86 Demokraten stimmen gemeinsam mit der GOP für eine „sehr, sehr dumme“ Resolution zur Verurteilung des Sozialismus | „Der Minderheitsführer im Repräsentantenhaus, Jeffries, stimmt mit der GOP für diese Resolution und zeigt damit seinen ultrareichen Spendern genau, für wen er kämpft“, sagte ein progressiver Führer. „Es sind nicht die Menschen.“

I expect that 86 Democrats are getting some fat donor checks right about now.

And the democrats wonder why nobody trusts them, donates to them (other than aipac and the billionaires), or votes for them. This is why american politics ia taught differently,  because there is only a center right and an extreme right here. 

86 people think performative resolutions condemning socialism are the most important thing to be doing while the country slides into fascism.

This is a great list of people not to put back into office.

It was a performative move by the Republicans timed with Mamdani’s visit to the White House. But to see 86 centrist Democrats support this nonsense demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of the threat from the right, the degree to which some are out of touch with the electorate, and their belief in capitulation. Same with the Kirk resolution where even a centrist like Sarah McBride voted in favor, and she’s trans. They’re all meaningless resolutions but it makes many wonder if there is a moral code actually driving these Democrats.

OWW! The stupid! It burns!

So they basically voted to say they officially don’t like helping people in need.

Damn, sure sucks we aren’t able to do anything productive like lowering insurance rates. Moderate dems wasting everyone’s time as per usual. Someone needs to primary this empty suit.

They voted for this just hours before Mamdani’s meeting with Trump. They’re very out of touch with their own party.

Not surprising. I feel like since Clinton, centrist dems are basically liberal republicans.

Progressive dems need to pull the party left. C’mon voters, do your thing and vote these guys out.

What „socialism“ are we condemning? Police and fire? Clean water and air? Interstate highways? Public schools? Parks, libraries and museums?

The problem isn’t the politicians. They know better. But if they want to reach out to stupid voters, they have to say stupid things.

So, it’s good that they separated themselves out.

Now, they can be primaried.

Let’s remove them all from office and put in politicians who are FOR the people in their place.

Cool story. Now do a vote condemning fascism

„tHe DeMoCrAtS hAvE gOnE tOo FaR lEfT!“

So sick of having 2 right wings parties as our only choice

Resolutions are just congressional hissy fits. I understand the importance of talking about this one because it reveals something about some democrats (as if we didn’t already know which ones would do something like this) but other than that I don’t care.

Jeffries has to go. Also fuck all the votedem sub people who defend this neoliberal trash. YOU are the problem. By not holding dems to a higher standard, you keep allowing people like Trump to win.

The Uniparty at work.

Primary every one of these fucking twats.

Also Reddit needs to shut the fuck up claiming centrists care about the people. There’s example after example of them being different side of the same coin.

“And now, a moment of silence to reflect on all the poor billionaires who have been impacted by the horrors of paying taxes.”

It’s 100% performative nonsense by Republicans, but also every Democrat who voted for it has alienated its base and needs to be primaried. Choose one.

Democrats are at best a center right party, when a representative in a purple district votes against socialism in a non-binding resolution, they’re a DINO. Choose one!

They aren’t Dems then. Holy fucking shit

I can’t believe dems are voting for a single thing republicans propose. it definitely wouldn’t be true the other way around.

So 86 Democrats are fascism enablers and apologists.

I hope their voters primary all of them at the next opportunity.

My note to my Congressman Bill Keating (D) of Massachusetts:

I have read with the dismay about the congressman’s vote in support of H. Con. Res. 58 (119th Congress), which sweepingly states – without qualification of any sort – “[t]hat Congress denounces socialism in all its forms, and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States.” The specific failed policies, horrific harms, and long list of authoritarians mentioned in the resolution are certainly worthy of condemnation. But, it is a grossly mistaken view to believe that “socialism in all its forms” should be denounced. Are not some of our greatest societal achievements forms of socialism — e.g., labor laws, Medicare and Medicaid, Social Security, the ACA, and the list goes on? Moreover, while it is all well and good to denounce authoritarianism, why is it restricted to authoritarianism that arises from “socialism.“ Indeed, in response to the rise of authoritarianism in this country, haven’t we on the left been protesting against Kings, federal thuggery under the guise of law and immigration enforcement, and the stripping away and diminishment of the socialist-adjacent programs and policies I just mentioned. Why does the resolution stop at only authoritarianism arising out of socialism. In fact, many within our party, disillusioned with establishment politics and establishment party members, have embraced and elected avowed Democratic Socialists to two of our country’s great metropolitan cities, New York and Seattle. Aren’t they embracing socialism “in one of its forms”? Are you denouncing these new leaders and their supporters, coming mostly from within our own party? And, if not, why not say so and make it clear that our historically “socialist” programs and aligned Democratic Socialist leaders and supporters are not swept up in this denouncement. After all, it is quite clear that many of our brethren, particularly those on the right, do not see or make the distinction. Or is it just a way on the part of the democratic House supporters of the resolution to keep all options open, i.e. keep appealing to voters on the right who who fear anything with the name “social” – ism associated with it like Democratic Socialists Zohran Mamdani and Zohran Kwame Mamdani, but maintain plausible deniability about condemning these types of leaders and the growing movement behind them when confronted. That would be the mark of a cowardly leader.

Given the above, as a constituent, I would appreciate a clear unequivocal response indicating whether you intended or believed that Democratic Socialism, including its policies and programs (like the ones historically supported by we Democrats) and its adherents and supporters, to be included in the denunciation in H. Con. Res. 58 (119th Congress).

Thank you for your time and anticipated response.

I suppose they don’t like their socialized salaries and healthcare then? Sounds like it’s time to remove those benefits if they are so opposed to socialism
