Thanks for overturning rowe you old fart. Now scurry off back to your cave and die knowing history will remember you as the fucking moron who helped advance an agenda that set women's rights back decades.

Despite her whines, the reality is Collins only broke with Republicans when she was sure it would make no difference to the vote outcome. She made damn sure to toe the party line the rest of the time.
And she's wrong, sometimes it is enough: Voters have had enough of Susan Collins.
"It is never enough."
Correct, you betrayed the people to such a degree that it cannot be forgotten or made up for by any means. Kindly fuck off and wither in obscurity.
I wonder if she learned her lesson lol
I hope that quote haunts her for the rest of her life
I wish her the absolute worst. I hope she gets the elder care she voted for.
She had zero problems giving Trump 93% of her voting support after voting to impeachment? Tell me that you voted just for appearances, without telling me you voted for just appearances.
“What bigger break could there be?” she asked.

What are we looking at here?
She voted to acquit Trump during his first impeachment. She was the final deciding vote. Fuck you, cunt.
None of Trump's impeachments came close because conviction requires 67 votes in the Senate. His first impeachment only had 1 R vote to convict (Romney) - the total was 48, so they needed 19 more Republicans.
You're probably thinking of Collins being the deciding Yes vote for Brett Kavanaugh, which she was. Despite claiming that she didn't want to see Roe v. Wade overturned.
“I threw a glass of water into the raging forest fire I help ignite! Why won’t you acknowledge that?”
Bitch, we know you only voted to convict because your party knew exactly what the vote would be and how many Senators they could have strategically vote for it without actually changing the outcome.
Thanks for voting to put a rapist on the Supreme Court to take away women’s reproductive rights. Bye Felicia
That sounds very concerning
"It's never enough". We agree on this, it's never enough until she also goes to prison for her corruption.
Random breaks here and there don't count. You need to be consistent. You also don't get points for voting a certain way when:
a) It would have passed anyway without your vote
b) It never had a chance of passing even if you voted for it
There was an obvious answer: last time she went up for election, she could have run as an independent and won. If she’d done that, she probably would’ve won this time too.
Trump isn’t the problem; he’s the symptom. The Republican party is a big part of the problem (but again, not the entire problem).
Don't let the door hit you on the way out... Or do. I do not care. I'm just glad you're gone!
she believed he viewed Roe as "settled law" and "settled as a precedent of the court"
You got used and still pushed his policy.
You’re done.
She didn't get used. They always made sure there were plenty of yes votes to push through the Trump agenda whenever she said no. She never said no when her vote actually mattered. She was playing her constituents as fools.
These amoral ghouls really don't understand that the bare minimum isn't impressive.
I have friends in ME that are (very pleasantly) surprised at this upset. But anyway, Susan, get rekt.
Susan Collins, one of the token senators who was allowed to vote the other way when it almost always made no overall impact.
Get fucked.
these little shits cannot be compromised orvnegotiated with. give them nothing but a noose.
Career politician grouchy she’s not untouchable.
Nothing to see here. Shes done.
Oh, bullshit. Every time she went against Trump it was managed opposition. She only did it when MAGA knew they already had enough votes, and could let her preserve her "independent" image, and keep getting elected. It's extremely common in any vote, for both sides.
So spare me the whining about your sacrifice. It was all manipulation, and we all know it.
Even if the democrats won NOTHING else, this makes it all worth it.
Expecting praise for doing the bare minimum - impeaching, convicting and removing from office a seditionist and a traitor to the country who was caught red handed committing election fraud, is frankly laughable.
You're not a child, Susan Collins. You don't get a gold star just for participating.
Just write someone a strongly worded letter and furrow your brow. That's worked for every other scenario for you, right, Suze?
I hope she gets CRPS, Trigeminal Neuralgia, and Small-Fiber Neuropathy and lives another 30 years.
She could never decide if her job was to lick federal boots or to represent the interests of her voters. As a GOP rep, we have plenty of examples that you can get away with doing either just fine, but not with constantly flopping between the two.
You know what we want. To replace capitalism with communism, you fucking capitalist pig.
I would much prefer Socialist Anarchy because communism often leads to authoritarianism, and that's how you get Tankies.
How are you going to protect the country against fascism if you don’t express authority over capitalists and fascists?
Better question: Socialism is a transitional state between capitalism and… what exactly? First hint: Not anarchy. Call me a tankie all you want but you will not get a classless, stateless society without defending it from capitalist oligarch fascists.
See: China, Cuba, USSR, North Korea, Vietnam, Venezuela, Afghanistan
Expressing authority over capitalists, in U.S. parlance, is called regulation. The US just took a MASSIVE step towards reinstituting the regulation that the Republicans spent 4+2 years stripping., so there's hope at least
They're not going to introduce a constitutional amendment to ban capitalism, or whatever magic bullet you're thinking of, but if we're lucky they might pass universal healthcare.
Oh wow. “Constitutional amendment to ban capitalism” is cute. Ok when that regulation doesn’t work in 15 years because republicans are still in power, how are we going to reach a classless, stateless Socialist/Anarchist society ? You really believe institutional capitalist oligarchs are going to just hand power over to the people because we amend or regulate the constitution? The same constitution written by White slave owners?
Be mad all you want, I'm describing reality. Feel free to describe the steps they need to take to achieve your end state.
Organizing. Strike. Revolution.
For someone who would rather have “Socialist Anarchy” rather than a communist end state, you are pretty reliant on capitalist reforms that, in your own words, republicans can strip away within 6 years, so I ask again: How are you going to achieve this when legislation is stripped by oligarchs?
You’re describing a reality where you rely on fascist overlords to give up power based upon no authority expressed and legal regulation and literally saying “if we’re lucky”. What an incredibly ignorant and weak mindset to have when talking about others rights. “If we’re lucky”… Give me a break. We aren’t lucky. Jefferies is basically telling you as a Blue Voter to give up the idea of free healthcare.
No dude. If we force them. We can not rely on luck. Express authority over your leaders. What you’re describing isn’t even socialist or Anarchist policy, it’s just capitalist reform.
Organizing. Strike. Revolution. is a slogan, not a plan. How can you demand from others what you're not willing to do yourself? What is your plan.
It’s not a slogan dude. Read, that’s my plan for you.
Thousands of people just did years of work to get elected to offices across the spectrum of government and you're sitting at a keyboard telling them it's not good enough.
What is your plan besides that wishful thinking non plan you posted? What ideas do you have to help them? Do you have plans to work with them? Are you going to collaborate with anyone? Are you going to organize? Where's your people, your war chest, your logistical support, your supply chains, your plan.
These thousands of people had a plan, they organized, they protested, they got elected and now they're gearing up to do the job.
what are you doing besides yelling on the Internet?
oh and one follow up question, what the fuck are you going to be doing?
I don't know about that entirely. There's different flavors of everything. We can still utilize the good things from a private economy, but use the tools and framework for socialized safety nets to create a bottom floor for being an American. Then use that as the example for the rest of the world.
It's the carrot and the stick. Not either the carrot or the stick.
