Well, boo hoo for them.

They should understand how betrayed the majority of the people in the US feel about their votes to seat these fuckers.

need to gather together all those Democratic Senators on the fence about abortion and let them know in no uncertain terms that their careers are over, and will get no funding, and will be primaried unless they get on board. Once you know you have the 50 + the VP, nuke the filibuster and pass legislation making abortion legal.

The GOP will hasten it to the SC, and if that bunch overturns the law, then start impeachment hearings on those justices.

If you can't get all 50 Senators on board, then make good on your promise. Biden should loudly vilify whomever in the party ain't playin' ball, and demand they resign immediately.

But, of course, this will never happen.

Hence, why the youth of this nation see Dems as feckless, pathetic losers, incapable of standing up for what is right.

You can "game theory" all you want about what the GOP will do if they ever gain full control again, but that is a cowardly position. You got to start giving people something to vote for, rather than against all the time. Otherwise, the good cop/bad cop, lesser of two evils duopoly of the billionaire class just keeps winning.

But it is still a question of ending the filibuster, and there are not enough soi-disant Democrats in favor of that.

The gloves are off. If they dont want to leave the Rat out of Democrat its time we started acting like a cornered rat. ANYBODY who thinks we need to still take the high road can fuck off. These fuckers will burn that high road covered with corpses of integrity no matter what. WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE!!! We have a DUTY to vote these fascist fucks into oblivion.

they're being disingenuous. At worst, they're outright lying. Or they are really naive. And, if they're really that naive, they have no business in public office.

Make them put their proverbial money where their mealy mouths are, so bring the legislation already passed by the House to the floor and let every Democrat challenge them to rectify their supposedly “gullible error.”
