A slim majority of voting Democrats defied leader Jeffries, backing failed Massie amendment to cut $3.3 billion
disgusted by my rep voting against.
Susan DelBene has ro go. Thankfully she’s got a primary opponent who looks quite a lot better.

And the other half has still not understood or is up to the neck in AIPAC bribes.
About 50% of the Dems being in the pocket of Israel sounds about right.
yeah, seems like Israel can do just fine without
myour tax dollars.Can they though? See, I don’t think that they can! Therein lies the whole conundrum.
Very nice to see. Israel is a terrorist state. But I’m sure Chuck Schumer vetoed it all.
If the Senate flips in the Midterms, one of the first things they need to do is replace Schmuck as leader, then investigate him. He couldn’t have done a worse job as Senate minority leader if he’d been paid, and they should make sure that wasn’t the case.
He doesn’t get to do the worst job of any minority leader in history, and just walk away with over $200 million in insider trading, and who knows what other corruption, without explaining himself. He needs to leave in humiliating fashion, explaining to America how he thought supporting Israel and Insider Trading was more important to him than getting health care for Americans, or even preserving the shitty system we had.
Ending the government shutdown last Fall, and surrendering our health care, just as the pressure was starting to work, was one of the worst government betrayals I’ve ever witnessed. How the MAGA comedy duo of Schmuck & Jeffries weren’t forced to resign in humiliation is beyond me.
He needs to leave in public disgrace, that’s what he’s EARNED.
If they manage to flip the senate, I think literally nothing will be done anyway.
The insider trading thing got explained by Mike Johnson -
Since members of Congess only make 174,000 / year they need to
insidertrade stocks to make enough money…Because being a politician isn’t seen as a public duty anymore but a full time career
Idk about worst minority leader in history…Dennis Hastert did all of that, plus fucked kids.
Hastert was as asshole and a pedophile, but he knew how to do his job.
Schumer does know how to do his job, he just doesn’t want to because of either bribes, coercion, he’s Zionist, or some combination of the three!
I mean I think he thinks his job is to take bribes, and be a Zionist.
That’s a fair point he could be misinformed as to his duties
They will do nothing but maintain the status quo
The other half better lose their next primary.
Judging from 2024, the angry voters will do ABSOULTELY NOTHING, while hoping the ship will kinda, sorta, right itself-ish.
Judging from 2024, the
angry votersunpopular Dems will do ABSOULTELY NOTHINGFixed it for you.
Also, more recent events such as Mamdani and candidates he endorsed beating “Centrist” (actually right wing to far right) establishment Dems who had the backing of the entire DNC machine would indicate that the angry voters ARE doing something.
That’s not what he wants though. He has… alternative motivations.
You can’t leave it there, man. Give it some air for those of us in the back.
The tide is turning in our favor. No military aid to warmongers!
Half more to go.
Plus all of the Republicans.
(Yes, I know the fascist fucks are a lost cause and that’s why they don’t get mentioned, but we should still maintain the expectation anyway.)
nothing to apologize for, not mentioning republicans in these situations leads directly to .ml style dumbdumbitis
If you still feel like you need to provide “aid” to a country with a higher QoL than yours, higher ranking healthcare and education than yours, better-equipped social services than yours, and higher GDP per capita, you are a sad, brainwashed, controlled paypiggy.
Israel has lower gdp per capita ($60k PPP) then the US ($94k).
This is just to say they’re providing that better qol despite having less money.
They have interest in the banks who own the fed. We pay more in intetest on our debt that we spend on defense. That’s where it comes from. Plus all the other wealth. It’s way bigger than you think.
Because we are paying for it. Yet we don’t have enough for our own people?!?
America QoL is fucked not because they’re paying for others, but because of inequality.
In the US, GDP per working person (or, how much money each worker generates) is well over $150k.
Wages are less than half that, on average.
They subsidize billionaires who then lobby against everyone else’s interest to increase inequality.
It’s also easy to boost the standard of living of some when you deny the rights of others.
does that GDP number include the billions we give them in aid? We give them far far far more than the 3.8 billion thats advertised. 3.8 billion directly plus another 12.5 billion in military aid just in 2024. And I imagine similar in 2025 but dont have the data. What could America have done with a spare ~17 billion? and thats not even counting the horrifyingly expensive missiles we expend to protect them, military operations in the region to benefit them, the wars we engage in at their whim that only serve their interests. When you factor in the wars we are probably a trillion dollars into supporting these genocidal chucklefucks.
Yes, Israel is playing build-a-Reich and America is paying for it.
However, that’s not the reason why Americans are struggling - monstrous income inequality and zero social policies are the main ones.
Go out and vote out every incumbent bloodsucker out in primaries, like in the recent NY primaries.
Keep it up for 6 years, and it will cause a literal revolution in America.
What could America have done with a spare ~17 billion?
COULD have done a lot, WOULD probably just squander it on wars, tax breaks for billionaires, and subsidies for the companies of billionaires.
Our politicians are bought and paid for by Israel. The US is being colonized by Israel.
Trump is donating millions to Europeam maga aligned groups, those millions are taxpayers dollars. Not in the same orbit but completely unacceptable.
Get rid of Israeli influence and Trump, MAGA, and the GOP as a whole goes away forever
I heard an interesting theory from a YouTube video creator who made political videos (can’t recall who)
But the gist was this.
Democratic reps and congressmen take turns voting against the people’s wishes. So that no single one has a long track record of going against the people. Just a handful of times.
With, of course, the majority vote being orchestrated behind the doors.
This is how so many of Trump’s cabinet picks had Dems voting for them but a different Dem every time.
So no single Dem could be called out for “always voting with Republicans”.
I think this woman who theorized this is on to something. Wish I could remember who it was. But yeah I think she’s right. It’s all orchestrated.
The Dems are intentionally losing bills and budgets that the people want.
They have been, and are currently, working with the “opposition”. Because most of both sides are actually all working for Israel’s goals And billionaire’s goals.
Certainly Not ours.
I don’t know what youtuber you saw say that, but it sounds like something that the Drey Dossier might make a video about. Any chance it was them?
It might have been. I believe I saw the video around when the Epstein votes were being done. I mostly remember the content and not the person. I remembered it was a youngish woman. But that’s the limit of my recollection of the person.
But sounds like a few other people have noticed this trend. Another comment says it’s called “rotating villain”.
I remember when the Republicans were voting on releasing the Epstein files there were people saying that the Republicans were rotating people who voted yays and nays because a lot of Republicans citizens were also demanding the release of the files so they had to pretend to support it.
I think this is around when I saw the video that said Dems do something similar.
Sorry my memory isn’t better. It’s definitely been a while since I saw it.
Understandable. I hadn’t heard this idea before today but I will admit, whether true or not it certainly makes incredible sense.
Oh, yeah, that’s an old strategy. If you’ve got a Dem Rep in a purple district, they can’t vote for that Commie bill, or they’ll lose their seat to a MAGA. There may be a few of them, so when it comes time for the vote, they let a few cross over, so they don’t get slammed in the election for being too liberal.
But they should still pass their bill by a vote or two. When they are letting enough cross to sink a bill, or to vote for the other side? That’s political party treason, and the party needs to explain themselves.
Same donors, same team
I’ve heard this from a lot of leftist streamers and youtube creators as “rotating villain” theory. It’s basically proven, as only when a majority is gained do congress people start flaking off of what should be an obvious win. Leiberman, Sinema, Cuellar, Fetterman, Manchin, etc.
“Rotating villain” is a fitting term.
Yes, those people were notoriously loyal otherwise…
Or maybe these same people all tend to come up on close votes and we don’t pay attention to who voted for or against the housing reform bill that just passed because they didn’t matter this time.
Either name a dem that voted against the housing reform bill or drop “rotating villain” as the always go-to theory.
It’s a good thing to keep it mind, but it generally isn’t applying in this political environment.
Might be their strategy, doesn’t matter for me. Democrats who even voted no once to Bernie’s stop arms sails is clearly victims of lobbying and did so to preserve their positions. So they can’t be trusted no matter how many times they vote yes to arms sales. This is the level at which people should held them accountable.
You can see for yourself who voted for what. Or you can believe an ‘influencer.’
Wasn’t an influencer and they had examples. It was someone who made YouTube videos about political content. Not all women making videos are “influencers”.
I don’t think it’s far fetched to consider the corp Dems are using a playbook. They have a strategy. They don’t just wing it.
Wasn’t it revealed recently that booker was a guest to some Republican billionaires meeting at a hotel or something?
They are all in it together.
Yes, anyone making a video on social media is an influencer, especially if they make content meant to influence. Political influencers are influencers. Influencers you agree with are influencers. Anyway I didn’t realize Booker was all Dems. Was he a guest at a Republican billionaires meeting at a hotel or something? You can’t take a half-beat to confirm before accusing? This is exactly what I’m talking about; Second or third hand conjecture used to demonize an entire party that encompasses three fourths of voters rather than doing the legwork of looking at readily available information. Now think, who does this behavior benefit? And it’s not just you, this is all political discourse at the moment. It’s no wonder foreign state actors spend millions under the table on American influencers to control narratives.
There are absolutely Dems who need to GTFO. We can look at their actual voting records, which are generally pretty consistent, to see who’s controlled and who isn’t. Anything less is counterproductive at best and the reason conservatives are actively dismantling are government and civic protections as we bicker over trivialities in actuality.I guess your definition of influencer is different than mine. I think of influencers as a face selling products and lifestyle crap. Basically advertising.
But your definition expands to include pretty much anyone making any commentary on anything. Even local news reporters.
Here is the Booker incident I am referring to. https://www.wired.com/story/leak-exposes-members-of-peter-thiels-secretive-dialog-society/
And I’m sure there are a handful of good Dems. I can think of a few. But like 80% of them are corrupt and need replaced.
If the majority were working for the people we wouldn’t be in this shit show we are in now.
I think your narrow definition is part of the problem. There’s much more to sell than products and lifestyle crap. It’s why two certain countries have been funneling billions of dollars to social media political commentators. Because they’re influencers. It’s why governments are fighting so hard to gain control over those platforms, because every single video on them is meant to influence.
I don’t know if you are familiar with Nick Powers but he is another leftist political commentator, but cites sources and had a site where you can see not only every source he uses for every video, but gobs of free spreadsheets that are completely transparent about their sources and allow anyone to keep track of both federal and state bills and who votes which way on each one. It is an amazing resource and he consistently uses it to debunk other influencers (emphasis on other) on both the left and the right. He is transparent about entities that try to pay him to speak on certain narratives or use certain soundbites and calls them out when used by others, and always asks viewers to do their own research despite the fact that his work is heavily sourced. And he is fully transparent about his position as an influencer. Anything less from any popular content creator should be seen as clear propagandizing. But yes I agree that Booker sucks, we just need to make sure we are basing him sucking on fact and not conjecture, you dig? If the majority were working for the people we wouldn’t be in this shit show we are now, I completely agree. And by majority I include the people, who are constantly working against their own best interests.
I’m just saying your argument is that anyone who could influence is an “influencer”.
I’m not saying you are wrong but that we definitely have different definitions.
I mean you could even extend that to saying a history teacher is an influencer.
I think that definition is too loose but I acknowledge that there is no specific defined cultural definition so it’s up for personal interpretation.
Technically yes, but also no. We’re talking about two different thresholds.
I wouldn’t call a history teacher an influencer just because they influence people. The definition is much narrower. Their influence must be online and at scale. If someone consistently posts content online and has an audience in at least the thousands, they’re an influencer, regardless of whether they’re obviously selling a product.
The influence itself is the commodity. Advertising is only one way to monetize it. We’ve seen adversarial governments spend billions under the table paying popular Instagram and TikTok personalities to shape public opinion, and governments around the world are fighting over control of these platforms precisely because people with large online audiences can influence beliefs and behavior at scale. That’s what makes them influencers. It isn’t my definition, it’s what the term commonly refers to. Thinking someone has to be in your face marketing to you to be an influencer only serves to make influencers more effective at shaping public opinion.
Almost the entire party (ok 2/3s) did vote no to some of Bernie’s stop arms sales to Israel motions. So I think it is ok to demonize them when majority of the party seems to be in there for their own interests.
The Democrats
thank you
Jfc the USA government can’t afford CSS?
That’s bloat.
Jeffries is such a bitch.
Only half? Jesus.
