We need a left version of the tea party and primary these people out.
But not as insane, please
The insanity was part of the populism. Sanity won’t get as much traction
I don’t know, sanity is feeling pretty radical at the moment
What the fuck
Normally Democrats only start voting with Republicans at the big donor bills. This is a really weird hill for these Dems to die on.
The donations which were made to the Democratic party paid for these peoples campaigns. Those donations paid to have progressives rat-fucked at the primary level for pieces of shit like this to get through.
I upvoted this but it didn’t feel like enough so I’m adding my own…
What the fuck?!?!
What the actual fuck?!
I propose a new party of the people, The Egalitarian Party, we’ll straight up just use an Eagle as our mascot and take about how important workers and families are. It’ll twist all the rubes around so quick with the messaging and then we give everyone healthcare.
I would like to run for Congress under this party. Here is platform.
What is your take on bathrooms?
Wash your hands.
What is your position on abortion?
None of my fucking business, none of yours either.
How do you feel about government spending?
If it’s creating jobs and providing a service great. If it’s feeding yachts to billionaires fucking stop it.
How will you get money out of politics?
With a fucking guillotine if I have to.
Let’s go, I’m 3000% serious
You’ve got your first cult follower.
There are no followers here, welcome to the grass bed.
We are not cooked but burnt. The Dems are controlled opposition and have been since Citizens United at least.
Triangulation under Clinton was literally accepting all GOP economic policies and enacting NAFTA while merely paying lip service to labor and traditional constituencies. Democrats have been a party largely moving rightward since at least the early 90s. Adopting GOP economics in a seemingly more appealing package meant the GOP needed to differentiate ushering in Gringrich’s culture wars, erosion of comity in DC, and a lot of the other ills we live with today.
Clinton signing the 96 telecommunications act allowed for billionaires to control the narrative. I genuinely hate the Clintons more than the Republicans. They enabled all this shit to happen.
If you are in their districts, please call and show up to protests, town halls.
I am in the rotting corpse that is Missouri so I can only do so much
I probably should have posted that under op.
I wonder how many of them are members of the Federalist Society.
And thats why we’re cooked folks.
Perez’s dad is literally a Mexican immigrant. These people just hate, even their own families.
I don’t like my father or want anything to do with him but I don’t necessarily want him suffering just because.
10 Traitorous twats join with Republicans to censure Rep. Al Green for Trump speech protest - FTFY
As if it wasn’t bad enough that the Democrats were being passively complicit in Trump’s fascist coup d’etat, now they’re being actively complicit in it.
They’ve always been actively complicit.
Of all the news in the past weeks, “5% of Democrats join Republicans in an inconsequential vote” is the least of my concerns.
Nothing but lame ass enablers of fascism. The GOP couldn’t ask for better allies than folks who stand for nothing and just hold signs and dress in pink when people’s healthcare is being taken away the government is being dismantled.
What the fuck dude
Does anybody know if these are safe district Dems or purple district Dems? I do have some sympathy for politicians who use strategic votes that don’t actually matter.
Of the 10 Democrats who voted to censure Al Green, 6 of them are in safe blue districts. They didn’t have to do this at all.

They should have been up there blocking his removal. Instead they’re helping the anti-American authoritarians. Fucking DINOs.
I’m losing a lot of respect for Jared Moskowitz these days. I had been excited to see what his political future looks like because he’s young and sharp, but shit like this makes me think he’s just the same shitty old establishment dem with a fresh coat of paint. What a fucking letdown.
Jesus Christ…
As a European I’ve accepted the fact that the US I knew is gone and we will probably be full-blown enemies soon.
Or government is not the same as it was. That’s for sure
I sincerely hope all of these politicians are absolutely destroyed in the primaries next year, because what the actual fuck.
Did they spell “celebrate” incorrectly.
