Democrats are not your feiends. They are controlled opposition. I think this guy really has it right.
OK…so….I’ve been sitting here thinking I’m crazy for not understanding the democratic strategy and after watching that video it all kinda falls into place in my mind now.
Yep, its all so clear now.
I recall an infographic that I cant find at the moment. It showed congress as red, blue and purple over the decades, and he is spot on about the timing of congress splitting perfectly 50/50.
They just pussed out - didn’t want Trump to end SNAP
And if anyone wants the see the CBC Massey Lecture he referenced:
https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/the-1988-cbc-massey-lectures-necessary-illusions-1.2946843
42 of 50 voted against - “NoT yOuR fRiEnDs”
That doesnt mean there are 42 “good ones”. The ones that voted yes are the one chuck thought would be safe since they arent facing re-election in 2026. 42 no votes could be entirely theater.
It does fucking matter when you blame people for something they HAVEN’T DONE.
Why did you put “good ones” in quotes. THEY DID EXACTLY WHAT YOU FUCKING SAID YOU WANTED THEM TO DO, you flighty, erratic, nonsensical morons.
42 no votes could be entirely theater.
Stupid fucking baseless conspiracy theory. Was Bernie in on the “theater” as well? Imagine being such a stubborn dumbass that you think you have the right, without evidence, to claim that those 42 secretly wanted to vote for the deal.
Go ahead, disengage from politics altogether. Fully hand the country over to Republicans. Who even fucking cares anymore?
Money talks. The donor class needed 8 dems to end the shutdown and turn on the money fountain again, and they got them. If they had needed 25 dems to cave, they would have gotten 25. If it was (somehow) critical to maintaining their wealth that 40 republicans vote for the “Trans and Immigrants are Actually The Best Bill”, then 40 republicans will vote for it. Congressional outcomes have nearly nothing to do with voter preferences, you can look up studies on exactly how that has become totally desynced the last century, especially since Citizen’s United.
Citizens United is where this country really went wrong.
Can you do some leg work for us and link a study or 2?
This is probably the most famous one, all the way back from 2014! https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-politics/article/abs/testing-theories-of-american-politics-elites-interest-groups-and-average-citizens/62327F513959D0A304D4893B382B992B
And here’s an OK video on the study (more biased than the study itself but very easy to understand): https://youtu.be/5tu32CCA_Ig
And this study contains a lot of great links and references if you want to go deeper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0261379421001256
This guy gets the best healthcare for life. Fuck him and everyone who voted to end the shutdown.
Snatching Defeat from the jaws of victory, good ol’ dems. Never letting a simple thing like success get in the way of the bullet they so badly want to marry to their foot
“My job is to keep the left pro-Israel.” -Chuck Schumer
Literally not working for us. They work for rich government contractors who want to get paid.
Open enrollment for Health Insurance for my state assistance ends December 15th. This just let the Republicans win.
There will be a lot of families without insurance or with premiums with a 90% increase that families won’t be able to pay because they just let it roll over year to year without checking.
Schumer voted against the deal. Place blame where it belongs:
John Fetterman
Catherine Masto
Jacky Rosen
Angus King
Maggie Hassan
Tim Kaine
Dick Durbin
Jeanne Shaheen
These are the ones who caved.
In fairness, it wasn’t Schumer this time.
I call bullshit on that. He didn’t personally cast a vote, but you can bet your ass this move emanated from the highest levels of the DNC.
Yup. It’s all kayfabe.
Everything Chuck says is just calculated and performative, just like when Josh Hawley pretended to give a shit about the impacts of the BBB on Missourians.
Watch Schumer answer questions about Israel or Mamdani and you’ll see a lying weasel who thinks he’s funny/cute while he’s lying to us.
He thinks he’s our grandpa pulling a coin out of our ear and winking and leaving us in awe…
No way he didn’t sign off on this. I wouldn’t be too quick to let him off the hook.
EDIT:

He is the Senate leader, of course it’s on him.
Not only that, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they’re all either retiring or not up for reelection until 2029.
He organized the vote, he secured the votes, he set the schedule and did everything to make it happen.
Don’t be fooled because he voted against it at the last second. He’s the goddamn senate minority leader, none of this happens without his oversight. They are treating the American people the same exact way Trump treats his base: like you’re an idiot and can be fooled easily by pageantry and performatism.
He handpicked democrats that they felt were “safe” and arent up for re-election in 2026.
This is classic DNC as controlled opposition. DNC and RNC are the same thing.
Its time for a new progressive party. Its time to go scorched earth and tank every election untill they not only allow progressives in the DNC but actually embrace them. I think its the only way to get reverse citizens united.
Senate Minority Leader Schumer
He’s either complicit in this scheme now that local elections are over, or ineffective at wielding the whip and keeping his caucus in line. Unless there’s a big public schism and this gang of eight get cut out, then he’s also feckless to boot.
I’m talking scorched earth retribution too, there needs to be a message sent and received to all in the party that breaking ranks for self-interest will cost them and their careers personally. Nobody gets to fold without consequence when the rest of your party’s elected members risked themselves and their position.
The Grand Old Party and the Controlled Opposition Party once again collude to fuck over everyday Americans after a very extensive Kabuki show.
You know… if I was a Russian disinfo gremlin desperate for something to pivot to after the whole “my name is Mamdani” spanking they just got I’d probably also be trying to amplify the whole “The Dems are cowards” messaging. Problem is that, thanks to years of their machinations, more people are actually checking sources and reading details now. Good.
No need for Russia to do or say anything in this case, Democrats did this to themselves
If Republicans pulled this shit on John Thune, he would primary the crap out of them.
What is Schumer going to do?
It IS his fault.
Chuck Schumer joins Merrick Fucking Garland, as Americas greatest failures ! Useless fucking cunts, who sold out their country!
Schumer joins the republicunts in telling us to just lay back and let it happen…
Chuck the cuck has got to go!
