    There actually are ‘vote blue no matter who’ people? How’s ol’ Chucky Schumer workin’ out? Or Fetterman? Pelosi gonna come riding in on first light of the fifth day with the Rohirrim in tow? Jesus, this is just fucking sad. 40+ years of the Dems just idly allowing the repubs to shit all over everything, and your solution is to support them harder?

    What’s the color of the sky where you live? Are they accepting American refugees?

      Chuck Schumer felt that he had to vote yes to continue operating the government even though REPUBLICANS wrote a bill that PUSHES US TOWARDS AUTHORITARIANISM.

      I don’t like Chuck Schumer but he is better than 100% of Republicans and this vote only occurred because of Republicans.

          You’ve displayed complete ignorance of policy stances and vote histories in the US Congress. Even if you did think Schumer was a right of center goon, he’s absolutely incomparable with a Republican.

          Even if every single representative was another Chuck Schumer, this kind of bill would never come to pass without at least 41 Republicans, 50 if reconciliation were an option.

          Now, Chuck Schumer should be primaried. But if Chuck Schumer wins that Primary, then people in his district better be smart enough to vote for him, because at that point their won’t be any better options.
