They need to treat him like the rest of the barracks treated Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket.

Yeah it has us old Democrats fuming as well. I saw a poll posted yesterday regarding who was to blame is the gov shut down this weekend... it showed 32% blamed Trump, 32% blamed Republicans, and 33% blamed Democrats. Fuck it, I like those odds. Shut the whole thing down and let the majority of the US put the blame where it is due (Trump/GOP). The Senators could have stood their ground to fight for something, anything, but no, they had to weasel out. I'm happy to see both of my Senators have already publicly stated they would vote no (both on cloture and the CR), but it only takes 7 Dems to screw up the whole thing and we already know several of them will.

He still thinks the old play book will work somehow. Dude needs to get gone. I'm 45; not sure if I am an old Dem or a young Dem lol.

Coming up on 57 here, but come on... if your job is politics, how can you not keep up with what's happening and how things are being done? I'm a computer nerd and I still feel like I know more about what's at stake with this vote than Schumer does.

Schumer has held the NY senate seat since like 1999. How do we replace him?

Liberals are shocked that liberals are doing what liberals always do.

the elite of the democrats are giving their supporters the middle finger to side with the oligarchs? who could have imagined that?

This dinosaur still claiming to represent anyone should have all Democrats fuming

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you actually believe that Democrats have ever represented anyone other than the donor class?

"Ever"? Yes. Recently? No.
