Even if you isolate the most pro-business, anti-progressive tendencies within the Democratic caucus, there’s still no clear reason to support this bill. It shifts power away from the Democratic Party, which runs counter to your interests regardless of your specific priorities. The idea that Democrats “will cave and provide the votes to pass this bill like always” simply doesn’t hold up in this context.

Can’t wait for the inevitable headline where Fetterman is the winning vote for this fucking bill under a photo of him in an unwashed sweatshirt and cargo pants.

Go ahead kill the filibuster
Next time the Dems have the senate we get:
– statehood for PR and DC
– revocation of the SAVE act
– elimination of gerrymandering
– Medicare for all
– billionaires pay their taxes
– restoration of the legitimacy of the federal judiciary aka pack SCOTUS
– increase the size of the house to 900
– restoration of women’s bodily autonomy
– a full accounting for the Epstein class

I love the propaganda push I’m seeing from state media about this bill. “Most Americans agree with photo ID for voting” and their polling ignores the citizenship requirements in the bill.
I guess every American has a Birth Certificate with their current (including married) name and an active passport! If they don’t, I guess they just don’t deserve the right to vote, right Republicans?

They killed it last April. Trump made it worse and now expects it should pass. Insanity

Great!
Next week’s headline: SAVE Act passed in Congress.

I’ll believe it when I see it. I have lost all faith in dems doing the right thing after the multiple very obviously calculated defections of exactly the number of democrats needed to pass the bill.

DL/DR: (Too much bulls**t to bother!)
I say: Make no promises. Just do it! Please prove you can do ANYTHING to save our representative republic!

Dionne Warwick has a little bit to say about “promises”
Will they stab it with their steely knives in an attempt to kill the beast?

Sorry Dems, but sternly worded letters ain’t gonna do it this time. Either do your job or get out.

Is they don’t, the party will get the death it deserves.

What exactly is going on here? I heard something about maybe reading the epstein files during the filibuster…but why is there a traditional filibuster going on? they don’t have the votes to get around the normal boring filibuster as it is. i’m confused?
Kitakitakita on
spoilers: they won’t.
markevens on
Well, I guess it’s passing then. I wonder which dems will vote for it.
CasCrus4L on
Just shut the fuck up and make sure it doesn’t pass. Democrats so fucking disappointing, this is like the bare minimum.
siromega37 on
How about they start actively talking about why it’s bad while the GOP is planning a multi-day filibuster? I fucking hate the ineffectual Dems.
BoredMadisonian on
Can’t wait for the ‘5 democrats break ranks and vote to pass save America’ headlines – because it happens EFT
TiredOfBeingTired28 on
So last minute entire party votes to passes like last fucking time they done anything “together”
DollarStoreDollars on
They’ll be just enough votes for it to pass.

So they’ll ensure it passes after playing games for a few weeks.

From your lips to god’s nips, Dems.
Forgive me if that doesn’t reassure me much.
Yeah, right.
Drown it in a bathtub.
