Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Be sure to contact these representatives and let them know how disappointed you are.
They could give a fuck. Primary them when it's time.
King is an independent so for sure he doesn't give two shits, but the dems can and should fear for their jobs after this event.
None of them are up for re-election soon, most just started their 6 year term and others are retiring.
They all planned it. These are just the fall guys.
It's why Schumer organized it. By the time they're up for reelection, people will have forgotten.
Durbin isn’t running again.
I've been poking my Fetterman voodoo doll extra lately.
Oh, so you're the reason he had that fall lately! Good.
Who do I tell? Their answering machine? Their poorly paid staffer who has to answer calls?
Maybe I should just go talk to my front door knob, or quietly whisper my complaints into a pillow. It would accomplish the same thing.
Every single congressman has a contact page and a little box to tick requesting a response. You type their name into google followed by contact and you send them an email. I feel like I shouldn't even have to explain this to people, this is really basic shit.
Here, look: Email Jacky Rosen
Do that.
If we all can't be bothered to do that most basic shit as telling them what we want, then we probably deserve this hell, because sure as fuck our enemies are speaking their demands to them.
They all wear such nice suits!
Do these people really represent us?
I don't judge people by what they wear, the last one who couldn't bother to show up in attire was Fetterman and he's a piece of shit.
They are both worse than useless but I’m actually more upset by Jeffries. We have known for ages who Schumer is, never should have gotten a position of power. I remember Jeffries coming up though, he was sold as this new, young, dynamic and progressive face for the party. But he is the oldest young person in America, he governs like someone even more out of touch than the crypt keeper he replaced.
Convincing the working class to hate raising taxes on their rulers was the most effective thing rich people have done to solidify their wealth.
It really puts into perspective who is a fool and who is not. Unfortunately, the fools are in the majority and think they're smart because of it.
But they promised there would be a vote on healthcare! They promised!
In equally obvious news, oceans are big, mountains are tall, and the Dem leadership needs to go.
The Democrats shot themselves in the face. Again. Like they always do. And let the entire country know that they are just as spineless, unreliable, duplicitous, and useless as everyone thinks they are.
One bad apple spoils the barrel, and the Democratic party ~~tolerates~~ embraces a lot of very bad apples.
Sad when these ballsacks show more resolve than your average American. Longest shutdown in American history is more than anything anyone else has done.
I dont know who still needs to hear this, the democrats wont save you. They arent able to. They were bought and sold long long ago.
Yeah fuck Schumer, but let's also not minimize the Americans voter's role in this.
The Republicans control every part of government becuase they were voted in... now those voters are like "wait, we voted for assholes, we don't want them doing asshole things!"
Well, tough shit... Part of me is glad the Dems are failing, the same way I have zero compassion left for the farmers and workers and all these other assholes that voted for Trump and are now going to go bankrupt or lose their heath insurance.
At some point, it seem Americans will only learn once they are on the street eating dirt.
I'm just so fucking tired of Republicans starting illegal wars, striping personal freedom, destroying economies and STILL getting elected, because Democrats are always out back in charge long enough to start cleaning up.
Well you know, fuck it then, if these dipshits want 2000$/month premiums, let's spin the wheel Boris.
Yes but what doe The Man On The Street think about the latest quantum computing advacement? Is it A Good Thing, or A Bad Thing?
