Furious Democrats are pushing “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to primary Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) after he agreed to vote with Republicans to avoid a government shutdown, according to reports.

      If they take over the party, you have to shoulder the responsibility of everything the parties done in the past. It’s easier to just start a new one, because I don’t fucking feel like a democrat anymore. I’m tired of calling myself a democrat. Because democrats are spineless feckless fucking morons that spend tens of millions of dollars after they lose an election to find out why, and then do absolutely fucking nothing with that information.

      The sheer level of idiocy and hubris required to spend that kind of money to find out a way to fix a problem, and when you have that information do nothing with it is beyond anything the forefathers could have ever fucking dreamed of.

      We need to take responsibility, because we broke democracy. The two party system doesn’t work anymore. I want out.

        100% Democrats don’t represent me; I am not a Corporation.

        I would like a political party that represents actual constituents, and the Dems ain’t ever giving up their corp gravy train.
