The capitulation of Senate Democrats in ending the government shutdown without healthcare concessions has sparked outrage. Calls for new leadership and primary challenges are growing. The fight for a Democratic Party that truly fights back continues.
It’s not just the rotating eight. It’s not just Schumer.
It’s the ENTIRE Democratic Party. This was a cold, calculated act that sent a message to the electorate: vote all you want, but the billionaires are in the driver’s seat and they’re not giving you an inch.
Not one goddamned inch. You’re down in the shit, and that’s where you peasants belong.
It’s a shell game. It’s rigged to the hilt. Both parties belong to the same billionaires, body and soul. The point is to keep the proles cheering for whichever cop is promising to save them from the other one, while both beat the shit out of you.
Funny how Americans forgot the lesson from 250 years ago. The one about the only solution for the Owner class. But then, they’ve been in control of the classrooms and the media for a long, long time.

This is why I say it can’t be reformed.
But shitlibs from .world wanna argue. Which is kind of a microcosm of why we are where we are in this country.
