Democrats are so fucking stupid:
A vote for Schumer is a vote for Ted Cruz. Progressive or nothing.
Fucking useless party. They are complicit.
I see now why people keep saying "both sides".
Maybe they wouldn't have started this if elected, but I'd they're happy to continue it, I don't want to see them elected ever again.
This is why there's an uptick of unaffiliated Gen Z voters. They don't want the toxicity of Republicans and want to avoid the weakness of the Democrats.
Assholes
Ah yes. The "opposition".
If the Democrats are too scared then maybe it's time to go. They've been fattening themselve with corrupt money that they only know how to give up at the first resistance. There's no strategy at this point, just a buch of headless chickens.
Can we get protest going outside these fuckers houses every day and night? Maybe throw some fucking rocks?
Are you FUCKING SHITTING ME???
every single one of the shit stains is complicit and will be tried for their cooperation with the enemy when this shit ends.
WTF? They're concerned that voting AGAINST funding ICE would hurt their reelection? Who are they trying to impress? The 16% that think ICE is doing a good job? They should be concerned about the 84% that thinks they're going to far!
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement,”
Any Dem that is thinking like that needs to go. ICE isn't "law enforcement," they are feral hyenas, preying on our nation. They are the Homeland Security version of DOGE, and they are a scourge on our nation. Any candidate that can't make that case to their constituents, who are AGAINST ICE, is too stupid and ineffective to be a Representative. They are far more concerned about their own survival, than the survival of America. Primary them out.
We know that MAGA is destroying America, so any Dem that isn't actively resisting them is complicit. This shouldn't even be a thing. EVERY vote on a MAGA issue is an automatic, across the board NO, by EVERY single Democrat. No exceptions should be tolerated. This is a political war, and it is imperative that Dems be as united as the MAGAs have been for years.
Democrat's spines, already known to be weak, now appear to be nothing but jello.
Shit like this is why they keep losing elections.
Schuller, Jeffries and all these people need to be primaried and need to go.
Progressive Yanks, you got to stop taking prisoners. Burn this shit down.
Democrats ARE NOT on your side. They are the enemy. We need revolution.
So these are the dems the centrists keep telling me to shut my mouth up and vote for.
This sounds like a great opportunity for David Hogg to enter the conversation again, supporting primarying these fuckers.
And the non-Americans here were asking why we hated the "opposition" party so much.
Lemmy losers: “we will win in the midterms”
Yet you will get yelled at by complete morons for not supporting these assholes.
It's time to bring out The Hook for the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries. If they won't go, drag them off them stage.
When Americans ask for the social safety nets we pay for Israelis to have were told it's "Marxism"
We the American taxpayers pay for Israeli citizens to get free universal healthcare, a $400 payment per child per month until they are18 and free college.
Don't worry we get a lot out of it because they are our"friends". Such good friends in fact that they funded Epstein and ghisline to run a child sex trafficking ring to blackmail our politicians. That's totally something a friend would do not a hostile foreign power that wants to bleed us dry for their imperial ambitions.
I can't wait to vote against Eric Sorensen in the primary. That guy is a real chode and has betrayed the common man at every turn.
DINOs, old guard dems like chuck schumer nad jefferies ilk. look at which dems are in the senate that is up for re-election and primary them, its likely these 13 Dems is what schumer was protecting to end the shutdown.
"HOUSE DEMS XYZ"
Look inside
1% of dems vote for policy
sigh
Can someone better at math than OP explain to the class how many votes are needed in the house to have a majority, and compare that to the seats held by Republicans?
lol yet I get yelled at by centrists for not supporting this fascists, disgusting
Is there some rule that the news never name or link to bills & their votes so we can look up comprehensive information? It appears to be House vote 42 for H.R. 7147.
Only the most conservative Democrats voted for this. The vast majority voted against. | Vote | All Votes | Republicans | Democrats | Blue Dog Coalition | |
| --: | --: | --: | --: | | Yea | 220 | 213 | 7 | 4 | | Nay | 207 | 1 | 206 | 4 | | Not Voting | 4 | 4 | 0 |
They're a big tent party with a number of factions, and Blue Dog Coalition is the most conservative caucus.
the Democratic leadership would not seek to whip the vote, now set for Thursday
That blame resides entirely with the leadership, not party members. This source, however, is entirely biased.
The Democratic leadership won’t block funding for ICE because it regards both ICE and DHS as a whole as critical parts of the machinery of the capitalist state, which they, like the Republicans, uphold and support.
ICE is already overwhelmingly funded by last year's One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Simply defeating this new bill won't cut funding.
Trump’s persecution of immigrants is deeply unpopular, and more Americans favor abolishing ICE entirely than allowing it to continue its vicious operations, according to recent opinion polls.
Abolishing ICE is a loser: the people still voted for immigration enforcement. Abolishing offices & agencies doesn't repeal laws people still want enforced, and whatever enforces immigration & customs regulations is logically called immigration & customs enforcement, ie, ICE. It makes as much sense as demanding abolition of all abused offices & agencies, and the Trump administration is abusing them all, especially the presidency. Should the US abolish the office of the president, too?
Moreover, abolishing a corrupt agency doesn't end the executive's power to corrupt more agencies. This is like getting mad at the stick instead of the person beating you with it: there are a lot more sticks!
A more logical answer here is to repeal Trump era changes, restrict the executive's authority, impeach abusive administrators. While Democrats need more liberal & progressive votes than they have to do that, the liberals & progressives are clearly voting to oppose ICE.
Of note, it doesn't matter at all what any Democrats in the House do with this vote, because Republicans hold the majority and are going to pass it regardless
