The following Democrats [and one independent] voted to advance the Republican continuing resolution, which was backed by President Donald Trump:
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
- Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
- Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada
- Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii
- Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois
- Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York
- Senator Gary Peters of Michigan
- Senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
- Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
- Senator Angus King of Maine, an independent who frequently caucuses with Democrats
Hawaii has been sucking recently
Was this the swamp that needed draining?
Jokes aside, I can’t see why a swamp would need draining beyond the needs of expanding suburban sprawl. Leave the wonderfully diverse ecosystems be, to flourish and rot in peace.
traitors!
Add them to the list.
I don’t know about various state laws, but if those states happen to have recall abilities, now would be the time to recall those senators.
This is why we need a real party of the left rather than fascists and fascist-lites. Because when push comes to shove the fascist-lites will always side with the fascists and betray the common man
Agreed, the Dems are a lost cause and this is yet another time they’ve proven it.
Traitors. Get rid of all of them.
As a very dumb person, is what the Dems that voted for this said wrong? Is there a chance that Asshat Trump and his Billionaire Butt Buddy would go on an unchecked rampage without Congress in session? Or is that just bull crap? I don’t know enough about how everything works when congress shuts down.
No, that is the flimsiest of excuses. First of all, how could the presidents rampage more beyond what has already transpired? Secondly, republicans love to throw tantrums and shut down the govt all the time. This wouldn’t be much different except it would show the dems are actually willing to fight with the tools they have. Unfortunately, Schumer’s maneuver shows they are not. It’s beyond pathetic.
Primary everyone on this list.
Cuck Schumer primary assfuck him immediately
unfortunately he cant be removed till the end of his term, but he can be removed as senate minority leader, immediately, and removed from all his committees. Lets see if the dems have the stones to do that. If they dont, they are all complicit.
Many Democrat peers are urging AOC to do just that.
How would she be able to do that?
It’s as complicated as filing two short forms with the FEC and raising a minimum of $5,000 specifically for a senate campaign.
So to answer your question, she would file 2 forms with the FEC + have someone give her $5k.
She can run for Schumer’s seat. She lives in NY, she’s been a citizen for over 9 years, and she’s over 30 years old. Those are the qualifications.
Schumer isn’t up for re-election.
He will be eventually. That’s the process to primary him.
His current term ends on January 3, 2029.
Today is March 14, 2025.
This was the only bit of leverage democrats had, the future of US democracy now lies with the judiciary, any future elections will be a farce.
He’s not up for re election.
Let’s not water down the term “traitor” during, well… you know.
I don’t care if it’s cloture or the actual bill itself…
There should be zero Dems voting “yes” on any-fucking-thing these MAGAt bastards want.
Blatant and complete obstruction is the only way to play this hand for the foreseeable future.
Those Dems that do vote yes… 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕
The cloture vote required 60 senators. That was the only chance for Democrats to stop this bill. He (and the others) then voted no, so they could say he voted against the bill, but they knew damn well that only in the cloture vote they actually could stop it.
Cloture vote required 60 for passage, final passage is only a majority. Cloture is literally the only time the minority party can assert itself, and they just gave it up.
Jeanne Shaheen already announced that she’s not running for reelection…and she STILL voted for the CR. Not to mention that 4 of the other Dems are from the bluest of states.
What fucking bullshit.
Doesn’t want to jeopardize her payday after her term ends.
Dick Durbin always seems to find a way to be on the wrong side. I have no idea why he keeps getting reelected.
Fucking scumbags
Cowards. All of them need to go
I just contacted both my senators to thank them for their no votes and to encourage them both to work on removing Schumer from his minority leader position.
That’s the last time I vote for Gary Peters. Good riddance. Fucking cowards!
But Fetterman just blasted the Dems for showing up at a fight with a casserole. How did he turn to then serving the casserole?
Ironically we are the ones who are cooked
His brain is casserole after the stroke.
Hey that’s an insult to casserole
Fetterman was either bought or blackmailed by AIPAC.
Fetterman was always fake. The people in his hometown know. It’s just that against an even worse fake he can still look okay
Yeah, he or Dr Oz, that was really a shitty choice.
When party stops representing the people it is time for the people to begin representing themselves.
That time was around 50 years ago.
