when even the Indivisible people are calling for the minority leader's head on a proverbial pike, I think you might be underestimating just how motivating and mobilizing widespread, righteous fury can be – particularly when it's inseparable from "that bigger fight" we're being told to focus on.
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

Breaking news: A key group of Senate Democrats joined Republicans on Sunday night to advance an agreement to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
Senate takes key vote toward ending government shutdown
The deal that split Democrats doesn’t extend expiring ACA subsidies. If a bill passes the Senate, it needs the House to approve and President Donald Trump on board.

House Democrats need to reject this bad deal. Giving up on the 24 million people about to face astronomical health premium hikes — in exchange for a hypothetical future vote that Mike Johnson may not agree to & Trump certainly won’t sign — is truly weak.
The Senate on Sunday night took the first step toward ending the longest shutdown in U.S. history, after a group of Democrats broke their party’s blockade and voted with Republicans to advance legislation to reopen the government.
Senate Moves Toward Ending Shutdown After Democratic Defectors Relent
A small but critical group of Democrats backed legislation to fund the government, providing the votes to move forward with a spending package that would end the shutdown in coming days.
