Thanks Fetterman (PA) and Heinrich (NM).

Shun them. No Democrat should provide a single vote for any MAGA legislation ever. Both of those loser Leaders should be explaining to their people really fucking good that if ANYONE casts a single vote for MAGA legislation or nominees, they become invisible. No committees, no nothing. Nobody answers their calls, their emails go unread, nobody responds to them in the hallways. They will not be allowed to go on talk shows. They are invisible, until they are gone entirely.

When it comes to primaries, the party will encourage others to run, and support their candidacies, and give absolutely nothing to the traitors.

This is a war for Democracy, and if you aren't 100% on board, you're the enemy.

There’s always just the bare minimum needed. Illusion of opposition

I strongly believe that Fetterman is a plant. He's 100% not colluding with the Democrats either as opposition, or for any nefarious means as you're suggesting.

No fucking clue where the other guy got the balls to do this very stupid fucking thing.

They're both gone soon, regardless.

He's not just a plant, he's one bad sneeze away from being a vegetable.

If only he skipped straight to the vegetable part.

Brain damage will do that to you.

I strongly believe that Fetterman is a plant.

He's a human with brain damage who pulled a bait-and-switch on Pennsylvanians (although the alternative wasn't much better...), not a green, sun-loving plant! Leave the poor plants out of this!

54-45 is a pretty big gap for the Senate. Not even close to needing a tie breaker from the vp

I foresee this being a short tenure. Dude is obviously unqualified, but he is also shockingly stupid, and insecure as all hell.

Talking single digit Scaramuccis, here. He's gonna fuck this up so bad. We are entering storm season here in the US.

Rotating Villain once again?

Zaktor@sopuli.xyz · 12 pts · 146d (2 replies)

Not really. The vote was passing without the Democratic votes. It's just regular shitty centrism.

Keeponstalin@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 146d (1 reply)

At that point they're villains for the love of the game

Zaktor@sopuli.xyz · 10 pts · 146d

Seriously. Fetterman has brain damage and loves ICE, but what does the NM guy gain? He's simultaneously voting against funding ICE unchanged and thinks it's a great idea to put a violent thug at its head?

They didn't defect, this is who they are

Eddbopkins@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 146d

Two more traitors to the constitution, to pick loyalist over qualified people. I hate this era of government.

nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 13 pts · 146d

Always enough 'republicans for a day' to make our lives worse. The only counter to a rotating villains strategy is to hold the whole group responsible.

"The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.

Also, the rotating villain theory is real, yall
