Remember when the government was shut down specifically because the Democrats refused to go along with a bill that ended the health insurance subsidies, and they had the Republicans up against the ropes because no matter how much they tried to dodge the responsibility, the majority of people blamed Republican intransigence for the shutdown?

Then remember how the Schumer-led Democrats just completely folded, passed the bill, then stood idly by as the chance to extend the subsidies vanished?

Every single one of those stinking traitorous shitbags needs to be primaried.

    So, the problem is the “primaried” thing isn’t enough at this point. People are going to die because of these choices. Eye for an eye.

    And even though it won't get you banned here, it surely is being documented by Palantir and putting us all on "lists."

    Fuck Palantir, it's Google that's the devil.

    Don't fear the state, fear the profit driven corporations.

    They're the future, and it begins now.

    Yes, primary all of them, but ESPECIALLY primary Schumer and Jeffries. They are absolutely toxic to democracy. If someone is claiming it’s a bad idea to primary them, that person is working against the people on behalf of the rich and corporations. Just like current Dem leadership.

    Yeah, I think a lot of people want to speedrun this happening without realizing that in reality it's just gonna lead to a lot more crime and a lot lower quality of life.

    The glorious revolution that results in a brand new glorious era for America is not that likely to happen in this scenario. Most revolutions don't really turn out that great, if you ever even get to the revolution phase as everyone is just robbing and killing each other out of desperation.

    It's going to be another tough year funneling taxpayer money to billionaires and corporations. Midterm elections are the best most peaceful route to making 2027 a better year. In the meantime tighten your belt and hunker down.

    It’s incredible how Democrat sentiment is so bad in the face of this. Millions poured into consultants, and they can’t figure it out?

    Their vocabulary should be two words:

    • Epstein.

    • Trumpcare.

    That’s it.

    That’s all they need to say to win.

    If they’re feeling frisky, sprinkle in a “huh, you know, maybe a few near-trillionaire buddies of the president shouldn’t rob you with AI?”

    They were literally handed a actual pedo cabal and a direct existential crisis even hardcore Republicans are feeling anxiety over, on a silver platter. And somehow they’re messing that up?

    I’m dysfunctional as hell, and even I couldn’t mess that up.

    So glad we ended the shutdown and got nothing out of it because democrats were promised a vote on this that they knew they wouldn't win on.

    It's so sad that these republicans can never fully comprehend the depths of how much the Jesus they worship would absolutely loathe them.

    There'd be whole books written about feeding the poor, housing the homeless, healing the sick, dining with the sinners, and deprogramming the republicans.

    I have a clinical colleague who worked in the US for a few years. I think their description of US healthcare is best summarized as follows. Has the potential to be the greatest on Earth. In reality, the quality of care provided is far below European standards. She was mortified to discover that diabetics routinely had below knee amputations whereas in the rest of the world, with the exact same clinical picture, care would be provided to prevent worsening of diabetic foot.

    The 2nd Amendment is more important than health care. The dumbfucks who voted for this would buy ammunition over insulin shots.

    Pedo traitor party doing what they always do. Which is everything they can to harm average Americans.

    Gonna be a lot more Americans that hate America going forward. Let's see how that turns out.

    Hey y'all. Stop voting for fucking conservatives or doing things that allow conservatives to have control, like not voting or voting for 3rd party candidates that literally cannot win because they are members of non-viable parties that haven't done anything to make themselves viable.

    That's all well and good because at least Musk is on his way to becoming a trillionaire!

    Real talk, why the fuck hasn't there been a West Wing-esque or some sort of satirical tv series that literally just showcases exactly what has been going on for the past 2 decades? Sure there was House of Cards and what not, but I'm talking a literal 1-to-1 copy of all the shit Trump and Republicans have done for 20 years?

    That would be more valuable than all the fucking ads and text messages we receive from the DNC, combined.
