What in the performative nonsense fucking bullshit is this
They are disappearing people off the streets with gangs of masked gestapo and throwing them in concentration camps. And Chuck Schumer's strategy is to talk smug about spending cuts for 20 hours?? And it DOESN'T EVEN BLOCK A BILL?? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.
I'm going to need elected Democrats to start giving at least one flying ratfuck about protecting our rapidly disappearing democracy. Our nation is LITERALLY circling the drain and you fucking fucks are worried about performing slightly better in the midterms.
Is this a joke?? Am I being punked?? PLEASE say April Fools. FUCKING PLEASE.
That's cute: Schumer thinks next year's midterms will happen
@Lana I mean, it holds up whatever the fascist majority want to do in the Senate.
So, it’s not technically a filibuster because it’s not attached to a single business item, but that also sorta fits because everything is awful right now. It would have been easier to hold the line on the Continuing Resolution last whatever, but if we could get a number of Senators to hold up business while laying out all the criminality and human rights violations of the present administration, that’s at least something.
@c0dec0dec0de it literally didn't stop the fascists from doing a single thing. You don't beat claims of being the party of performative inaction by giving a 20 hour speech to no one and then immediately rolling over the second you're asked to do An Action.
@Lana honestly, the party should be able to be able to wrangle at least a week of continuous speeches and complaints - there’s enough material and there are 45 of them and 2 aligned independents who can claim time.
