It sounds like a bunch of Democrats want to cave in exchange for no concessions whatsoever. Edit: Bloomberg has more details
Current likely Democratic votes for this:
- Shaheen - NH
- Hassan - NH
- King - ME
- Fetterman - PA
- Peters - MI
- Durbin - IL
- Warner - VA
- Kaine - VA
- Ossoff- GA
- Warnock - GA
If you want to change things, you need to call their DC office NOW, and leave an email if you can’t.
Edit 2: enough Democrats joined the Republicans to reopen the government with no real concessions.
The list:
- Durbin
- Hassan
- King
- Cortez Masto
- Kaine
- Shaheen
- Rosen
- Fetterman
- Schumer
- Gillibrand
There was a caucus meeting right before this, so the bulk of the Senate Democrats were likely OK with giving in, even if not willing to vote for it in public
Fetterman is a disgrace I flipping hate this dude
Hes not your enemy. If you’re a constituent, he is your employee. Give his office a call and let them know how you expect him to perform.
Those are not mutually exclusive. You could say the same thing about Trump, who is simultaneously the president of the US, and an enemy to the US.
I mean, do call the fucker, but he is 100% a traitor and an enemy to our country.
Does calling his office actually do anything? Doesn’t that require him not to be a traitor?
Calling Congress tends to result in a report from staff about constituent sentiment. It’s a meaningful thing which can sometimes shift things on the margin — it’s rarely enough on its own.
If they bother to pick up the phone. Which is more than I can say for my two senators.
Nothing wrong with showing up at their local office in person with a crowd. Ive done that before
Our their homes. At their kids birthday parties. Whatever it takes.
Probably not, and no.
So I am one of Jeanne Shaheen’s constituents (and, NH being a small state, I’ve met her more than once)
I just sent her office a constituent note
This letter is better written than 90% of politicans can speak.
We need more fucking leftists running for stuff. Local elections!
We MUST form the left Tea Party and fucking get rid of all the dead democratic weight that’s blocking progress
Shaheen is more leftist than me
It’s not like I can tell him not to come into work on Monday and hire someone else
He is a disgrace and a disappointment. But, who was he running against? Oz. Oz didn’t even live in the state who and was more pro-Trump than Fetterman the time. So, the choice was between overtly pro-Trump Oz who was living in New Jersey or Pa-living Fetterman who wasn’t overtly pro-Trump until after the stroke.
