Elected Democratic leaders have consistent attributes: they tend to be weak, cowardly, and simply indifferent to the needs of ordinary Americans. How long before their traditional anti-billionaire verbiage lose impact into fatigued ears, if they do not care about those who elect them in office? This reality must change: either elect ALL new people to the Senate, or a new party must emerge!
The Democrats in the Senate have proven themselves once again as weak and spineless jellyfish. They are ever plotting their own political careers at the expense of the American people. What alternative is there--Republicans? Hell no, and these establishment liberal politicians know we have no alternative given the current state of the nation. But never say never, as new political parties can emerge if we mobilize towards that direction. Such scenarios are a proven fact in the history of humankind when it comes to governments, and the United States is no different.
Democratic candidates just won a number of elections around the country on November 4, including Zohran Mamdani elected to the position of mayor in New York City, beating out his contender Andrew Cuomo who was actually endorsed by Donald Trump. Yet shortly after those elections, the congressional stalemate was over. On November 10, 2025, the shutdown lasting 41 days came to end; the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Eight *Democrats sided with the Republicans, which gave them the 60 votes needed to end the shutdown. The final vote was 60-40.
People are sick of this crap! People are sick of Democrats "acting" like establishment jellyfish which can never hold their ground on anything. I am convinced the political wins on the 4th were significantly fueled by voters perceiving the Democratic Party was developing a new boldness; something lackadaisical and diehard voters have been demanding for years. Yet with almost a relentless precision, the end result after such brief victories is predictably the same--disappointment. Count on it, the Democrats will compromise with Republicans if it benefits their political positions.
Right after the recent wins by Democrats on the 4th swept across the nation; the Democrats once again capitulated to Republican demands while they held all the leverage! Why the hell would Democrats fold when they held the upper hand? They are the establishment like the Republicans are the establishment. And keep in mind, all of the senate Democrats voted for the Charlie Kirk Resolution which honors a white supremacist who promoted hate while making money (see previous post). The Senate Democrats are indeed, cowards.
There is a contentious debate amongst my family, as I stand alone in saying there isn't a whole lot of difference between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to effecting change. Yes, I will agree the Republicans are essentially racist, yet both parties do little to dismantle systemic racism or addressing the needs of the poor, service, and working class people. Yet, I will concede, the Democrats have accomplished more in those areas. However, for one example, has Democratic leadership demanded and fought together to make a path towards a national healthcare system for all? The Affordable Care Act, albeit a small step in the right direction, did not cover millions of people; in fact thousands have been dying per year for a very long time. And now new deaths will emerge to this list as millions more will not be able to afford the new premiums which soon go into effect. The cosplaying in Congress needs to cease.
We need all of the Democratic Senate replaced--all of them, or either we need a NEW party. But rest assured if all were replaced, unless they are progressive, it will be the same old song and dance--to maintain the existing establishment. Therefore, will any real change occur with moderates?
I firmly believe the United States will be hit with a tsunami wave of voter resignation because the Democrats caved in once again. This is going to further fuel indifference and apathy which has been suffocating our continued fight for civil rights and equality in the first place. We simply cannot get anywhere with this party. Congress has become about Congress, and not the people.
I watch a select group of YouTube political influencers daily, and one channel believes more than eight *Democrats would had sided with the Republicans, but only if it were necessary to end the stalemate. But since eight people threw themselves into the Republican's camp, the other Democrats in agreement to end the shutdown remained silent. Basically, so those senators would appear unblemished to their electorate (uh...too late). Regarding elections, one influencer stated in a video, people are voting against Trump as oppose to voting for the actual Democratic candidate. Believe, the congressional Democrats are fully cognizant about the liberal voter's dilemma. People have no choice but to vote Democrat or Independent--unless a new party emerges and we get the likes of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries out! And we all know voting Independent typically dilutes voter outcomes. All of the Senate needs to be replaced, yet there are some Democrats in the House of Representatives which should still be supported--but the rest need to go!
Below the list of the seven Senate Democrats, and one *independent who sided with the Republicans. Two of the Democrats are reported to be retiring soon.
