"But what if instead of telling people that we're going to make their lives materially better, we just tell them that Trump is bad, or better yet say nothing at all!" -Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, probably.

I have yet to see anyone explain how Schumer was supposed to force the Republicans to break. They were perfectly happy to let the shutdown go on indefinitely, the public be damned. The shutdown was a trap.

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov

The shutdown was never going to achieve any more power for Dems. I was shocked when they first capitulated but it was necessary when so many people were suffering, that was about to get much worse. A government system that shuts down is stupid and really should be corrected.

Absolutely…we must keep fighting to bring in new leadership who will join us in standing up against this corruption

I’d love to see Elizabeth Warren as speaker. She’s not afraid to speak out, especially about billionaires taking over our government.

Bullshit. Ezra, you’re position is no more justified or morally correct than those you oppose. You promote blind lockstep rather than responsible independent thought. How are you not dividing us anymore than Republicans?

Fuck yeah.

This purity test garbage turns my stomach.

#It didn't win so if it's primaries for the status quo you best believe all those who caved will not get a 'x' from TRUE PROGRESSIVES

👍

Democracy counts on opposition. I’ll happily support other candidates for senate/house (could someone take on @reptedlieu.bsky.social he’s become such a disappointment). But after the primary whoever wins I will vote for. I’ll be damned if I let more people suffer with MAGA running things

agree. being able to do better and stepping forward to do it are not the same thing

We hope they'll be progressive candidates. There's no more "vote blue no matter who." The establishment must go. Universal Healthcare Food Housing Education Equality Justice Womens rights Tax the rich Infrastructure Climate Unity Joy Dreams for all should be priority. Humanity first! Global!

Usually I agree with you. I think you’re wrong on this. It’s a very good thing the government reopened when it did. Public opinion was turning on the shutdown and people would start blaming democrats because so many people are uneducated and uninformed.

As far as I’m concerned, Fetterman is the only democratic senator that needs to go. And….he’s MY senator and I voted for him. And, now, I’m ashamed of him. We do need younger leaders, but where are they? Maybe N0W they are showing themselves? I hope so.

Get out, Chuck. Just go
