Democrats are still voting in favour of things the gop wants. They also wonder by they lose elections.

Bravo #CoryBooker!At least one democrat is hearing the screams of anguish from every sentient person in the US.

Can someone explain why #Democrats voting to confirm trump nominees are doing so?

Serious question. All I can think of is that they think they are sending some message or that they are somehow “biding their time”. Do they think opposing all of them is somehow gauche?

For me it is an outright betrayal. They are collaborators who are turning their backs on the people they are supposed to represent. You expect this from the reds, and really from the dems too let’s be honest. But now?

Swear, no matter what fucking #CNN says. Object. Resist. Do literally anything to signal that the people who believe in freedom can trust you to fight against the fascism you simply didn’t bother to prepare for.

Why are police allowing break ins, vandalism and theft at government properties?Just kidding! Police don’t prevent crime.

California senator being a collaborator is particularly stupid. There is no excuse for voting for any trump nominee. None. They don’t need your vote, so all you do is signal your abject surrender, which tells us voters that you need to be primaried. So thanks, I guess?

With amazon’s continuing progress along the enshittification curve, it seems fitting that my kickstarted copy of “Picks and Shovels” by @pluralistic might well be the last book I read on my otherwise trusty 2012 kindle.

Isn’t it a huge surprise that the “efficiency” assholes aren’t even slightly interested in that?

For example, these stupid, cowardly fucks:

“The vote was 59-38. Democrat Sens. Michael Bennet (Colo.), Ruben Gallego (Ariz.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.), Martin Heinrich (N.M.), John Hickenlooper (Colo.), Ben Ray Luján (N.M.) and Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) as well as independent Sen. Angus King (Maine) voted with Republicans to confirm him.”

It is beyond insane to pre-surrender.

It is completely fucked that those are statements that credibly coexist.

Assuming the US manages not to vote itself into a fascist regime next week, it is important to remember that this is what republicans are.

There will be endless excuses about how “oh trump just brought out the worst”, without understanding that worst is inexcusable.

The GOP is regressive and fascist to the core. We have a huge amount of damage to fix already, including the “supreme” court. That cannot be done while the GOP manages to bully its way into power every 8 years.

Eduction is critical. Rejection of the “values” that magas embrace is critical.

Do not let yourself be fooled that that have “learned their lesson”. They just think they have to fascist better next time. Their next candidate will cosplay moderate and lull you into a false sense of security. “Oh look, the GOP is fine, the bad stuff was all trump” is not ever going to be remotely true.

As a country we have to do the work to move forward and leave the anachronistic death worshippers behind.
