Remember when the government was shut down specifically because the Democrats refused to go along with a bill that ended the health insurance subsidies, and they had the Republicans up against the ropes because no matter how much they tried to dodge the responsibility, the majority of people blamed Republican intransigence for the shutdown?
Then remember how the Schumer-led Democrats just completely folded, passed the bill, then stood idly by as the chance to extend the subsidies vanished?
Every single one of those stinking traitorous shitbags needs to be primaried.
So, the problem is the “primaried” thing isn’t enough at this point. People are going to die because of these choices. Eye for an eye.
definitely a comment that would get you banned from reddit
And even though it won't get you banned here, it surely is being documented by Palantir and putting us all on "lists."
Fuck Palantir, it's Google that's the devil.
Don't fear the state, fear the profit driven corporations.
They're the future, and it begins now.
I don’t think you understand the depth and breadth of what Palantir does, and who uses them.
I am fairly confident that's what all these AI companies and GPUs are for to make their own Palantirs or just to run their software. Palantir is basically creating Skynet or any of those cyberpunk type movies where a cop plugs in a persons name and it gives every detail of who they are and a summary of what they did the last week.
That has basically already been done to Palestinians with Microsoft Azure.
Which is strange since Republicans usually love bible quotes.
Fuck this self-righteous political violence
You only say that because you’re in favor of, or not directly affected by, the direction we are currently going.
Paid shill or useful idiot. Either way they should join their masters when the time comes.
The guillotines are thirsty.
The political violence has already been perpetrated upon us. What we are talking about now is political defense against a violent aggressor.
Yes, primary all of them, but ESPECIALLY primary Schumer and Jeffries. They are absolutely toxic to democracy. If someone is claiming it’s a bad idea to primary them, that person is working against the people on behalf of the rich and corporations. Just like current Dem leadership.
Everyone who voted to end it isn't up for a primary, or so I heard back when this happened.
It's like... It was planned.
schumer was protecting the dems that are up for re-election next year, i think there is at least 13 dem seats up(its likely these that are also supporters.
schumer and his DINO acolytes are pretty much gop lite from the start. they had no interest in trying to upset the status quo of the donors. he specifically chose the 8 dems that are retiring or not up for re-election in '26, in order to protect the DEMS that are up for re-election next year. if 8 of them wernt chosen, then 13 wouldve voted to open the govt. look at those 13 DEMS, if they are in your state they need to be primaried.
the airlines are getting nervous so they reminded SCHUMER and thier pets to open the govt back up.
So you are saying this is all the fault of Democrats?
Of course not. Don't be a simpleton.
The Republicans rather obviously bear the lion's share of the blame.
However, that was the Republicans' designated role from the start. Their job was to represent the interests of their plutocratic cronies and patrons by killing a program that spent money to benefit poor people, so they were just doing what they were meant to do and what they were expected to do.
On the other hand, the Democrats' job was to protect a program that benefitted poor people, and they miserably failed at that job. In fact, they didn't even simply fail - they forfeited. They gave up even trying.
And they very much deserve condemnation for that.
the schumers and the dinos were most certainly not to protect programs for the poor, they are to play the "paid opposition of the gop" when its convenient. schumer is at least worth 80+million right now, he has vested interest as any gop to end the govt with no benefits for the constiuents. also the shutdown was indirectly hurting the ISRAEli narrative as well.
You didn't need to add that... This is Lemmy, not Reddit. Come on, now.
Yes - this is not Reddit.
Which is exactly why I'm not going to stand for a poster trying to saddle me with some asinine strawman version of my actual points.
The other poster self-evidently believed that I was either so stupid that I actually believed that "this is all the fault of the Democrats" or that I was so stupid that I'd let that ridiculous strawman slide. And in either case fully deserved a verbal smack upside the head, and that specifically because this isn't Reddit. Leave that sort of cheap, intellectually dishonest bullshit there.
What? The media was making the democrats out to be the ones shutting down the nations airports.
Go ahead and turn on the democrats and further empower the republicans. You might be a russian troll...
So?
Exactly as I already said:
That's what the polls consistently showed, and notably that was in spite of the fact that so much of the media tried to pin the blame on the Democrats.
So your claim here isn't just irrelevant - it's actually part of the support for my position. Yes - the captive media tried to blame the Democrats. But the people weren't buying it.
But Schumer and the Democrats folded anyway.
Nobody is empowering the Republicans more than Schumer and Jeffries and the rest of the establishment Democrats, who can't even be arsed to do their jobs
lol
