  • Virginia resident here. I already messaged Kaine (still no response) about his vote to cave. Now, because of this post, I’ve just messaged Warner to demand that he condemn Kaine’s vote and disrupt leadership by removing the whip and leader from their positions. Kaine isn’t up for reelection in 2026, but Warner is. And he has a primary challenger.

    Contact your senators, even if they didn’t cave. This should be the end of Schumer’s career, and we need to make it clear that those 8 will not give them cover. Inaction and silence are complicity.



  • Same, but email instead. I said that he must be fucking braindead to have done this, and I explained how every supposed “win” of this deal was worth nothing and that he should’ve been suing on our behalf instead. I also told him that all he bought was up to 7 weeks of relief and the ability for people to fly home for Thanksgiving and Christmas, just in time to spread a flu/covid epidemic at the exact time he torched people’s access to healthcare.

    Between the DNC leadership overhaul, how united Dems in Congress were over this, and then the huge election wins last week, there are just no words for how goddamn disappointed I am in these greasy, traitorous cowards.


  • I agree with everything you said except for calling this a midterm election. Midterms are next year, and primaries are ramping up, so NOW is the time for everybody to start researching and supporting ideal candidates so that you can have a shot at being proud of your vote at the general election.

    Fun fact: of the eight non-Republicans to cave, exactly ZERO of them are up for reelection in 2026. To be clear, 2 of them have terms ending at the start of 2027, but they’re both retiring and therefore not running. Nobody will remember this in 3 years, so they’re suffering exactly zero consequences for this sellout.



  • They can have their advanced waifu bodypillows, and I’ll still make fun of them like I do the weebs with their regular waifu bodypillows.

    But realistically, the broligarchy manchildren are the exact people who worship Elon Musk, and Elon Musk is the exact guy championing the idea that white birthrate decline is a horrible tragedy and we need to have more white babies. These losers will need to choose between their robo waifus and their techbro visionary prophet, and musk will have to choose between making the product in demand by his fans or his Nazi white genocide ideology.

    I think they’re most likely to agree on trying to making all women into free use breeding objects that “real alpha men” are allowed to stake claim on without consequence. In other words, legalize rape for white men. It sounds absurd, but five years ago you wouldn’t have believed me if I’d told you that he’d do some public sieg heil Nazi salutes within a few years.


  • I’m terms of policy, yes. But a lot of dipshit blue collar workers believe the propaganda from Fox News and adjacent outlets, and their propaganda says that the republican party is the party of the working class, so a lot of the working class votes republican. These people believe what they’re told instead of using critical thinking skills to observe and analyze the actual actions taking place. Some of them are finally starting to wake up, but they’ll fall back asleep the moment somebody more palatable than trump rises up and keeps the pain focused on marginalized groups instead of leaking out to hurt rural whites so much and so obviously.

    I hope that AI development makes the internet and social media so dogshit that it pushes people to spend less time in online echo chamber spaces and more time in person with actual people face to face. We’re radically divided due to algorithms slapping us with culture war bullshit, so we’re forgetting that so many of us are united in wanting comfortable homes, affordable food, leisure time and money to enjoy with our families, and peace of mind that we’re safe and secure. Crying about trans athletes does nothing for my family, but my father in law being furloughed during this shutdown due to an insistence on taking healthcare away from my sister sure as shit impacts my family.

    Of course I don’t want people to suffer, but some people will just never see what the fuck is actually happening until it affects them or people close to them. And those of us who already know are just that much more pissed off when these people only just now start to figure it out and cry for help now that it’s hurting somebody other than the out group. And it’s gonna be extra infuriating when they forget all about the pain they were finally exposed to and turn around and vote for it all over again. Mark my words, trump is not the last fascist these people will have sold their decency to support. They will forget where it got them within weeks.





  • So then we’ll become a true democracy? Right now, land is getting more equal representation than people are getting.

    Soon: “In a 200M to 130M decision, the SCOTUS has ruled that abortions, sex work, and weed are legal, student loans are predatory and hereby forgiven and future interest rates capped, and income over $1M in a year is taxed at 100% while corporate tax rates have been raised to 70%. The increased revenue will fund healthcare, social safety net programs, and boost infrastructure programs. In other news, the execution of the traitor in chief will be at the Capitol at noon and be televised live to deter future attempts at fascist takeover. Thankfully he was stupid enough to accidentally give power to the people.”


  • Theydies and gentlethem. Kings and Queens and In-Betweens.

    But yeah, a lot of people are gonna die, and I’m not sure whether that’s from resistance to this or punishment for not bowing hard enough fast enough.

    We had one black president and a third of the country lost their fucking minds, put a fascist in charge, and nuked our standing on the world stage now and forevermore. Hard times are coming, and that third deserves worse than they’ll get, another third won’t realize what’s happened for weeks, and the final third will be the “alarmists” saying I fucking told you so.
