"I fucked you all over then went home and slept like a baby" - Senator Tim Kaine
Sen. Kaine on his vote for funding deal

“I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct. 1, because I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed federal worker would say to me at church”

“if you don’t stop being mad at us for caving to fascists you’re helping the fascists 😡”
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Millions of active, engaged people, who literally less than a week earlier won massive and unexpected victories across the entire country, have now thoroughly learned the lesson that they don't fucking need dem leaders.

That they have to view dem leadership as much of an enemy as the republicans

i wish the "focus this energy on fighting republicans" people could understand why it's not great that the people whose banner we're expected to fight republicans under keep demonstrating how little interest *they* have in fighting republicans

everyone who’s suffering and about to suffer more just needs to hold on until we can get the Good Guys back in power, at which point they will eventually temporarily undo 15% of the prior 4 years’ devastation while huffily chiding anyone expecting more for not understanding how things actually work

i really really really hope people don't embrace the narrative that those eight senators are the only ones we should be mad at because that is *absolutely* the narrative they'd like us to embrace

Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

lift up your hearts and be glad, for montell jordan day is again

(all that is required to celebrate montell jordan day is to listen to "this is how we do it" by montell jordan at least once; inviting others to do the same is encouraged but not required)

anyway happy montell jordan day to everyone except fascists and their pathetic, self-serving enablers

was this what these particular eight senators thought or was this the embarrassing, paper-thin excuse concocted for the eight short straw-pullers from the available pool of senators not up for reelection for another several years
weirdly honest messaging from the breakaway mod/institutionalist leaders who blew up the party strategy

they're explicitly giving up. "It wasn't working so we quit" that's the message
November 10, 2025 at 2:46 PM
i just saw some numb fuck unironically say "staying home is a vote for the fascists" tonight of all nights, the red mark still fresh from the slap in the face we all just received, and you know what i think that'll do, i think that's enough social media for me this evening
November 10, 2025 at 5:22 AM
i would tell @democrats.org i'm a swing-state independent who's voted blue in every election since 2002 and that if party leadership still looks like this in 2028 i will be dead and screaming in hell before i ever do so again, but if anything has been made clear tonight it's that they wouldn't care

as much contempt as we may have for them in this moment it pales in comparison to the contempt they have for us
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting
November 10, 2025 at 4:26 AM
i for one will be remembering well beyond 2028 that democrats not only capitulated to the fascists but they called us stupid to our fucking faces while doing so
None can be primaried in the next cycle, Shaheen & Durbin retiring.

Hassan, Masto, Fetterman up for reelection in 2028.

Rosen, Kaine, King up for reelection in 2030.

Soon in my inbox: Hello, it's the Democrats! We have decided to capitulate and cooperate with the fascists. Please donate between 5 and 50 dollars so that we can hire a marketing firm to help Republican politicians like us better. If you don't give, we won't be able to let them strip your rights!

What is the argument for voting for Democrats for harm reduction if the harm is not fucking reduced
November 10, 2025 at 1:12 AM
i just keep thinking about how they'll still expect us to dutifully line up and vote for them after this

how they'll tell us democracy is on the line

how they'll chide us for expecting anything of them apart from having a different letter in front of their names than the Bad Guys

If the Dems will cave on this there is no right of yours that they will not throw away if it means they can go on vacation.

I hate them with my whole heart.

So yeah, Schumer is fucking awful. But there’s enough Democrats supporting this debacle that it’s obviously more than a one-guy problem. The party that consistently presents itself as the only bulwark against fascism keeps surrendering to fascism.

Moderate Democrats saw that voters were energized and might expect something from them, so they needed to put a stop to that ASAP

ok what if we dressed a couple people up as the imaginary friends chuck schumer runs all his dumbass ideas past and convinced him they've crossed into the material plane to stop him from fucking up this bad

Oh sure you think Chuck Schumer is “caving” and “wants to ruin all the momentum” and “is horrible at politics” but what if I was to tell you that this old crazy man ran the idea by an imaginary married Irish American couple that exists only in his mind and they think it’s great politics
November 9, 2025 at 10:09 PM
well we all had our fun on Tuesday but if democrats didn’t piss a clear advantage down their legs could you even still call them democrats
