    Ah, so you’re pulling a Biden. You’ll remain an ineffective asshole in office long enough to fuck over Democrats and then step down while expecting praise for “doing the right thing”.

      He’s far from ineffective. He’s actively colluding with the Republicans.

        Like… at this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Biden slow walked things to let trump come back.

        And he’s also a zionist.

      I’m pretty sure he’s being very effective. This was the goal for him.

      Right? It’s amazing how easy it is to stand up to people who can’t do anything about it!

    Call your senators (if dems) and keep the pressure up

    Tell them to call for senate minority leadership to be replaced

    Calling is just step one of building the pressure but it’s a very easy place to get started

    It’s Ok. Dems will keep losing big until the useless fucks get it into their heads that the future doesn’t have them in it (if the Dems even have a future).

    They can’t follow the money anymore once it stops flowing.

    The man’s as useless as they come. Stepping down would be useful. So, not surprised.

    Everyone should send his office “fundraising” emails three times a day since Senate Democrats aren’t willing to be the opposition. (If you aren’t a New York State resident, use an address of a Tesla showroom or Trump Tower or a random NY address. Staffers read constituent emails.)

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
