Probably in the minority here and I'm not a fan of establishment Democrats, but his reasoning that Trump would use the shutdown to move without court interference seemed logical to me.
You know Trump could have just vetoed the spending bill and then got his shutdown right? Or the Republicans could have not submitted a bill or even voted against with that argument that it was better for Trump to have his way.
This has just legitimized him further in that when push comes to shove people (Democrats) do agree with giving him what he wants. He's an unchecked bully.
This is not logical it's easy.
I see the logic behind it, but cant decide if the system is now so broken that his logic even works in the new framework.
This CR gives Musk a ticket to do whatever he wants, anyways.
So, why give him money to do it?
I dunno who that guy is, but every time I see his face all I can think is..
All the progressives should unite under a NEW party banner
I'm not sure if that would be easier than usurping power by primarying d's who don't get in line but clearly the geriatric dinosaurs in power in the DNC are half the problem.
The rightwing was really successful in primarying weak republicans who wouldn't toe the line but they essentially had free money (PACs) to do so. The nascent left has no such source of funding, the Sorosbucks to Stanleynickles is terrible.
Just a reminder than the dnc knew Bernie was a stronger option than Hillary but gave her the nomination instead. The dnc only cares about your money, not your opinion.
I agree with that.
It would be far easier for them to just hijack the Democratic party the way the far-right did the Republicans.
They will
I'm sure when Chancellor Trump orders the purging of opposition leaders, he'll leave you alone for sucking his dick like this. Surely debasing yourself before wild animals will keep you from being ripped to shreds by them.
Dictators kill their enemies. Everyone who isn't, and hasn't always BEEN their fiercely loyal, obedient ally is an enemy. Especially if they're a declining, psychopathic, malignant narcissist.
We need a Tea Party of the Left
Instead of the ‘Taxed Enough Already’; the left needs the ‘Tax Elites Already’ movement!
Democrats need to primary all these old fucks the way the crazy maga crowd primaried Republicans
Big surprise, old suits in the democratic party don't represent the modern democratic voter.
There needs to be term limits, especially based on age, and to whipe out any form of stock trading and "donations".

Did he and or his family got death threats from trump or what?
Trump has been making threats like that since before the election. If Schummer didn't think he could do his job, he should have stepped down.
The entire Democratic Party leadership needs to resign and be replaced by people who will actually fight for working Americans.
In November Schumer and the other leaders suffered the worst defeat in party history yet they haven't realized the only thing left for them to do is resign in shame.
The worst defeat in party history is definitely Reagan 1984.

Just for the record, this is what democrats always do, and it's why they keep fucking losing.
Democrats would rather have trump than have a social-democratic platform, and it shows every time they have the opportunity to fight him and chose to capitulate instead. The democrats aren't a left-wing party, certainly not now, and arguably not since FDR.
There is always a few Democrats to fuck shit up. This time there were 10! I hope to see the day where Shumer and Fetterman both fuck off into the sunset.
