Why is it whenever you see some dumbass bill or motion passed, it’s always these chucklefucks you see from Illinois
J
Eric Sorenson is a real POS.
P
It’s kinda like in WV, you can mostly win as Democrat here if you’re borderline Republican, unless you’re in Chicago or Champaign/Urbana, maybe Bloomington. Without Chicago it would just be Illibama here.
H
man it’s always fucking budzinski
Z
Raj wants to replace another crap Illinois political Durban. Vote wisely.
A
You said it – he thinks he’s just going to sashay into that seat snd do absolutely nothing like they all do. I have tried to call his office numerous times and not even his aides pick up. They’re “above” it, think they’ve got it all wrapped up. Please show them they’re wrong
R
With his funding lead he’s going to be tough to beat.
D
Only way past is Grassroots. Just gotta work harder than him and let him get lazy.
S
This seems like the easiest slam dunk political hit ad for Kelly or Stratton’s campaigns to start running across Chicagoland. What are they waiting for?
Z
Well I guess we have our work cut out for us then.
T
Brad Schneider is a piece of shit
J
Raja Krishnamoorthi is trying to replace Dick Durbin, vote accordingly.
E
Don’t call him Raja call him POS!
I
Fuck Budzinski. I finally put my Blaha sign out tonight.
D
I just donated to a political campaign for the first in my life. And it was to “Daddy” Dylan “Beefcake” Blaha. Oh, I like what he says and his policy positions and and stuff, too.
W
Fuck yes, primary this republican disguised as a Democrat. So fuckin tired of her.
C
LA PROTESTS***, not “riots”
B
I KNEW Schneider would be on the list
T
We can no longer depend on political leaders to protect us. The federal government and its personal masked police force no longer has any credibility. General Strike is the most effective and most peaceful way to demand change. It works. Also start organizing locally, we can make change and protect our communities. Remember we have the numbers on our side, that is our biggest lever. Watch the billionaires and corporations freak out, without their support the government will fall. General Strike.
D
This is the way
A
Everyone, everywhere, all at once. We need solidarity now and forever, asap.
A
We also need regular folks (us) to run for office in any and all elections. Deadass.
A
I’m pretty pissed at Schneider, but I doubt my lack of decorum, anti establishment and anti oligarchy rhetoric will resonate in his district. Still considering it tho.
L
Eric Sorensen is always on these goddamn lists… I’d say vote for Montez Soliz, but he was kicked off the ballot.
E
And that other fucker! Now I’m not going to call him Raja I’m going to call him POS!
G
Thank you. I will be contacting my rep tomorrow.
W
I am unsure how to feel about this list. On the one hand, I see no names of anyone I can vote to send home. On the other hand, I see no names of anyone I can vote to send home. Not being part of the problem is nice, but not being able to be part of the solution is frustrating.
C
Not riots, protests. A few torched waymos does not a riot make.
A
I’ve emailed Brad once a week the past three weeks. Do you think he has responded at all?
A
LA riots? Did I miss something?
N
Schneider is holding a virtual town hall TONIGHT at 6:30.
W
Ohio here, will work tirelessly to replace these OH dems.
G
Really upset about Marcy. She’s from my hometown:(
A
That’s good, then you have an opportunity to do something to get rid of her
T
Remember their names. Make sure they never get elected again.
S
Thanks for posting
O
Courtney? From CT? I am shocked.
T
“The Opposition Party”
M
I can’t believe we’re gonna replace Durbin with Raja (I can but I don’t like it)
D
Shame on me I guess, but I’m a bit shocked to see Eric Swalwell and Eugene Vindman on the list
O
This list is being presented as “Democrats who thanked ICE,” which is *partially* true. I had to look this up because my memory was fuzzy as to *when* this vote occurred. It was June 9, 2025 and the bill’s title was “Denouncing the antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, CO.” [source article](https://www.newsweek.com/75-democrats-house-antisemitism-resolution-ice-gratitude-2083177) and [GovTrack H.Res 488](https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/119/hres488) >Monday’s resolution condemned this month’s antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado, in which the suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, faces 118 criminal charges. Soliman is accused of targeting a march calling for the return of Israeli hostages in Gaza. >The resolution also “affirms that free and open communication between State and local law enforcement and their federal counterparts remains the bedrock of public safety and is necessary in preventing terrorist attacks; and expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for protecting the homeland.” I think that we should make a habit of looking for these details when we see screenshots that don’t have dates and don’t have links, especially when they seem to confirm what we’re feeling. I’m not posting these links to change anyone’s feelings. I’m not accusing the people who post this screenshot of being intentionally manipulative. I think it’s important that people have a more complete view of *any* incindiary thing, and the media will not be helping us out in that endeavor. This is going to be a looong year.
W
Please IL 13 vote Budzinski’s establishment ass out. PRIMARY PRIMARY PRIMARY Holy fuck.
A
Great example of how the left can’t help but go after their own. I’m not supporting voting in favor of this resolution, but note how only Dems get flack in this post and none of the 200+ Republicans who voted for it do.
S
Because zero Democrats should have voted for this fascist bullshit. At least we have a list of people to primary.
O
There is no one on that list I would call left. “Democrat” does not mean, and has never meant, “leftist.” As a left leaning person I EXPECT Republicans to be closeted , simpering fascists. However, no one who votes Democrat voted for any of these people to lick boots. So, yes, from a leftist, if these quislings were to rot in the desert sun, the people would not lose a single ally. They are not our own.
R
This resolution both condemned an antisemitic attack and praised ICE, it was a bad faith bill designed to bait the left into infighting. Don’t take the bait. It didn’t do anything, save your purity tests for bills with real consequences.
B
None of them had to vote for this.
I
Exactly. Democrats should be smart enough not to take the bait on these performative GOP bills.
R
That would mean voting not to condemn antisemitism. Either way they have to cast a vote (or no vote) that looks bad out of context. I guess these Democrats thought the voters who care the most about ICE would be smart enough to get that.
J
Problem is unless you live in these districts you can’t really do anything. I’m in a different district from these myself
