Not that Dems were going to win this, but Schumer could have controlled the narrative and the message at the end. he failed in every possible way.
He is weak and if dems want to show they care they need to replace him as minority leader tomorrow.
Bakedads on
Dude, the entirety of the party needed to go years ago, and that even includes folks like AoC. Not a single one has the courage to call the republican party what it actually is: a terrorist organization. And if they can’t even name it, there is no way they will do anything to stop it.

So the shutdown was because of Democrats, they didn’t want to open it. Starving people just to “stick it to Trump” is so idiotic.

Schumer is obviously terrible and should be replaced but this is nonsense:
> , to summarize, at a moment when the elections had left Republicans on the ropes, Democrats caved in exchange for a couple of months of government funding and a vote on health care that they are bound to lose, if Republicans even hold one
Last week’s elections did not change the balance of power federally one iota. Republicans are not on the ropes, they control everything. At most, last week’s elections increase the likelihood that voters will put Republicans partially on the ropes in 2027. That’s it.

Call your Senators and call for Schumer’s resignation as minority leader. I just did. It’s easy. (I’ve never called an elected representative before).
Well hang on now, everyone. Let’s take a beat here. Let’s turn down the rhetoric just a little bit until we can figure out what the fucking Baileys think of all of this.

The Democratic Senate caucus coordinated behind the scenes to get this result. The one who jumped on the metaphorical grenade were just the ones who were least vulnerable to elections.
If you have democratic senators, and you don’t like what happened last night, but let them know that unless they push for Schumer’s ouster, you’ll assume they were in on it, and you will 100% remind everyone you can at primary time.

I’m not a fan of conspiracy theories, but the group name here is suspicious.
If you look back to the cloture vote for the CR in March, it’s the similar core group of people that decided to surrender then.

The retiring members are also suspect. While they voted for this, their replacements that also fall into the same line has likely been picked.

If Schumer is still there, or at least if there’s no vote against him, all the Dems are complicit. Even the ones I might think are the good one, he needs to at least be brought up on a vote of no confidence.

The Republicans just held the well-being of American citizens, including their constituents, hostage in order to forward their rhetoric and give tax breaks to the rich while their supporters in the army, in government positions and within other federal jobs are fucked over.
The Republicans have been betrayed by their own party who are willing to throw as many people in front of the meat grinder as they need to to get their policies through.
