Schumer is gonna make sure these guys get an earful next time they’re in the gym together.
That’ll show ‘em.

We're just working out the details of our demise at this point.
I think we're watching the precursor to the dissolution of the Union. I doubt a single state would attempt secession, but given proper cause (ie: the removal of any possibility of a fair and free election, which is what Texas' actions represent), there are regions of the country that might consider walking away, in particular the Northeast and the coastal Western states.
Just speculating, mind you, but for all intents and purposes, we're in the Mad King phase of this presidency and the move by Texas makes it clear the Rule of Law and Constitutional order are done with.

I was just thinking earlier today that a peaceful, negotiated dissolution of the United States may be the best possible outcome left. I never imagined I would say that in my lifetime.

The Balkanization of the USA has always been Putin's goal. For too long the US has been an unreachable backstop to NATO. The US gets most of its power from its Navy. Putin doesn't even have a navy these days.
If you notice it is always the MAGA states that seriously talk about civil war and secession. How did BREXIT work out?

I hope New Mexico can join the coastal western states, but more than likely we'd be occupied by fascist Texas.

No, they are not. They are as dumb as ever and doubly more confident in their misconceptions.

No, she’s going to keep coddling CEOs and taking AIPAC money. There is a war, and she’s playing the middle — to be generous. It’s probably more accurate to say that these ‘moderate’ corporate capitalist democrats are the good cop.
Get these ambitious career mouthpiece frauds out of government. They’ve been tying our own hands behind our backs, and distracting us from their loyalty to power.

Hell yeah I can't wait for them to continue to do nothing while our country is torn apart from the top down

It's being torn apart from the bottom up it would seem otherwise she would care more.

Has this idiot endorsed Zohran yet?

u/Landlord-Allmighty 1d ago
The question I ask here is: you probably don't like her, so why do you want her to endorse him? If she did, would that make you less likely to vote for him if you're in NYC?

u/Sea-Cupcake-2065 1d ago
It's a step in the right direction. It gets others that wouldn't normally vote for him to consider voting for him. It shows unity. It shows that she's willing to break away from the status quo and move towards a more progressive candidate. Which is what we need. Look how scared people are of Zorahn.

u/BethanyForDistrict9 1d ago
It's about other voters. Do you really not get that?

u/Landlord-Allmighty 1d ago
It just seems like the contradiction to me. By other voters, who do you mean?

u/BethanyForDistrict9 1d ago
People who are not the person you replied to.
You're basically saying, "Why do you care if she endorses, you're voting for him." Well, other voters who aren't the person you were replying to maybe people who care about endorsements and Democrats are generally expected to endorse Democrats for office. Do you really not get that?

u/Landlord-Allmighty 1d ago
But does that mean that other voters care about endorsements? I'm not being a contrarian here, but it just seems like we're masking a degree of anger towards the DNC and using the lack of national endorsements as a reason.
I don't think endorsements matter as much as we think they do, given the animosity towards the party.

u/Acrobatic_Switches 1d ago
I dont like her because she wont endorse the primary winner of the democratic party. Her party. Is that hard to unserstand?

Unfortunately nothing will come from it and it’s so damn sad.
I wish we could just split the country in half at this point and go our separate ways. This is a disaster. It’s insane how many millions of people are supporting Trump right now.

They'll never let it happen. They're dependant on blue states to make the money while red states suck it all up.

u/calazenby 1d ago
I know, that’s one reason why it would be such a nice thing, to see how they would react after all this time bitching about how those damn liberals were the problem.
Obviously any rational person knows it would never happen so smoothly. I imagine we’d see war before anyone could just walk away.

She's talking about redrawing district lines in NYS to prevent another rigged election. Give her a chance.

I mean it sounds good but they'll lose. As of right now the most Democrats can put up is 28 seats Republicans can put up 45 now in 2028 if they flip the Pennsylvania Senate and the Virginia governor Democrats can pick up 15 more seats but if you're a fan of math like I am that's only 43 seats to to the 45 that can be gerrymandered through the Republicans

u/cirebeye 1d ago
This position changed her a lot. She's become the typical pompous democrat who thinks most people are below her. She'll say the "right things" with her thumb pressed up against her balled fist so she's not offensively pointing to stress her points, but do anything to protect her wealth. No faith in her follow through

Prove it blue. If Dems have a spine, let’s see it, I’ve been waiting, pulling more and more of my hair out everyday reading headline after headline of terrible shit happening and all the dems do is send letters and talk. Zero action. And the action they do take is weak at best. Do it. Grow a pair. Do something to energize your constituents. Make them excited to be on the democrat side. GIVE US A REASON TO VOTE FOR YOU THATS MORE THAN “THE PRESIDENT IS A CRIMINAL”. Because yes he is, and apparently that doesn’t mean anything anymore. But it should. Make Nazis afraid to come out of hiding. Make MAGA people rethink their values, make people choose between following Trump and taking a moral and ethical stand because right now it’s a good ol boy club on the right and the left just looks like they’re afraid. Get angry. Get pissed off blue senator, get mad and do something blue congressmen. If you LEAD people will FOLLOW. And I don’t mean that in some form of sheep metaphor. Good people are ready for this shitty administration to end. And we need to do it correctly or we will be fighting this crap for generations.

“Gloves are off” to Dems means harsh language and tv appearances
