    You’re saying this in a thread about a Democrat who won. What is the difference of Chuck Schumer was there or not? It seems to be the same result either way.

      Do you know how Congress works? I’m trying to determine if I have to explain what a “majority” means or not.

        Republicans never had a problem fucking shit up when they didn’t have a majority. Dems should be doing the same thing. Kick and scream and make the Republicans fight every step of the way. Stop rolling over immediately and letting them fuck us all.

          Because Republicans exist, fundamentally as a party, to break government. And it’s far far easier to break something than to improve it.

            Right now they need to focus on stopping the republicans from doing shit, that’s it, and they’re not even trying. Everyone knows nothing is going to improve until Musk, Trump and the rest are gone so focus on just mucking up their works.

                Schumer is the leader. His actions speak for the whole. I’ll believe the rest of them care when they jettison him. It is long past time for them to have cut these spineless old fucks from the party. They should have done it after Hillary lost. Republicans are out for blood and they keep playing games.

        Oh yes here we go another comment about if they don’t have a complete and total majority that they have no power whatsoever. What fucking bunk. He was elected as a senator by the people of the state of New York. He has a solemn and sacred duty to serve those people. It doesn’t matter if other people didn’t win election it’s still his fucking job. If he can’t fucking do it he should resign as should the rest of the useless parasites in that party who don’t feel they have any responsibilities left to the public.

        What a useless party this is and what useless people who are loyal to it.

          You kids act like there’s some sort of consolation prize. Is it because you all got participation trophies or something when you were children? You lost the house, the senate, the presidency and the f’gin SCOTUS.

          What political power do you think you really have anymore? Whining on lemmy about how you don’t want to vote for a boring candidate? No wonder MAGA is winning. They f’ing vote.
