ACT UP!
Fight Trump!
And this is what happens when 26% vote in a president and 46% non-votes. That’s just what republicans want. So, say goodbye to democracy.
Senator Schumer learned everything he needed to know about obstruction from Yertle the Turtle. I hope he studied all the lessons and learned the tricks.
Trump: I will summarize it for all of Amerika at my daily 3AM tweet*.
*I bought more Twitter stock. It will quadruple in my first month in office.
Good for him. At the very least raise a stink about it
Make McConnell have to go for 60 vote over ride when the real time comes. Is that available for this bill?
I have mixed feelings about Schumer too. If this is their opening salvo than good on them, but if this is the best they can do, fuck 'em…I’m underwhelmed. I like Amy Klobuchar too…a lot. Schumer is well-liked by his colleagues but at this time, at this moment in our history, I want real rabble-rousers taking aim and I expect no less right now. Those are the people I want front and center in our fight. I want justified anger expressed on the floor, and fuck all that comity and pretentious bullshit they usually comport themselves with…
This is a war for the heart and soul of the country, and everything we stand for. This isn’t just about one thing like Obamacare, even if this is the issue du jour that they’re addressing at this moment in time, as much as I value it in my life right now. They need an over-arching theme to pull all these seemingly disparate yet calamitous undoings together, to show the American people the GOP is seriously out to eliminate the entire social safety net in the country, quickly before anyone notices, and reduce us to a third world power in the process.
Radical extreme measures need to be employed just as the GOP method of stripping Obama’s legacy is intended to do. They want radical change, that no one voted for, as their goal. If Dems don’t fight fire with fire, they really haven’t heard the siren call that is beckoning them to act up and fight like the life of their constituencies depended on it.
Until Democratic politicians learn to moderate the moderators and work the refs in the media, by calling them out when they are so wrong or misleading, or when they are normalizing Trump in the worst way possible, or describing politics as two sides in an equal battle of wills…we will be stuck in this mess. They have to upset that cart if they don’t want to continue to find themselves under it. GOPers pride themselves on bad press because they have their own outlets to get their message out. Dems should do the same…Enough of the corporate media bullshit. They helped create this sickening clusterfuck. Find alternative avenues to make your case if you’re a Democrat. Don’t always do it on fucking cable TV. Its a waste of time and effort for the most part.
(Damn, now I see you withdrew your comment…It wasn’t bad at all.)
Sorry, after reading my comment over, I was not happy with my wording. I just decided to delete rather than edit. Besides, I didn’t think hardly anyone at TPM would feel the same way. I agree with your assessment, this is bigger than just the ACA.
