'Absolutely Pathetic': Senate Democrats Denounced for Caving to GOP in Shutdown Fight | Common Dreams - Sopuli

> “How absolutely pathetic,” declared the Justice Democrats, an advocacy group that focuses on assisting progressive challengers willing to take on more establishment lawmakers in office. “Your voters expect you to hold the line for their basic healthcare and food benefits. This is just surrender. Every Senate Democrat that joined Republicans to pass this sold the American people out and we should make sure they have no future in public office.” > “Let’s be clear — this proposal isn’t a compromise, it’s a capitulation,” said Rep. Jonathan L. Jackson (D-Ill.). “Millions would lose their health coverage, and millions more would face skyrocketing premiums. The Senate should reject this misguided plan. In the House, my vote will be HELL NO.” The Democratic Party is dead and liberal centrism is an obstacle to progress, less a bulwark against fascism and more a tacit endorsement of it.

In this current political climate, we have MAGA and Republican popularity tanking and then for some reason, these bumfuck Dems are diving on that grenade for them.

I weep every night for those poor billionaires. Those corpos and their immense struggle. But as a lowly poor I could never understand the depth and wrought of their suffering.

Well, it wasn’t just billionaires. It was anyone trying to fly for the holidays.

I, for one, was willing to endure for healthcare. It was a fight that was worth it. It’s not Medicare for All, but it was something.

This is exactly why they caved.

Democrats are primarily backed by big money donors. Their constituents are billionaires too, just a different set of billionaires than Republicans’ constituents.

There isn’t a party that represents the people, just two different factions of billionaires who are fighting over their share of control over the government.
