I'm beginning to realize that leadership is so terrible in this country (not just politically but across the board) that people don't know what leaders are supposed to do.
The #1 job of a leader is to communicate. Even when it's something ppl dont like. Especially when it something ppl dont like

"come on guys they couldn't do this forever"
No shit. But it's really the lowest bar to expect the Minority leader of the Senate to a) have a plan b) be able to communicate that plan
Instead out of nowhere, there is this "deal" that we're to believe he had nothing to do with & is against.

Here's the thing. Why is it everyone else is trying to explain and message this shit better than Chuck Schumer? Isn't he the Senate Minority Leader? Hell, I'll even give some (SOME) credit to the members that voted for this. At least they had the spine to speak on their reasoning.

Ok. Let's take this at face value. The democrats plan was to force the GOP to go on record for being the is responsible for health-care premiums rising. Ok. Cool. Small problem with that.
When was the last time that the GOP paid a political price for hurting the American people?

This just further confirms for me the “deal” wasn’t about SNAP or federal workers as a whole. It was that flights were being delayed and with the holidays around the corner that was going to upset too many people, namely folks with money
Trump to air traffic controllers: "For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK"

For Squidbillies fans this is the equivalent of Early wearing a paper bag on his head, robbing Boyd at gun point, taking the bag off, paying Boyd with the money he just robbed him of to buy beer. Then shooting Boyd anyway

Also...it's a "they think we're stupid" moment too. So you mean to tell me that Dem Senators up for reelection in 2026 in vulnerable seats didn't cave but a bunch of safe seat democrats that are either resigning or up for 2028/2030 seats just had to vote this way?
Come on. That's insulting

It's also not lost on me that people are okay with pain and suffering as long as it's not affecting a majority. When it's brown folks being rounded up in masked ice raids or trans people having rights taken from them...all the sudden it's "we gotta be in it for the long fight"

Here's the thing. At the very least they could have tried to get a better deal. They could have waited for the ruling on SNAP benefits because if those started flowing then the "we're doing this for SNAP benefits" argument doesn't work.
Yeah, with respect, @jamellebouie.net and a lot of the other Fight Faction ppl on this site are wrong.
The Fight was the point, and the Fight got Republicans to openly do a fuckton of absolutely horrendous shit out in the open, and basically break their House majority as a functioning organ.

Sincere question: what does victory look like?
Because maybe I'm missing something but I don't see any viable path to actually getting reconciliation subsidy shit reversed
The game was always raise salience, and an up/down vote w/dem language sounds like that to me

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

This is no different than the promise Republicans made in March that they reneged on.
They will not honor the deal. You cannot shame them into action. They have no capacity for shame. All you're doing is showing that you will always fall for the banana in the tail pipe.

So support primary challenges against the cowards who caved then. If you really feel like they sold y’all out, tell them they’re in their own
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.
