An enraged Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) again lashed out at Senate Democrats over what she called Friday evening an “inexplicable abdication.”

They knew they were going to get crapped on for this. I’m glad she’s saying it, but Fetterman and Schumer don’t give a shit you can believe that, and I see no reason to think the rest of them do either.

fetterman is a no brainer in voting for it, but the others have same donors as the gop probably threatened them to pull funding thier livelyhood.

My YES vote is not an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR. My YES vote is [100 percent] about refusing to shut our government down. I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos. -Fedderman

For fuck sake man, have you looked around? Shutting down everything and nerfing this tool’s ability to direct anyone to do anything would be less chaotic than it is right now.

You can’t blame him. He is brain damaged. That’s why he’s conservative. He’s the only DEI hire that should be removed.

alot of stroke often turn into a nutty right winger, or a nutty right winger christian. tila tequila, kevin sorbo, or had brain damage from other sources. i was watching a video of someone with schizophrenia and how he fell into the right wing/fundamentalism rabbit hole and said it was a very dangeorus mix.

It’s frankly incredible just how devoted the US Democratic party is to losing. They’re so ridiculously ineffectual.

They are paid to lose thanks to bribery (lobbying) being legal in the USA, go check who are their biggest donors.

Some guy in a young democrats group called me out for being stupid in 2005 when I held the position that lobbying was bullshit.

“Well how do you get your needs met and points heard?”

“Because it’s their fucking job and if I have bribe them to do it, the whole system needs to be shut down”

“You just don’t even understand what you don’t understand”

“I think I understand enough to call it out as bullshit”

They are a manufactured opposition, and crucial to the success of the fascist coup. Americans should remember that when the civil war starts, and hold them accountable.

Ten years ago I would’ve called you a conspiracy theorist. Now however, I am in agreement. We need a new party for the working class because both parties are a bunch of filthy traitors.

She needs to run for NY Senator in 2028. Schumer and Gillibrand both voted yes.

That would be great, but we’d still need two progressive Democrats to primary the NY Senate seats.

Interesting thought, she potentially could put Obama as VP to flip their lids as well. The 22nd amendment says ‘no person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice’ it doesn’t explicitly preclude service by succession if the president resigned or died. Not that I’d hope anything bad for AOC but it would be funny to see the reaction.

I want her so bad as president, but I don’t know that misogynists would let it happen. I think there’s way more misogyny in this country that we expect.

Why is she surprised? These Democrats are the people AOC endorsed.

It’s right there in the article.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

That is what Democrats have always done. AOC endorsed these people. This is not a surprise to anyone who paid attention the last 20 years.

You’re blaming the wrong person, but it has reached the point where people need to seriously consider what the point of the Democratic Party is if they won’t even offer a token resistance.
