There’s some relief that the government shutdown is over, but Democrats are more likely to say they’re frustrated about the deal that ended it, and that their party compromised too much.
By a wide margin, Americans say it was Republicans and Trump who succeeded in getting more of what they wanted from the negotiations to end the shutdown.
Most Democrats think their own party’s congressional Democrats compromised too much. Most Republicans say their delegation’s approach to compromise was about right.
No shit Sherlock. Schumer has to go and Jeffries needs to follow.
Be sure to contact these representatives and let them know how disappointed you are.
They could give a fuck. Primary them when it’s time.
King is an independent so for sure he doesn’t give two shits, but the dems can and should fear for their jobs after this event.
None of them are up for re-election soon, most just started their 6 year term and others are retiring.
They all planned it. These are just the fall guys.
It’s why Schumer organized it. By the time they’re up for reelection, people will have forgotten.
Durbin isn’t running again.
Who do I tell? Their answering machine? Their poorly paid staffer who has to answer calls?
Maybe I should just go talk to my front door knob, or quietly whisper my complaints into a pillow. It would accomplish the same thing.
Every single congressman has a contact page and a little box to tick requesting a response. You type their name into google followed by contact and you send them an email. I feel like I shouldn’t even have to explain this to people, this is really basic shit.
Here, look: Email Jacky Rosen
Do that.
If we all can’t be bothered to do that most basic shit as telling them what we want, then we probably deserve this hell, because sure as fuck our enemies are speaking their demands to them.
The Democrats shot themselves in the face. Again. Like they always do. And let the entire country know that they are just as spineless, unreliable, duplicitous, and useless as everyone thinks they are.
One bad apple spoils the barrel, and the Democratic party
toleratesembraces a lot of very bad apples.Yes but what doe The Man On The Street think about the latest quantum computing advacement? Is it A Good Thing, or A Bad Thing?
Here’s a harsh reality: Americans were divided about the shutdown along the same lines they have been polarized already, and this after-poll reflects that. I don’t think anyone changed their mind during this whole thing. Would pushing it to the point of actual empty stomachs done that? I am not sure anymore. All the rules are different in the information age.
Stop blaming the whole party for some ass hats who need primaried…
Especially now that the DNC won’t throw it’s weight behind them in those primaries. They’ll be on their own and weak, but all 8 won’t have a primary until a new chair is seated.
They’re betting on people checking out and neoliberals being able to regain the party in time for their next elections.
I will continue to blame party leadership until they kick the traitorous assholes out of the party entirely.
Then your goal isn’t a non biased party…
You want a party that interferes in primaries.
Which is incredibly shortsighted and counter to the bottom-up power structure that a democratic party would have.
Go moderate the republicans if you want a top-down power structure. But if we can only pick between the two, any gains would be temporary and the wealthy will seize control of both.
