Hey, if you're a progressive in any of these districts, try and unseat these assholes.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 month ago

Been trying to get rid of Case for years now, but politics here is an insider club and he hasn't had any real challengers since getting elected with a plurality in a 7 person primary where a former-Republican ran to his left. He's been a horrible embarrassment ever since. One of the worst representatives in the entire party when you look at his district lean compared to his voting history.

Remember when DWS threatened Obama because he wanted to replace her as DNC chair? I remember.

Are these the "enemies within" that Trump kept talking about?

[-] Talaraine@fedia.io 10 points 1 month ago

And to think I was trying to get Allred to unseat Cruz.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

Are you kidding? He's still 100000x better than Cruz.

A turnip with a face drawn on with a sharpie would be better than Cruz

Seeing Washington on the list makes me feel betrayed.

Oh look, it’s Henry Cuellar. The indicted DINO who barely beat a progressive last primary after Nancy Pelosi endorsed him.

Zionists and fascists work together because zionism is just another form of fascism. Especially christian fascists who are the vast majority of zionists in USA.

These people would rather support Trump than oppose genocide.

I looked up Illinois’ Brad Schneider as I live in the Chicago area. Sure enough, guy is Jewish and involved with AIPAC.

I’m very seriously thinking of writing him to give a piece of my mind. I don’t care if he’s Jewish or not - if this is literally about suppressing someone’s right to protest (Palestine vs Israel), then he does not represent me or many others.

It ain't called the new Jerusalem for nothing.

[-] EmpireInDecay@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

It's a big club...

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month ago

Actually, that would be giving Biden insane new powers, would it not? He's still President if I'm not mistaken

What the fuck do you think happens to the powers on January 20th?

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago

If the Senate passes the bill, and if Biden signs (some big ifs) then Trump would have those powers. But, if those "ifs" don't happen the bill is dead and the next Congress will have to vote again.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

Ok, cool story. What is your point? They voted for a bill, whether other people stop it is irrelevant to their personal responsibility for voting to give Trump a tool of oppression.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago

Members of Congress trade their votes all the time. Hardly something that's new.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

This is a very dumb read based on literally no evidence for the actions of this list of reliable quislings.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Whatever. Just stating facts. If they're not liked it means little difference to me.

  1. 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.
