Honestly, seeing Senate Dems show their true colors tells me that these are the folks who would NEVER fight to get justice for what the GOP (ICE, Tr*mp) are doing to us now. They would Merrick Garland the post-Tr*mp era and gaslight us w/ "the GOP were misguided. Let's move on with unity!"
If you want to understand the fools establishment Dems take us for, and you want your blood pressure to hit the roof, read this absolute gaslighting from one of the "no" senators.
Senate Dems have one path to begin rebuilding trust: remove Schumer.
This thread is insulting @whitehouse.senate.gov

I really hate how Trump refers to everything as a "hoax." The "Democrat Shutdown Hoax?" The government was shut down. It wasn't a "hoax." Demented shithead.
Now we have Trump blasting air traffic controllers, telling them they hate this country for not showing up without pay.
"I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK... You will have a negative mark, at least in my mind, against your record."

I can't confirm this is true about Elon's posting, but it is reminiscent of the Looney Tunes trope of reversing the effects of a concussive blow to the head with another blow to the head and I'm just saying maybe it's worth testing if Looney Tunes rules are in effect

the pandemic really fucked him up. he had no expertise in public health, but felt like being a quant guy should make him an expert by default, and people not agreeing with him on that point just sent him into a bizarre radicalizing ego spiral.

I know that having principles is very difficult for most politicians, but this was the easiest hill to die on. Saving the ACA is incredibly popular. There is no excuse for this moral cowardice.
No more donations to any Dem elected official until Schumer is out as leader. They must be punished.

So many people are going to suffer and die due to not being able to afford health insurance in January. Our representatives are mostly rich and have excellent government funded health care so they will never understand choosing between food and medicine.
I no longer believe Democrats even care.

reprehensible to me that regular citizens putting their bodies on the line to protest ICE abductions are showing more courage every day than our elected officials.
Any democratic senator not calling for Schumer to step down is complicit. And we will replace them all with people willing to fight

Tim Maine all but admits he doesn't expect Republicans to extend the ACA subsidies.
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"
