BREAKING: 18 Senate Dems just voted to confirm Trump's nominee for NSA Director. They are:

Baldwin
Coons
Cortez Masto
Fetterman
Gillibrand
Hassan
Heinrich
Hirono
Kelly
King
Peters
Reed
Rosen
Schiff
Shaheen
Slotkin
Warner
Whitehouse

I really don’t know what needs to happen for corporate democrats to remember they’re supposed to be the opposition party, not the fascism appeasement party. Smh.

@QasimRashid
Primary them all.

@jeffcodes Peters is retiring, so there is going to be a primary for his position. Tell your friends in Michigan to support Abdul El-Sayed for senate in the Democratic primary.

The last time the "leftists" ran a candidate it was Fetterman. While Qasim is scoring big points on social media with this hot take, I'm pretty sure the "corporate Democrats" are just making the best of the crappy situation MAGA and the leftists put them in with their stupid uncommitted movement.

It's funny how you guys were quiet when Bernie voted for two of Trump's cabinet nominees, while eight corporate Democrats voted for just one, Rubio.

@HakeemG @jeffcodes @QasimRashid

I'm in PA, and that's bullpucky.

Malcom Kenyatta ran to Fetterman's left, Conor Lamb to his right, but mostly Fetterman was a populist candidate.

Then he had a stroke. I'm no neurologist, but he doesn't seem to be the same person he was before the stroke.

@joeinwynnewood @jeffcodes @QasimRashid

I've heard this BS stroke excuse before, and I'm not buying it. Fetterman is a snake in the grass, just like Sinema was before him.

@HakeemG @jeffcodes @QasimRashid

You can buy whatever you like. What you can't do is claim he was the leftist candidate because that's bullshit.

@joeinwynnewood @jeffcodes @QasimRashid

“There’s no candidate who ran who was more strongly identified with the working class of Pennsylvania than John Fetterman,” Sanders says.

Bernie Sanders Sees A Democratic Party That Looks More Like Him Than Ever » Senator Bernie Sanders

By: Kara Voght; Rolling Stone “Obviously the election, on Tuesday night went a hell of a lot better than we had anticipated.” This was Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) scientific assessment of the 2022 midterms. He watched returns at home in Vermont — “I try to keep out of D.C. except when necessary,” he offers — and stayed up until four […]

@HakeemG @jeffcodes @QasimRashid

Exactly as I said, a *populist*.
Because Bernie said it doesn't magically make Fetterman a leftist.

Your still peddling bullshit.

You also compared him to Sinema. While many of his votes have been odious, his clearly stated reasons are vastly different from Sinema's motivations, ascertained from her behavior.

Fetterman sincerely believes he is doing the right thing. His logic is badly flawed, but not inconsistent.

Also, nothing bad @ https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/every-vote-pac/C00831214/donors/2024?start=26&page_length=25

@QasimRashid

"corporate democrats" ... and the "two party system" ... are permanent lost causes

@QasimRashid Don't be surprised! Democrats are ALL fascists, just like the Republicans. Their oligarch owners won't allow non-fascists into politics.
@QasimRashid they're doing what they've always done. But now, they're putting less and less effort into pretending to be on our side.
@QasimRashid hold up. tammy baldwin?

@QasimRashid

until we have massive political contribution reform, it's not going to happen...

@QasimRashid

Mark Kelly?????????!!!

WTF?!

@QasimRashid
Schiff is on the news every night talking about how he's going to hold Trump accountable. Dems are such losers.

@QasimRashid "Hey, lookie over there, a distraction from the Trump dumpster fire!"

Thanks, Qasim. You all are so great at keeping your eyes on the prize.

@QasimRashid
None of mine on that list!

Wisconsin, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Hawaii, Arizona, Michigan, Rhode Island, Nevada, California, Virginia, come get ya boys!

@QasimRashid since when were they supposed to be the opposition party? They're the same party with a different mascot. They've always been the same party. They go golfing with Republicans every weekend and party on the same yachts. They've even said they don't want to be an opposition party.

The US is a single-party political system, and the sooner people accept that, the sooner we can work towards tearing the system down and replacing it.

@QasimRashid

Protesting in front of Republican representatives' offices feels kind of pointless, but protesting in front of the corporate Dems' offices might scare them a little bit.

@QasimRashid Corporate Democrats are the anaesthesia party. "You are going to sleeep. You are going to sleeep. …"
@QasimRashid
Disappointed in Whitehouse.
I expect it from Schiff. I can't stand him. Him and Newsome.

@QasimRashid

Remember when they were trying to peddle Slotkin as the "future of the party"? Clown party.

@QasimRashid when I have been reading this I've thought I've been unable to get it and it were the Reps.
But finally I got that (this time 😜) it hasn't been my problem... 🙈 🙈 🙈
@QasimRashid As usual, Fail Us Fetterman is on the list. No surprise there.
@QasimRashid I think this is when "left wing, right wing, same bird" becomes most obvious.
@fylgja Democrats aren't left wing.
@lethe that's my point!
@QasimRashid With Dems like that, who needs repubs.
@QasimRashid I really hope my two Senators (on this list) get primaried out. If not, I'm going to hate voting for them. But not voting, protest voting or voting for a Republican is out of the question. #usPolitics

@QasimRashid I think they know they’re the loyal opposition, and very comfortable at that, too.

I think what needs to happen is for them to lose popular support. For good.

@QasimRashid I have a different list of these 18 idiots without Schiff. I would be surprised if he did side /w reps. I Guess we can't be sure.
Kirsten Gillibrand (NY)
Tammy Baldwin (WI)
Mazie Hirono (HI)
Jack Reed (RI)
Chris Murphy (CT)
Patty Murray (WA)
Jeanne Shaheen (NH)
Chris Van Hollen (MD)
Elizabeth Warren (MA)
Amy Klobuchar (MN)
Ron Wyden (OR)
Mazie Hirono (HI)
Mark Kelly (AZ)
Tim Kaine (VA)
Mark Warner (VA)
Chris Coons (DE)
Jacky Rosen (NV)
Kyrsten Sinema (AZ)
The conf. vote was 71-29
@QasimRashid 2/2 i am equally surprised about Kelly though.

@QasimRashid
What needs to happen is that every single right wing Democrat (and there are LOTS of them) needs to be forced out of office.

Anyone still making lesser evil electoral arguments must be ridiculed and suppressed.

@QasimRashid one of those is mine and they are getting a call in the morning!
