Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Neat, house Democrats feel the same way as I do!
Now, could you like, do something? Anything?
They are, but most media just doesn't talk about people fighting back even close as much as it talks about the problems. Axios has a bit better coverage of what house dems are doing besides just their public statements of pressuring of senate dems

CALL. YOUR. REPS. AND. SUPPORT. THIS.
Tell them you want Schumer out. Tell them you want a real progressive in charge. Tell them you want a progressive party that fights like hell for the people. Tell them that you will personally work to help primary them out if they don't grow a fucking spine.
Raising your voice costs you nothing, so just fucking do it.
I don't give a fuck about your magical third party that's going to manifest from the ether. You can still do that, no one is stopping you.
But right now you have an opportunity to capitalize on this outrage and possibly make a real, meaningful change.
You miss every shot you don't take.
Install the app "5 calls." It gives you a script and the relevant representatives and senators phone numbers to call. You don't need to look anything up, and it will remind you to call them at whatever intervals you set. I call weekly.
It is free and I have never seen an ad or request for donations
Even the fucking centrists that no doubt had to fight every instinct to capitulate. All for nothing if Schumer just folds like a wet napkin. Again.
You are in their thoughts and prayers.
and maybe some 'slammings' and some pink hats or colored wrist bands.
Now now, they've moved on to auction paddles.
I am sure do believe those auction paddles will stop the Republicans. /s
