The negotiators argued that Republicans’ “flat refusal” to move on Democrats’ earlier proposals made clear that “this is the best possible offer we could secure.”

You fucking twats

Fetterman is already a traitor to his constituents, so no shock there. But the rest are cowards.

"They are steadfast that they won't negotiate on the health care credits."

Yes, and they have no way to justify that stance, particularly while people are furloughed and going without benefits. The stronger they hold that posture, the more it highlights that this is their stance and the more they show who they are to the people that can still be saved from MAGA madness.

"People are hurting and going without their SNAP benefits"

Yes, a problem which is entirely of their own making with absolutely zero justification and in open defiance of the law and the courts.

"We've guaranteed a vote on the tax credits in December."

A completely empty gesture. You have already said that they were stead fast against it. They would not even negotiate on it while you had leverage. Now you have no leverage. The outcome is already clear and your guarantee means shit.

"We included in the deal that all the fired furloughed workers will be rehired and all furloughed workers will be given back pay."

So, backpay for furloughed workers is already supposed to be the law. And I'm pretty sure that firing them during furlough is probably also illegal, or at the very least it's simply unprecedented behavior. If they even follow through on this part of the deal, and I'm not sure that they will, A) these are not wins for the Dems, these are a wash. Like your bully steals your lunch money and a teacher makes him give it back, but otherwise gives no consequences for the theft in the first place. The consequences of the theft were corrected for now, but the root cause, the fucking thief, has not been corrected. B) Absolutely nothing about these goons' behavior has been in good faith. And all of these agreements, ultimately, end up going through Trump, anyway, who doesn't give a fuck about your deal with anyone and would love to screw you over. So... what did you gain?

You are cowards. You negotiated with terrorists. That's what they are. Ideologues who were intentionally, callously, and even gleefully inflicting pain on the American people even before the shut down, to instill fear and ensure their ends. You finally had leverage on them, though. The shutdown was painful, but it was a pain for them most of all and it was to ultimately prevent even more pain for everyone to come. But you blew it. To save face and end temporary pain suffered by a few, you have guaranteed greater pain on all of us including those you think you saved. You'll pat yourselves on the back for ending the shut down and then you'll pretend like what's to come was in no way your doing. But it will be. Get fucked, all of you.

Just left messages for both my Senators begging them to change Dem leadership. I know it'll do nothing, but it was that or start drinking again.

The Democrat party once again performing its true function as a diversion pipe to dump energy which should go to building a real opposition party directly down the drain. They selected a subset of liars & scumbags who are retiring and/or are not up for re-election next round to get the job done. The fecklessness and worthlessness of the Democrat party couldn't be any clearer, it's on full display right here, right now. Read their statements in the article. Every one of these pieces of shit needs to be purged.

Now watch as the GOP reneges on its "promise" to hold a "vote" on the health care subsidies in due time.

The revolution will be bloodless because dems are feckless fucking idiots.

Jeanne Shaheen won't run for reelection in 2026.

John Fetterman, Maggie Hassan, and Catherine Cortez Masto's terms will end in January 2029.

Everyone else has even longer left, from what I saw.

John Fetterman can eat shit, fucking loser

Fucking Fetterman.

FUCK DICK DURBIN FUCK DICK DURBIN FUCK DICK DURBIN FUCK DICK DURBIN FUCK DICK DURBAN FUCK DICK DURBAN FUCK DICK DURBAN FUCK DICK DURBIN FUCK DICK DURBAN FUCK DICK DURBIN

FUCKING ASS WIPE NEEDS TO GOD DAMN RETIRE SOONER

They were picked to vote this way beause their seats are either not up for election next year or they're retiring. Schumer masterminded this but voted no himself in a form of fake resistance. We have to punish more than just this list or nothing changes. It's a big setup and they're trying to play us for fools.

Fuck you Fetterman.

Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin, Jacky Rosen, John Fetterman and Catherine Cortez Masto. From bottom left: Democratic Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan and Tim Kaine, with independent Sen. Angus King.

Fuck you Dick Durbin you backstabbing coward.

I doubt it perfectly lined up that the only dems that caved were the ones retiring or not up for reelection for 5 years.

All of them are complicit. All of them will need to be replaced. Even the ones that voted no. They can't be trusted.

All that for nothing. Nothing.

This party is dead to me.

They're collaborators with the spinless Schumer, that's who they are.

Fetterman is a KWYJIBO

Now there is a Christmas surprise of people not being able to afford health care NOR presents for their family for holidays.

Primary every last traitor

None of them have to run again in the next midterms, either because their six year term extends past 2026, or they are retiring. So the ones who pulled away to vote for this won't have to immediately explain it to their voters, and they are hoping people have short memories.

There are fucking traitors is who they are

Fetterman said

“Our party could be overplaying its hand,” he added. “I don’t think much anything has been accomplished for the last 40 days except a lot of chaos and a lot of upheaval.”

Fucker gave up. All of them just gave up.
