would probably be best to see durbin as a whip in the sense of making sure everybody shuts up when a bunch of the party wants a three day weekend and to clock out early

I am once again begging everybody to get together and draft a new constitution without asking the people operating the current broken one for permission or input.

Once again, Chuck Schumer losing leadership is not a thing you have to wait four years for. It can happen tomorrow. Every single day, every single hour, Democratic senators are not demanding. It is a capitulation to changing nothing. I can do nothing too. You have no idea how easy it is.

Blue MAGA’s sniveling little out was always “we have to get better Democrats, we have to win first and then make change.” You’re lying. This change doesn’t happen while Chuck Schumer is caucus leader. If you’re pretending otherwise, you’re not worth me listening to, so don’t tell me who to vote for.

You told us to suck it up over Cop City. You told us to suck it up over the complete lie on the $2000 checks. You told us to suck it up over a goddamn genocide (hey, remember that? The genocide? Weird how we just stopped talking about the GENOCIDE). Your strategy has failed. You may sit down now.

If I were asked for evidence that Dems just wanted to go on an uninterrupted vacation, my exhibit A would be that no one can even attempt an explanation as to why they voted this way

if you keep cooperating, it doesn’t matter how much you scream about fascism and our democracy being at risk. the cooperation itself indicates to everyone watching that you’re just being hyperbolic. bc if democracy were actually on the line, you’d behave as if you were facing an existential threat.
