It sounds like a bunch of Democrats want to cave in exchange for no concessions whatsoever. Edit: Bloomberg has more details
Current likely Democratic votes for this:
- Shaheen - NH
- Hassan - NH
- King - ME
- Fetterman - PA
- Peters - MI
- Durbin - IL
- Warner - VA
- Kaine - VA
- Ossoff- GA
- Warnock - GA
If you want to change things, you need to call their DC office NOW, and leave an email if you can’t.
Edit 2: enough Democrats joined the Republicans to reopen the government with no real concessions.
The list:
- Durbin
- Hassan
- King
- Cortez Masto
- Kaine
- Shaheen
- Rosen
- Fetterman
- Schumer
- Gillibrand
There was a caucus meeting right before this, so the bulk of the Senate Democrats were likely OK with giving in, even if not willing to vote for it in public
For those paying attention. It ended when the FAA started to ground private planes due to staffing shortages.
Those mega donors are the ones who pressured the vote. Not for the good of society. But because they started to get inconvenienced.
Even if your Democratic senator didn’t vote for this, call them up and call them out for allowing the spinless democrats to once again get fucked by Republicans for nothing.
But they are not the same trust me bro. It is not all performative politics with no real impact. Democrats will save us trust me bro. One more lawsuit bro. One more vote and we defeat facism I promise.
Absolutely fucking pathetic
Every time I said they would buckle, I was downvoted. The Democratic party as an institute is not on our side, they use rhetoric to pacify us and prevent a full on revolution that’s well overdue.
Wow it’s almost like we know how they work and their brainwashed sycophants were conditioned to disagree with any criticism of their party.
The ratchet effect with a massively shifted Overton window as made telling the truth become violence to the state.
A new list of Dems to vote out with new lefties.
I can’t wait to see the form letter full of platitudes I receive in response from both of my senators about thsi
Fuck this shit pathetic
I can’t take this anymore. I’m fucking done. Fuck these traders. Fuck my fucking dumbass fucking neighbors. Fuck my fucking asshole family. Fuck all these people. Fuck New Hampshire with the biggest fucking dildo ever Fuck you New Hampshire Fuck you New Hampshire Fuck you New Hampshire

Where are you getting that information & why not cite primary sources? It’s on the senate website:
- Cortez Masto
- Durbin
- Fetterman
- Hassan
- Kaine
- Rosen
- Shaheen
Notably, Schumer voted no.
Schumer coordinated the Yes vote among Democrats
You also missed King
It wasn’t on the Senate website yet when I posted

Citation missing?
You also missed King
According to the website
King (I-ME)
King isn’t a Democrat.
wasn’t on the Senate website yet
Fair. Still, where did the other names come from?
Me looking at cspan screenshot during the vote.
And there is no way Schumer wasn’t coordinating this; he held a caucus meeting right beforehand, and the Yea votes were all Democrats who have 4+ years to their next election
cspan screenshot during the vote
From this Senate vote & video?

So…citation missing & speculation conflicting their no vote & statement in the CSPAN post?
While you clearly know how to edit a post, you still haven’t corrected it. Why are you doing this?
Yeah, this is absurd, who are all the accounts voting him up when the misinformation he posted isn’t correct and he isn’t even bothering to edit it? It’s would be so easy to correct to, he just needs to put notes on why they should be included. Here, I’ll do it for him:
Democrats who voted yes:
- Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)
- Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.)
- Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.)
- Tim Kaine (D-Va.)
- Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.)
- Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.)
- Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.)
Additionally:
- Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) - Independent who caucuses with Democrats, voted yes.
- Schumer - Voted no but is getting blamed for being ineffective as Senate Democratic. He had dropped a counter-offer to Republicans to end the shutdown to get assurances regarding Obamacare which they rejected.
Completely wrong about Gillibrand, it’s simply a flat out lie that he voted yes. He joined in along with Schumer on the counter-offer, but the Republicans did not agree to that and this is not what this vote was. A lot of people are mad at their attempts to reach bipartisan compromise, but even though that’s probably where a lot of the claims that they negotiated a “yes” vote are coming from, that was still something that needed to make the rounds again back at the House and had nothing to do with this vote.
Personally, I think Schumer is getting blamed as a escape goat, he doesn’t hold a magic stick that can force other democrats to vote like they did. US parties are basically more of an alignment towards certain groups of lobbyists than what other countries would consider political parties. What likely did so was money, influence, and power, the US has been an oligarchy for quite some time now.
The United States is the laughing stock of the world.
Really disappointed to see both my senators (GA) on here. Thank you for putting the link in your post, I’ll write them both now.
Call today. A letter won’t be fast enough.
As I said before, both parties wanted to cut the programs and fire federal workers because their donors wanted it. They pretend to fight over this wile actually working hand in hand to take money from the poor and funnel it to the 1%. Now that the shutdown was starting to really bite it’s time to announce some “compromise”. People are still fired, programs are still cut and politicians will keep pretending to disagree over this.
Once again pulling defeat out of the jaws of victory. All they had to do was literally nothing, but they couldn’t even be trusted to do that.
Schumer is the hand of satan himself.
He organized this whole thing, he got the votes, he set the agenda and then guess what he did at the last minute. Just fucking guess.
He voted against the continuing resolution and washed his hands of it so the accountability doesn’t land on him. He wanted his fat stack to spend on his gold-plated spectacles or coffin or whatever the fuck these ancient liches are planning on doing with all this wealth.

As I always say, they are the same party. The shutdown was just for show.
I emailed mine last week, begging them to hold the line. As usual, spineless fucking cowards.
Traitors
