The MAGA Republicans will never negotiate in good faith.

They’re getting played if they actually want the ACA extension.
The deal is to vote for the Republican house package as it is and Thune will allow a separate vote on ACA extensions.
I’m so sick of these couple centrist Democrats always giving everything away for nothing in return.
I’m guessing what they actually want is Republicans to cause more suffering so they can run against it, rather than to deliver anything for the people.

The Democrats caved. They had a winning hand and threw it away. Now Republicans will screw them over and the Dems will pretend to be oh so shocked that they were lied to.
Fuck this.

The moderate democrats caved without getting anything. Congrats republicans! I am tonights biggest loser being a democrat. This party sucks and they are cowards. All the dems that will vote for this need to be primaried asap.

They just showed that they will always eventually give in. Trump will be celebrated as a master negotiator. Pathetic.

The news is still hot and freshmen so far it looks like three senators have gone rogue and possibly could be on their own. Nothing is set nd everyone is reacting without reading.

This is tentative and going on some old info still. It said Schumer would vote “yes”… BUT
Schumer most recently said he’d vote ‘no’:
After Democrats met for over two hours to discuss the proposal, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer emerged to say he would vote “no.”
Republicans are bullies and democrats are pussies. Bunch of fucking traitors.

Never underestimate the Democrats ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
How pathetic.

Party polling showed Democratic voters wanted them to hold out and not cave. Polling across the nation showed people blamed Republicans and Trump.
Literally not a single good reason to do this, and so many good reasons to keep fighting. This is the kind of shit that turns people away from the Democratic Party. Fully earning that “do nothing Democrat” nickname right now.

What Democrats are doing is giving up
And putting Republicans on vote record in December voting No to extend subsidies.
And in the end, the subsidies won’t be renewed, screwing over tens of millions of people and putting the entire country through all of this for nothing
….all because these defector Democrats think they can use the Republican vote record to their advantage in the mid-terms.
What a disgrace. An absolute disgrace.

So they caved for a bunch of promises? Have they learned nothing?

It really was all for nothing. This right here…this is why people fucking give up on democracy and accept corruption and autocracy as inevitable endpoints of society. This is why so many people in younger generations have become cynical, nihilistic, and radicalized.
And yet…was it really ever going to end any differently? Republicans made it clear they were completely fine with holding the country hostage indefinitely and didn’t care how much it hurt Americans. Democrats are the ones supposed to actually care about Americans. We always knew who was going to blink first.
It really was a “heads I win, tails you lose” scenario in Trump’s favor.
“The senators viewed as most likely to vote for a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government are Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), Jon Ossoff (Ga.), Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), Peter Welch (D-Vt.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) and Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.).”

Expect ACA to be dead because of these democrats.

Oh so they’ll put the extension to a vote at a later date? This is like being elementary school gullible. You know they are going to vote no in unison. How could you fall for that?

This is so frustrating. The pain from the shutdown is now in vain because they may as well have caved 35 days ago. Why can the Democratic Party never stick to their guns when it counts the most.

Pussy ass bitches just won themselves a fast pass to not getting re-elected.
unaskthequestion on
So tired of this, make a stand or don’t.
From what I’ve read it’s a ‘promise’ to vote on the subsidies ‘sometime’ in December and a CR that will keep the gov open until Jan.
So we go a couple of months and then have another fight. The republicans already got their tax cuts for billionaires and gutted programs the less well off rely on to live.
The democrats will get nothing.

A pinkie-promise for a vote that on a bill that will never cross 60 votes. Way to fucking go. Oh boy, you showed ’em.

I know I am not the brightest star in the galaxy, but can someone please enlighten me what the fuck he actually accomplished since these firings were illegal and should be reversed anyway, and the backpay for furloughed feds is already guaranteed by a 2019 law?

Keep in mind that the Dems who are pushing for this are doing this just as they got more leverage – snap benefits were half returned.
Kick these fucks out of the Congress and out of the democratic party. They are Republicans – and it’s never been more obvious than right now.
