From the article, here are the names of the traitors:
Among the Democratic caucus, Sens. Dick Durbin, John Fetterman, Catherine Cortez Masto, Jacky Rosen, Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, Angus King and Tim Kaine all voted for the continuing resolution but 39 of their colleagues in the chamber declined.
The article also speculates that Democratic voters might be angry at them, especially after the election wins last week (GEE, YOU THINK?!), so it’s possible that they’ll face significant challenges during the midterms. I just hope these fuckers all get primaried, but given how the average American voter thinks, I suspect at least a few of those seats may end up going to
RepublicanConfederate candidates.I was wondering how the Democrats would fuck up the election wins last week, and now I know.
I think the traitor that bugs me the most is Kaine. What happened to America’s friendly uncle VP candidate? Looks like he was a typical Democrat after all.Got some names confused, disregard this last bit.You might be confusing Kaine with Walz? Kaine was Hilary’s VP pick in 2016, Walz was Kamala’s pick last year (holy fuck, has it only been that long?).
You’re right. I got the two confused.
Tim Kaine is from Virginia. And Virginia had a far more direct impact from the shutdowns as a lot of workers in Northern VA are government employees or contractors. I’m not surprised he was trying to work across the aisle. I’m surprised he thinks he can take GOP at their word.
You’re right. I got him confused with Walz. That’s what happens when I complain online before coffee.
39 of their colleagues in the chamber declined.
typical Democrat
Contradictory here, given that we know the typical Democrat didn’t cave in this instance.
Shame on these Democrats but does this mean they can release the Epstein files now?
