Just for the record, this is what democrats always do, and it's why they keep fucking losing.

Democrats would rather have trump than have a social-democratic platform, and it shows every time they have the opportunity to fight him and chose to capitulate instead. The democrats aren't a left-wing party, certainly not now, and arguably not since FDR.

Do-nothing Democrats strike again.

Schumer is a coward and a fraud. The weakest leader in a generation. He should resign in shame.

"you mean if I suck some Republican dick I could make a whole bunch of money?"

-Chuck Schumer, allegedly, as he's being railed from behind

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social -2 points 11 minutes ago

with this much effortless casual homophobia i'm surprised you're not a trump supporter

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 18 minutes ago

My initial reaction is anger, but hearing his reasoning, I fear that he might be correct.

"People will not forget!"

Ron Howard: "They Would."

Perfect encapsulation of the state of the Dem leadership:

"Chuck Schumer caving and saying he’ll vote for a blank check for Trump and Musk is demonstrative of why Democrats lose," lamented progressive activist and writer Jonathan Cohn. "Voters so often don’t believe what they [Dem leadership] say because they don’t believe what they say."

(Emphasis and clarification in brackets mine)

[–] Hoomod@lemmy.world 17 points 1 hour ago

Literally less than 24 hours after saying democrats wouldn't support the CR

Absolutely pathetic

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 42 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Schumer is a traitor, capitulator and collaborator.

his response to ice literally kidnapping a man for speech was three paragraphs of "oh yeah totally fuck him hate how fucking Arab he is" before finally saying "but this might be a little bit wrong? uwu" and asking for reasons rather than fucking demanding he be released immediately.

Chuck "blackbagging might be wrong" Schumer. between him and Amy I wonder how much worse a family can get.

fascist collaborator piece of shit.

'People Will Not Forget'

They always forget.

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 3 points 42 minutes ago

Oh damn I'd forgotten about that

[–] stopdropandprole@lemmy.world 50 points 7 hours ago

opposition party? these motherfuckers may as well be on the same goddamn team.

[–] loaf@sh.itjust.works 65 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

I quit. American politics are a circus sideshow full of dancing turds. At this point, let it burn. The side that I vote for won’t even stand up against this shit, so what good is my vote now?

Just a bunch of rich assholes doing whatever they want.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

That's why the American people have to do it themselves. Take to the streets. The system has failed you. No one will save you but yourselves.

Come to Europe. We got ice cream and free healthcare. Also you don’t need a gun to protect yourself when going out for a walk.

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

Gonna need that free Healthcare after I get done eating all of that ice cream.

[–] littlebrother@lemm.ee 13 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I think those of us who want to leave cant..

I mean I KNOW I'm fucked, I'd save my wife...but who would accept us? Likely not one single European nation.

[–] Master@lemm.ee 9 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

All of them will if you have a million in the bank... If not then its a long hard road.

[–] littlebrother@lemm.ee 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly...I'm not rich.

So we're fucked.

[–] FreeRangeMustard@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

Don’t need to be exactly rich.

What are the obstacles to taking this step? Is it only a financial matter? What is you and your wife’s profession? You can pm me if you want to.

[–] FreeRangeMustard@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

That’s not exactly true. There are countries who welcome you if you have like some useful skills.

[–] OutForARip@lemmy.ca 25 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

It won’t burn on its own. It will only get worse if left unattended.

"The Republican bill is a terrible option," Schumer said in his remarks. "It is deeply partisan. It doesn't address far too many of this country's needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option."

You fucking twat

[–] suburban_hillbilly@lemmy.ml 84 points 9 hours ago (20 children)

OK democratic leadership, you win; I'll quit voting for your party.

[–] killabeezio@lemm.ee 8 points 3 hours ago

I said the same shit to my senators and Schumer https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/message-chuck. If they don't vote no, I won't vote Dem ever again. Tired of it.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

And vote Republican instead? Yeah, that'll show'em.

[–] leftytighty@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 hour ago

your braindead take is exactly how you got into this mess

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world -3 points 2 hours ago

"I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option."

What's his reason for saying this? How does a government shutdown give Trump more power?

[–] wedge@lemmy.one 1 points 22 minutes ago

I say this with no sarcasm whatsoever... Its not like anyone is opposing Trump anyway so what's the point of capitulating and preventing a govt shutdown... There is no point other than bending a fucking knee.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago

If the goverment shuts down, the buildings and agencies will be empty, because all government workers will be home. But DOGE and Musk arent government workers, and theyll have unimpeded access to EVERYTHING, with absolutely nobody to observe what they are doing.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 19 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

A congressional recess during shutdown means that nobody would be left to hold Trump accountable. Except, they're already not doing that, so...

[–] orcrist@lemm.ee 20 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It doesn't. He is lying and he knows it. I won't attempt to recreate his spin, because it doesn't make any sense.
