Durbin's constituents are getting pepper sprayed and beaten by ICE

[Arazi]

And he just voted to take away the access to the healthcare they’ll need as a result of that violence.

He’s not on the frontline so what does he care? He’s retiring with a cushy nest egg and premium healthcare for the rest of his life

[Walleye]

1. That's what I mean by personal insults

[Arazi]

2. So no comment on the content?

Just slamming the delivery?

Thanks for the kick

[Walleye]

3. Yes

[Gore1FL]

7. Reality is an insult now?

What part of what was posted wasn't factual?

[Walleye]

8. No, the substance is correct. But, but he's retiring and has a cushy nest egg and he doesn't care. Is personal.

I just refuse to believe that the Democrats don’t care what is happening to their constituents.

[quakerboy]

16. Despite the proof right in front of your eyes?

[Maru Kitteh]

19. Actions speak louder than words. I no longer CARE what they say.

From this day forward, I watch what they do. Solamente.

[Walleye]

20. Exactly. But I am willing to give Democrats the benefit of the doubt Republicans, no

[GAtomboy]

21. Really?!

Because look where that has gotten us… giving them the benefit of the doubt! 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Blues Heron]

26. It's a righteous rant not a personal insult, this a message board, not the Capitol switchboard

These guys think they’re going to backstab us and we’re just going to take it quietly? Come on man!

[dem4decades]

4. Maybe he voted yes as a favor to Schumer? He's retiring, Schumer isn't.

That way Schumer can look like he didn't cave and run again. Please, get Schumer out of leadership, he can't even get his right hand man to vote with him. Unless he didn't want him to.

5. Weren't they DC roommates?

In any case, Illinois is a state where we can / should safely vote in a very progressive senator next year.

[2naSalit]

6. Have you...

Actually read the text of that which was voted on?

[angrychair]

10. What does it matter?

The whole point of the shutdown was healthcare and they completely caved after 40 days of suffering and people in food lines and failed to achieve the whole fucking reason they forced us into shutdown in the first place.
A "promise" of a vote is a bag of magic beans. They were scammed.

Now millions of people will die.

9. I have a major Krush

On Kat Abughazaleh.

She is actually out there on the front lines, getting gassed and hit with batons while these assholes line their wallets

[MayReasonRule]

13. She'll Be A Formidable Opponent Against The Teeming Nazi Horde... She Already IS!

[orangecrush]

14. She has guts

It's refreshing.

[MayReasonRule]

22. I Tend Toward Surreptitious Resistance - She's Showed Up For More Than Her Fair Share Of Abuse...

Here's to success on all fronts, both those done publicly and those done in the shadows!

[LymphocyteLover]

11. Durbin was not taking their healthcare away. You're thinking of the Republicans.

[quakerboy]

17. He voted to help them do it.

[LymphocyteLover]

23. No, he voted to open the govt with a promise to have a vote to rescind the ACA cuts

Which assuming the vote is taken, I'm sure he will vote to restore the cuts to the subsidies.

[quakerboy]

25. a meaningless vote.

If a vote was all we wanted, there was no point in a shutdown. His particular vote in a meaningless bit of theater is beyond irrelevant.

We should be ostracizing those who voted to give trump this win.

[Blues Heron]

27. A promise from pukes to vote it down, what a great deal. Johnson already said it's doa. So they folded for nada

[Sogo]

12. He's also got thousands of constituents who have no place to turn for food because SNAP has been shut off

until this shutdown ends or the courts rule it must go forward regardless and TSF agrees to follow their ruling.

His state is also home to O'Hare airport, one of the largest and busiest in the nation, with millions wanting to travel for Thanksgiving and airlines cancelling thousands of flights.

[QueerDuck]

15. Oh good lord. He did no such thing.

[republianmushroom]

18. Republicans do care bout pepper spray or beating

just obedience.

[Autumn]

24. Why you gotta pick on people by posting this insulting reality ?

Maybe while they are bleeding and dying they can crawl home, lie on their back and think of England ? Americans are tough! Fuck that stinking healthcare.
