That’s exactly what it is. Dems leaders are stupid cowards. You can’t ‘preserve norms’ while the other side is busy torching them. Old leadership has got to go. We need new leadership.

40 days of suffering and inconvenience for everyone, all for what?
Now this would be paraded as a democratic shutdown and they deserve this shit.
I’m so pissed right now man.

The Democrat Senators who caved sold us all out.

It’s a positive sign that we’re seeing lots more Dems tearing into the turncoat cowards this time than we did back in March.

The Democratic party needs to be entirely eliminated. They saw the progressive victory on Tuesday and said that they must keep moving further to the right.
And the worst part of all? The Democrats are now responsible for absolutely everything that happened during the shutdown.

It’s the centrists like fetterman so shut up when saying it’s the leadership..

Now people get to ignore that Republicans worked hard to avoid feeding the people on SNAP.
The Democrats need a face-lift.

Democrats Always Chicken Out

Newsom is right to call the deal “pathetic” if it’s a total surrender on essential priorities. The issue isn’t just about avoiding a shutdown, but about addressing the real budgetary and political problems. An agreement that’s just a “band-aid” to buy time solves nothing and only postpones the crisis.

Damn what a shitshow the dems are. Pathetic!

This is what Democrats do best, cave to Republican pressure. That’s all they’re good for. They have many of the same donors as Republicans, they are paid to cave to their interests.

This is what’s going to happen since some Dems relented:
They’ll get a Senate floor vote for ACA – Big freakin’ deal. As a lifelong Democratic voter, they have lost in this game of chicken, and they deserve what’s coming to them. Too bad for ACA people – you are sacrificial lambs.

Makes no sense to drag it out this long just to give up. Literally the dumbest thing they could’ve done.

This is what’s going to happen since some Dems relented:
[ACA Marketplace Premium Payments Would More than Double on Average Next Year if Enhanced Premium Tax Credits Expire](https://www.kff.org/affordable-care-act/aca-marketplace-premium-payments-would-more-than-double-on-average-next-year-if-enhanced-premium-tax-credits-expire/)
A person with a $28k income will have their premiums increase from $325 to a WHOPPING $1238. Take that for what you will.
Newsom is only saying that because… *checks notes*… its true.
Welcome to the Democratic Party. Don’t worry Gov, you will get used to it

Expel the defectors from the DNC.
