[Proud Liberal Dem]

1. Red State Dem up for re-election in 2018

Indiana, if that gives some context.

2. Fuck any Dem traitor who votes for him.

Repub can not be fucking rewarded for the shit the pulled with Obama's Nominee. We may still get stuck Gorsuch, but this needs to be a united stand and we're not gonna forgive or forget any of these assholes who break ranks.

7. And what?

Primary them with a progressive who couldn't possibly hold the seat?

3. Yes!!! 5 more and they save the filibuster.

Might as well make a deal now instead of just confirming him without getting something for it.

[democratisphere]

4. Spineless hypocrites.

[pat_k]

5. Assinine, but at least it only three total... so far.

We better not lose any more. We need EVERY single Dem who claims to oppose to join the FILIBUSTER.

We CANNOT have a repeat of Alito, where more than 40 voted No on the floor, but too few supported filibuster to stop him. Letting it go to the floor, and then voting No is NOT.opposition.. The only real opposition is NO on cloture .

6. Donnelly is probably in the tightest race of the red-state Dems.

I hate it, but I actually understand his vote. Manchin actually has a lot more name recognition and popularity in WV than Donnelly. But with caucus members like these...

The DNC really needs to start outreach in the Midwestern states like Indiana, Ohio, and Iowa. We're just letting the wingnuts control the message there.

8. So disgusted by this Gorsuch thing

After how Garland was treated, and now Repukes claiming it's unprecedented to filibsuter this and how horrible the Dems are, ugh. The hypocrisy is infuriating.

Meanwhile, just the very notion that a man under FBI criminal investigation for colluding with a foreign power gets to put someone on the SCOTUS for the next 40 years, even if he's convicted is just disgusting to me.

And there is not a single thing we can do to stop it. I'm so disgusted and angry over all this.

9. And he's still going to lose in 2018.

He seriously thinks backing Cheeto's SC nominee is going to make all those Democrat-hating idiots in his state vote for him?

What a coward and a fool.

10. If enough Dems vote and it results in the needed 61....

....well then......nothing I guess, right? Because we're supposed to just smile and say thank you to the conservative Dems in red states. Maybe we should just all lurch further right to placate them and preserve the sensitive feelings of their snowflake constituents.

I'm fucking tired of this shit.

Add in what the dems in the state legislature of NY pulled, and what went on in Baltimore with the Dem mayor breaking promise to support the $15 minimum wage......I have no confidence that we have a party that knows what the fuck needs to be done....or maybe they know but just don't give a fuck.

11. Remember...

Joe Donnelly was at 1 time my House Rep, he voted for Obamacare when I thought for sure he would get voted out b/c of it. Surprisingly he won re-election that time, but then when he ran for the Senate he never would've won, but Murdoch beat Lugar in the primary and then imploded w/ the rape comments. He's trying to protect himself, the way this state is going he'll be gone in 2018, he's about the only Dem to hold state wide office.
