They’ll shamelessly fuck us over on cost of living, then turn around and whine like a bunch of little crybabies about declining fertility rates.
healthcare should be free
So what happens now? Do those Democrat senators provide their own swords to fall on, or do they get beheaded? What’s the protocol here for senators who have failed as entirely as they have?
Violence generally doesn’t get what you want out of the system.
History largely proves otherwise…
Right, that’s why I brought up the seppuku first.
Time to start framing it to the idiots that the cost increase is from “kickin all the illegals off of insurance” that they were never on.
Americas health care costs for the average family are going up up UP!!
Let it rip apart the Red Oblasts. They voted for the fucking mess.
You can focus on and fault the decision here, but the actual systemic failure is that a decision on the subsidies should have been finalized well ahead of the open enrollment start date, which was nearly six weeks ago on November 1st, 2025. The federal government has failed us (Republican controlled at this time so no surprise there) by waiting until there’s less than 4 days for American citizens to make a decision – the deadline is literally December 15th, 2025.
The ACTUAL failure was not switching to a nationalized single-payer system.
Chuck Schumer is a piece of shit
The leader of the minority party is a piece of shit for…not convincing enough members of the majority maga party to vote against party lines ?
Schumer didn’t cave.
please, there are two options here, neither is good for Schumer. Either, he’s ineffectual party leader (whether by not knowing or not having control)… OR he orchestrated it to maintain “plausible” deniability.
They don’t represent the people anymore, just a few of them
Hey everyone, just buy TWO pencils for your kids. Having 37 pencils was obviously keeping you from being able to afford health care. THANKS, OBAMA!
Also, if you are not a billionaire or at least a centimillioniare, it is your fault! Too much avocado toast, having a daily latte, a large screen TV, a smart phone, and Netflix, I think.
I’m shocked!
Also, fuck you congress repubs, and fuck you Schmucker.
Schumer didn’t cave. He didn’t vote to end the shutdown. Put the blame where it belongs.
AHAHAHAHAHA, must be one big fucking coincidence that all the people who caved aren’t up for re-election this next round, huh?
Totally not a co-ordinated cave
He wanted to be the leader, and he was the leader of the ones who chose to end the shutdown. Either he orchestrated it or he has no control. Either way, fuck him
He caved in exchange for a vote he knew would fail and logrolled the votes so that the I’ll informed would think he didnt have a hand in it.
The shutdown was painful, but what comes next will be a lot more painful.
Word on the hill was he was trying to get people to vote for it, but didn’t want to put his name on it after all the backlash last time. No way to confirm this tho
Look at the people who voted to end the shutdown: no one who’s up for re-election this next cycle.
Either Schumer is one hell of a terrible leader, or there was a very obvious attempt at co-ordinating the vote to take advantage of voters’ (lack of) long term memory.
Nuance is a lemmy antagonist. Just so you know.
It must be frustrating to be caught between two parties, of which one is straight up evil, and the other is just spineless and craven, while both are corrupt. Honestly, y’all should just break it all down and start all over again. Your democracy is broken.
BoTh SidEs
One has a felon pedophile as president, they must be the same.
You’re right. LOSING to a known rapist is even worse.
How about the other party was so damn foolishly incompetent they couldn’t win against a well-known racist, misogynistic, fraud, felon, and also a pedophile. See I can change the narrative too.
You love to turn it as “BoTh SidEs” when the parent comment doesn’t even equate them, shows how cultist you can be.
If you can’t go beyond taking every little criticism as an attack on your identity, equating both sides and calling them Russian bots, you kinda get what you deserve.
Pedo-nald being the head of the republican party is a gift to the democrats, who can’t run a fucking campaign for shit. I really wanted Kamala to win, but goddamn if she didn’t absolutely fuck it up. Between not being able to be the nominee from the start (Thanks
ObamaBiden!) and campaigning along side republicans while being rather tone deaf in her messaging did not help her cause in the slightest.Ignoring the more reasonable side’s fuckups because the other side is an active garbage dump fire is only going to push us farther along the same path. Maybe democrats will finally learn their lesson and actually campaign for the people instead of their donors. Actually run on a platform to help people, and maybe people will actually vote for them. Worked in '08, and while I’m not naive enough to fall for ‘hope and change’ again, it would be nice to feel like the person I’m voting for actually gave a fuck.
Got any oil?
Personally, I am so thankful that we are on the cusp of the extinction of the oil and gas industry.
The world deserves better than us.
Just understand who is accelerating the collapse of social order.
What options do they have to deal with such a collapse? Its either they support everyone or fight everyone.
I know which one they are preparing for.
What are you preparing for?
Yay, Senate Dems caved for absolutely fucking nothing!
Get ready for insane premiums an unaccountable denials an everything
