| Sen. John Fetterman (I-PA) and seven Democratic senators angered the base by voting for opening the government without any compromises. |
So the Senate compromise is advanced to the House. The House will vote on it and the federal government will reopen.
Six Democrats and two independents decided to break from the rest with approval of the Senate Minority Leader to vote to reopen the government. The promise is to not let subsidies for the Affordable Care Act to expire which triggers insurance premiums to rise for millions who depend on it when the ACA Marketplace opens.
Okay, Sens. Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Jeanine Shaheen (D-NH), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), John Fetterman (I-PA) and Angus King (I-ME) fucked up big time. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) definitely fucked up.
After the Zohran Mamdani mayoral win in New York City, Democrats had energy.
Midterms next year.
These senators not only depressed the energy of the Democrats, they put the competitive Democratic seats in states President Donald J. Trump carried in danger of flipping.
Now the calls are big.
Schumer must step down from leadership or resign from the Senate so New York Gov. Kathy Hochul can find a replacement. The calls for him to leave are big. On top of that, they demand that if Schumer leaves, she better not replace him with a pro Israeli Democrat.
Fetterman is the most vulnerable senator come 2028. He likely faces a Democratic challenger or a Republican challenger. He may take the route of Kyrsten Sinema and end his term so it will be a competitive two person race. But if he stays, he will be a distraction.
The shutdown has resulted in a major disruption to SNAP benefits, leaving millions of Americans in limbo regarding access to food stamps, and has also sparked disarray to air travel across the U.S. Furthermore, thousands of federal workers have been either furloughed without pay, or ordered to still turn up to work despite no new pay checks.
The Democrats will have to build a different ground game now that President Donald J. Trump will get to appoint up to three new Supreme Court nominees again.
No more mocking the white angry voters. No more taking advantage of the non college educated voter. Democrats need to get into the business of troll farming, disinformation, grievance politics and less about identity politics.
No more idol worshiping. The Republicans worship Trump.
The Republicans worship greed, hate, getting in people's businesses and sexual predatory behavior. If a Democrat has a sex scandal that doesn't involve legal ramifications, fucking ignore the allegations. I am serious. If there is no criminal conviction, it's an allegation.
Ignore the calls to leave but clearly state why you carry baggage. Because if you care about changing the city, district or state you want to represent, your personal problems cannot outweigh the actual problems constituents face.
Folks, the Democrats must end the rules of engagement. They need to kick out the filth.
End their support of Israel, stop pandering to win votes, embrace embarrassments and stop trying to be friends with MAGAland.
Blue MAGA is a threat too. Because they are too cozy with religion, apartheid, income inequality and racism.
The Democratic Party is now conservative while the Republican Party is now fascist.
The Democrats are ignoring the progressive base.
No more happy clappy liberal.
I am sorry Stephanie Miller, Laurie Daniels Favors, Zerlina Maxwell, Reecie Colbert, Clay Cane and Thom Hartmann: we ain't winning on being positive. I think it time to go negative and embrace the right's definitions of the left.
I am not advocating for violence but I will no longer condemn it if it's done in the name of politics. I am tired of trying to push for issues that are ignored.
I will now be an independent. I will not support the Republican Party or Democratic Party any longer. I am going to stay progressive on most issues involving domestic and social issues. Show some conservative stances on finances giving that things are more expensive and the focus is more on home meals and no longer eating out.
I am no longer tolerating mass texts from Democrats. No more polls. No more we need you.
I will not worry about Biden, Trump or any future president. They will have costly mistakes and proven successes. I must accept it.
If the Democrats get their act together, maybe they might have a shot in 2026. No reference to gun violence.
