if one of these is your particular Senator, and you can spare energy for a call, free fax (send with FaxZero), or email telling them exactly what you think of them supporting & enabling a genocidal apartheid state... please do.

these people have names and addresses. it's time for some accountability.

Brain damage really made him into something else entirely

Fetterman was always a piece of shit and you fell for the dnc whitewashing of his garbage personality and politics. It is well documented if you even spend 5 minutes looking into his past that long before his stroke he was a rich privilege baby (was paid $50k a year by his rich dad to be mayor of his poor town that couldn’t afford to pay the mayor, thus only rich dicks could run and hold the office), that abused his power regularly (suspiciously won by a single vote the first time and when it appeared his re election may not happen he used his connections to the cops in town to leak arrest records of his opponent right before the election), hates poor people (his plan to “fix the town” was continually gentrification and not anything that would actually address the systemic issues of the town. He goes on about how he loves the town and gets the name tattooed for optics but he just loves the small class of elites that live there and wants to price out the “undesireables”), and is racist (literally held a black jogger at gunpoint with a loaded shotgun because someone set off some fireworks near his house which are legal in PA, this was years before Ahmaud Arbery was murdered in the exact same fashion, and fetterman has not only not apologized, he actively refuses to do so)

This doesn’t even cover how he was a bully as mayor, how he would circumvent democratic process and citizen input to do projects he wanted to do regardless of if anyone else wanted them, how he considered himself the “head cop” of the town, how he tried to shut down black frequented local businesses like nightclubs and made it a personal mission despite them being operated legally because he felt they were a “nuisance”

Classic democrat, always a piece of shit, always rich from birth, but a hoodie made you think he was blue collar and a stroke made you think brain damage turns people conservative. The stroke made him more impulsive, so now he has a harder time playing the optics game and hiding his true colors, but they were always clear. Read his Wikipedia page and you’ll find sources for every single thing I’ve written, none of this is controversial or conspiracy shit. It is well documented parts of his past that is just ignored because the media is complicit

Getting into office made it safe for him to take the mask off. His stroke had nothing to do with it.

I just informed the senator of Washington of my disapproval. While looking for her contact info, her twitter popped up with her saying the Gaza situation worsens daily and that she's working to help secure a ceasefire. Then she goes and votes against stopping the weapons sale.

thank you! I believe I got a friend of mine in WA to get in touch with her as well!

[–] vladmech@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Amazingly disappointed to see both my CA senators on here. Time to reach out and let them know this is a deal breaker for me

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Isn't Padilla one of them? He had his big moment, and that's the only reason the name sounds familiar. That one surprises me.

[–] vladmech@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah Schiff I have low expectations for but Padilla surprised me with this

[–] ThorrJo@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 day ago

I will be delivering a blistering assessment of my Senator's character as a human being to his inbox this afternoon, and informing him that any small way I can contribute to the removal of him and his party from power, I will.

we need a real opposition party in this country, not these corrupt & spineless maggots.

Unsurprisingly, they all took hundreds of thousands to millions from AIPAC.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

AIPAC. These people need doxxed; names, faces, addresses. They should be hunted for fucking sport.

Yeah, I'm angry, and "angry" is stating it politely. These animals have bought and paid for our entire legislative branch. No one dare make a move for fear of being called an anitsemite.

The propaganda had me by the balls for decades! No, Israel has forfeited their right to exist. Nope. Y'all had your chance. Blew it. Get scattered to the ends of the Earth again.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Fuck, I somewhat liked Ron Wyden

The senators from Israel who occupy NY's seats just turn off their phone lines basically weekly to prevent constituents from dispiriting their staff.

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Cory Booker? Thought he was one of the good ones...

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 day ago

He’s also owned by AIPAC.

[–] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 day ago

Cory booker will do align himself with the view that he feels is most likely to entrench himself with money and power. He does not care about what is right

When big pharma was lining his pockets he was happy to take the money for many years. When it became unfashionable politically to do so he distanced himself and loudly proclaimed how great he was for eschewing their money but otherwise still voted in line with dems basically 100% of the time.

When Trump confirmed people booker did his optics filibuster but voted to confirm or skipped votes where he could’ve helped prevent confirmation (eg he didn’t actually do anything to prevent that Americans wouldn’t notice, he just did his filibuster that was widely reported on then went back to falling in line with leadership)

[–] Tiger@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago

He’s a gasbag full of shit, talking out both sides. He also voted for Kushner’s criminal father to be ambassador to France.

Its a shame. He has meet and warmly greeted the war criminal Netanyahu. Though I am not sure when the clip I saw was from but Netanyahu has been a peiec of shit for a very long time and it looks current

[–] ThorrJo@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago

there are no good ones.
