    Plenty of Democrats are voting to put trump nominees in office, plenty are voting on partisan spending bills. The CR vote should tip you off that any democrat is not better than any republican… half of them are complicit too. 10 Senate Dems just financed this authoritarian takeover.

      Not a single Democrat voted to confirm Hegseth and 3 Republicans also didnt but he still got confirmed.

      Every single Democrat was present and voted no for the Budget which passed the House and it still passed.

      Even if 10 dems voted not to shutdown government and enter congressional recess, the CR only exists because Republicans wrote it and won’t compromise.

      Any Democrat is Better than Any Republican.

        Scheumer rubberstamped autocracy by not filibustering the CR. I think anyone who protects the constitution and their constituents is better than someone who doesn’t. Not that any repuclicans fit the bill, but its not like we can just trust any old democrat. Look at Gavin Newsome sliding to the right to maintain power. That the kinda dems we want?

          Autocracy is 100% guaranteed in the USA since November, Schumer never had any choice on the matter. Whether or not Congress went into recess Trump would be acting like a God King. The only people who can do anything about it? Congress, who in this hypothetical wouldn’t be able to because of the recess and in our actual reality aren’t able to because more than half of them are traitors.

            We’ll never know what happened because the senate couldn’t even filibuster it for a day to try to force a negotiation or a shutdown. There was no reason for 10 senators to vote yes on the CR.

              I don’t like that 10 dnc senators voted yes, but I absolutely place 100% of the blame on the GOP.

              Reminder that failure to pass a resolution by the 14th, within 4 days of its introduction on the 10th, would automatically trigger government shutdown and recess of congress, giving Trump even more authority to discontinue payments to government programs and offices. It was made law on the 15th of March. Republicans left no room for negotiation.

              Any Democrat is better than Any Republican.
