No, it is the Democrats fault for the shutdown in a way (hear me out). Those messages are illegal but they are kinda right. By choosing to cave and getting virtually nothing in exchange, the DNC cemented the complete uselessness of the grandstanding act. Together with the Republicans they are responsible for unnecessary suffering because they folded like a cheap suit. What was even the point? Why not just give Republicans whatever they want from the beginning if you’re going to bend over and gleefully call them daddy?
It was a daring strategy, but now I wish you had never even tried. Now you think you’re going to fight them in court? These people don’t give a shit about the law. You’re just going to keep getting fucked harder. Nicely done. I guess the party is getting exactly what they want.
I apologize dear reader but I am angry.
Do we have a list of the senators who caved? I want to see if I need to primary somebody.
Edit: Here is the list:
The problem is that all of the traitors aren't looking for re-election in 2026.
Clearly the Democrats chose the ones who are most able to take the fall vote yes. An obvious ploy, yet I still see a bunch of people who won't accept that they've been betrayed.
