Absolutely correct
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

"What is the point of the Democrats?" a federal worker at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration asked. "What in the fuck was the point of this shutdown?"
Huh well it turns out I heard from a few federal workers about this and well
"We civil servants organized to help our colleagues face the hardship of the shutdown, we put up with the pain and our only request was to not be betrayed like this. Trade our pain, make it count."

1/ Do the caving Democrats need to see a few more children being ripped from the arms of their parents? Do they need a few more specific examples of ACA premiums forcing people to drop insurance in order to eat? Do they need some additional polling showing how unpopular Trump is?

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?
