They are useful idiots.

I checked. She did. "Maybe we can come to compromises to fund parts of USAID" Sen. Duckworth Urges Democrats to Not Impeach Anybody and Get Back to Work; If They Win Majority | Video | C-SPAN.org share.google/BYwAt9N0NlCh...

The distortion is also institutional: politicians learn that the loudest online faction can punish them faster than a broad electorate can reward them, so “compromise” becomes a shield against accountability.

It's really about the 989 billionaires and whatever they can buy for more control. bsky.app/profile/gell...

You do realize that the US audience for X/Twitter is only ~20% of its total? There is a lot of news that reaches people outside of the US thru it.

Dems aren't gonna do anything about Musk. Kamala thinks Biden was too mean to him.

Ah, oh well. At least others will still see it, at any rate.

Truth.

That 18% is important because of the Senate and EC structure and related House gerrymander.

Funding USAID could save hundreds of thousands of lives. That's worth giving up pointless impeachments in a Senate that won't ever convict. She's not saying don't fight, in fact she literally said she would fight. She said try to do things that might actually make the world better.

Continuing the nonimpeachment precedent will do more to hurt programs like USAID’s In the long run than appeasement will.

Exactly the sort of BS that got us here in the first place.

Well, chances of getting to 67 will be impossible so it's probably pointless. There are other ways to hold Trump's feet to the fire.

He’ll still get at least 75 million to vote for him in 28

Yup. @jenrubin.bsky.social , @chrismurphyct.bsky.social , so many that should know better, still holding up X as if that’s the only place to publish their thoughts

Right-wing Dems have been like this before social media.

X is the problem

I say with 100% certainty that Duckworth, as a former member of the military,has donors whose livelihood depended upon the funds given to US Aid. And they want their funding back. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Trump’s approval rating.

wait just a second finding a compromise on USAID $ is less important then a symbolic attempt to impeach, symbolic cause it will surely fail ? is that what you are saying ? or are you saying the compromise is equally bullshit ?
