Vote them out (if we’re still allowed to vote when that time comes). In the meantime, let them know how you feel. Letters, postcards, emails, phone calls, comments on their social media: all of these things. Be civil, be smart. But you gotta do something.

Problem being, the DNC will ensure no other viable Democrats run against them in the primary, so come the general election, we'll once again be stuck choosing between shit and radioactive shit.

Don't forget protests and demonstrations. Make it very clear they're not welcome where you live.

The only positive in this bill is that it didn't straight up eliminate any agencies. Otherwise there was absolutely no benefit for 99% of the American people. They are MAGA.

Gary Peters is retiring and I guess decided that he needed to fuck us all over one last time on his way out. Turned off his phone system too. Absolute shitlord

NY here, calling my senators Monday and telling them they've lost my vote and I'll be voting for any primary challenger. I'm not continuing this sham anymore. I'll sooner not vote than tolerate this betrayal of representing my interests.

I have despised Schumer and Gillibrand ever since they colluded to stab Al Franken in the back by joining a Republican smear campaign against him. They, and MAGA, knew he'd be running for president in 2020, and that he would be a very formidable candidate, so both wanted him out. The Republicans ran that nasty smear campaign against him, and Schumer and Gillibrand jumped on it, and destroyed his career in order to clear the decks for her presidential campaign. Those two scumbag whores stabbed one of of their own, one of the smartest members of the Senate, in the back, only to have her egotistical vanity campaign flame out in a few weeks.

They ruined the career of one of the smartest, most honest men I've ever seen in politics (extremely rare), and one of the best opportunities to end MAGA once and for all. Remember that stage full of Democratic candidates so weak that Biden rose to the top? Surely Al Franken would have used his intelligence, humor, and charisma to mop the floor with all of them. Imagine if Al Franken had become president instead of Biden?

Schumer needs to be voted out as Senate minority leader in humiliating fashion, so AOC can take his place, and then Gillibrand has to be primaried by a progressive shark.

Fuck those two treasonous backstabbing whores, I wish the worst that life offers for them.
