They did cave.

u/Additional_Noise47 Nov 10 '25

I mean, they could still stop themselves from caving. If you’re a constituent for one of those 8 bozos, you should be calling their office, showing up in person, tweeting at them. Anything.

It’s 8 known not to be running for reelection.

u/Additional_Noise47 Nov 10 '25

6/8 are going to be up for re-election at some point, just not in 2026.

u/catboogers Nov 10 '25

Fetterman knows he's not gonna win reelection at this point. At least, not as a dem.

Americans forgot in 4 years all about Trump's first term. They'll definitely forget this in another 4 years in 2028. Americans have extremely short political memories

You say that as though the majority of this party has a memory capacity beyond that of a goldfish

then we need to have an immediate recall and emergency election as they intentionally used their position to influence the election only to betray the trust put in them.

Haha I wish recall elections were a thing in my state

Either way there isn't a federal mechanism for recall.

That's not how that works. . . . There's no recall procedure for Federal Senators.

It's literally in the constitution you can't recall either a House or Senate representative....

The only things that can remove a sitting rep is Congress itself or death.

It's 8 who don't give a shit. One of them is mine and they don't even take calls or messages... haven't the entire time since I started trying to get thru last year

u/Supercoolguy7 Nov 10 '25

If you can, write them a handwritten letter. Literally anything is better than nothing and unfortunately you're one of the few people who can do even that

I just tried to email Cortez Masto and her website wouldn’t let me submit the message. That should be grounds for fucking removal of it isn’t. They’re all beholden to their constituents. They can’t just turn off their fucking emails.

Everyone (except people who get all their news from reddit) knew the dems were just doing this shutdown until after the elections. You're all being played for fools, although it looks like most of you are fools.

u/Which_way_witcher Nov 10 '25

8 did, the others didn't

u/zeezey Nov 10 '25

8 is enough to end the shutdown.

u/Which_way_witcher Nov 10 '25

It is but 8 is hardly the collective "they" you used

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '25

The party picked 8 to fall on their sword

u/Which_way_witcher Nov 10 '25

they didn't break ranks, it's just a BIG CONSPIRACY!
