A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Seriously these folks keep winning because regardless of what you think their constituents are fine with them. Unless you can facilitate that changing then you're just gonna be complaining about the same folks for the 10 or 20 more years.

Ultimately I think one good thing to come out of this is for more of the elected Dems to be willing to call some of their colleagues bitches. If you want these folks replaced then you have to rally sentiment for it among the people who are not extremely online. Otherwise they'll keep winning

It’s a thing, whether you like it or not . Not in the primaries though. That’s when you vote for the person you want to win because they are a good candidate for civil service and have policy ideas that make sense. If that candidate doesn’t win, then you get to vote for a lesser evil.

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.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.
Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.
Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.
He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

I am once again saying that we saw what wall to wall, panic coverage of a crisis looked like after the Biden debate and there’s no reason Trump isn’t getting that kind of coverage except for class solidarity.

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

As OP points out, this is, on its face, an irrational proposal to any consumer. Most people try to pay off their debts more quickly, not more slowly. Second, if you bought a home at 22, you wouldn't own it until you're 72. At that point, you've paid the bank double to be a life-long renter.

So, people are calling Obama a hypocrite for saying, "Back Black Women" because he didn't back Sears.
This is where the hypocrites get lost in the sauce on "not all skinfolks are kinfolks." Cause Sears didn't care about the Black community or how Shitler was destroying it.

Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark
Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap
The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name
He did this six times
Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel
