture) in order to prceed to a vote. republicans only have a simple majority so they would need a few democrats in order to pass the bill. But Chuck the Cuck just told the democrats to vote yes.
🤦♂️
I used to think it was a conspiracy theory that Democrats were controlled opposition but the way they shoot themselves in the foot over and over... It can't be a coincidence that they keep making the worst choices constantly.
They are beholden to the same investors. It's the investors that pick whenever we get rainbow flavored wage slavery or nazi flavored slave-wagery for the next 4 years. It seems that our overlords decided that it's too costly to put effort into pretending that that's not the case, so we got this piece of shit basicially saying the quiet part out loud. I am actually surprised how little backlash from the USA citizens happened so far, but I hope the guilottines get deployed soon, because it gets embarassing watching this farce.
They are DEFINITELY controlled opposition.
"I'm Chuck Schumer and I'm a fucking sellout."
Always has been.
It's fucking sickening. This is the one piece of meaningful power they have until the midterms, and Republicans didn't even bother consulting them.
Now they want to give it up, for what? A pinky promise they'll play nice? To make sure Trump doesn't get ammunition to blame Democrats for everything?
Fucking coward.
He would need to be abandoning some kind of principles to be a coward.
Not the case.
Call your senators, they can still block this despite Schumers push. The vote is tomorrow morning. If all republican vote for it, they need 7 dems. 8 with Rand Paul who has said he’ll vote no. (Republicans are not using reconciliation so it needs the the filibuster)
Many senate dems are publicly coming out against voting for cloture (meaning they won’t vote to let it get through the filibuster). As of what I last read, around 10 dems are thought to potentially vote to let it pass filibuster. Most of those are still not sure. We only need a handful more of those to become noes and it will get blocked. Some yeses have flipped to noes because of public pressure. We cannot let up now

Or call the capitol switch board (202) 224-3121
House dems are publicly telling the senate not to do this (and it’s not just AOC on this - it’s quite a few of them). Earlier read that 7 Dem state AGs are saying the same. Federal worker unions are telling senate dems not do this. Keep the pressure up
lmfao count on the dems for sure because they really care about us lol
The GOP is actively dismantling the government. Why would they care about a government shutdown?
Seems stupid to try to threaten them with one.
Not to mention, they've consistently threatened us with shutdowns up until now, so the democrats threatening one won't work. Heck, they would revel in democrats using something from their playbook.
They're shutting down humanitarianism.
State control/violence and wider imperialism will continue to be fully funded.
