Now, many of Jay Willis' 150,000 followers are going to help fascists win elections, by refusing to vote for any Democrat, because only 94% of Democratic Senators supported Adeel Mangi. Based on a flat-out lie that those 94% made Bove a federal judge. They didn't.

No we’re not. We’re going to vote for Democrats who know how to fight and back people like Prtizker who understand that Republicans aren’t their friends.

What if there's ever an election, somewhere in America, in which the Democratic nominee is not JB Pritzker? There is a definite possibility that this could happen.

We’re not fucking idiots Mike. You don’t have to worry about us. I guarantee you the people most furious about this understand the stakes.

We didn’t need 3. We needed 2. And I hope those two are haunted forever by Bove flipping a circuit court and dismantling the rule of law in America. We should expect the bare minimum from our elected leaders. Not letting a circuit court flip under their watch is a bare minimum.

There were three who told Schumer they were no votes.

And those three should live in shame in the ashes of our democracy for the rest of time.

Which has nothing directly to do with my question, but thanks for the stirring oratory.

Maybe Schumer could have pressured those two the way McConnell & Thune pressure their senators idk. He thinks fighting antisemitism in America is his biggest issue right now and Republicans are his friends. He seems not prepared for this moment. And you should be able to criticize him for it

Why is that an eye roll? There are clearly still Dems in denial over what we are facing (an authoritarian takeover of our government) and are just trying to save themselves or hide in the sand hoping this goes away. We need fighters and we need to elect fighters.

It means they didn’t even try whipping votes; yes, as I’ve argued repeatedly before

If they didn’t try whipping votes how did they know they had 48 votes & who the 3 no votes were? Do you know why Rosen & Masto were no votes, & what could have been done to make them yes votes but wasn’t tried? Because if not this seems to be denying them agency while applying Murc’s Law to the WH
