This follows after four democrats voted against the War Powers resolution.

Pathetic, incompetent leadership.

    does this include fetterman. can we stop pretending he is a democrat. honestly this is a problem with our parties. they don’t want to kick anyone out lest they officially be listed on the other side.

      Lieberman, Sinema, Fetterman, Schumer…there’s always one, and usually just enough to ensure we never have the votes for meaningful opposition.

      If too many of them are vulnerable in an election year, then there’s always the senate parliamentarian. Or some such bs.

    Could have done something with the war powers thing and you didn’t. Why should anyone believe you’re willing to do things you never seem capable of doing even when you could? Kick the ball Charlie Brown.

      Pretty sure the Merriam-Neo-liberal dictionary defines it as

      Vow 1 of 1 Verb

      1. To promise solemnly for a short period and then do a 180.

    I’m tired of the “warnings”. Just do it. You get no brownie points for talking about what you’re supposedly going to do.

      im not sure if I would want to be one if they did. the republicans will all drink the koolaid of whoever manages to control their party atm. I want independent canidates that will not necessarily toe the party line

      They know that. Their game is to find out how to make it look as much like they’re trying to resist without actually effecting change.

      The current neo-liberal democratic leadership and members do know how to act together. They coordinate very effectively to pretend to give a shit by making sure that they have just enough “opposition” and cover to make terrible decisions to not fight back.

      The current Democratic leadership couldn’t lead themselves out of a wet paper bag much less having the spine to do something as bold as that.

        Totally agree. Current Democratic leadership is utterly worthless and in practical effect the same as if the Democratic Party was led by republicans. Its a predictable outcome of the alleged pattern of “strategic voting”.

          Today’s democrats are basically where 2004 republicans were and we’re supposed to be excited about them winning somehow. Fucking overton window.
