The surrender caucus secured yes votes from Democrats who aren't facing re-election this cycle, but four of them have Democratic governors who can pick their replacement.

If you live in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maine or Virginia this is an easy and effective way to make your anger clear.
Yup, and the damage isn’t so much in the story as in the proof of weakness. Trump now knows he has new torture tools to make Dems do what he wants. It’s why at least one of the 7 capitulators oughta be run out of office now, mid session. Get that number down to 6. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...

if you're mad, start calling.
you might as well channel your anger into something useful.

after I call, im going to the gym to take out all my frustration on my body.

whatever you do, do something productive because making yourself angrier on social media helps no one.

Already not looking good.
Trying to do back of the envelope math on who might be the Republicans who vote on extending subsidies. Democrats need 13 votes.

Likely yes:
Collins
Murkowski
Tillis
Rounds

Maybe:
Capito
Cassidy
Hawley

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.

Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.
So Democrats get:

1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays

2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail

3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts

Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

So correct me if I’m wrong, but they’re giving up all their leverage a week after elections proved the voters are with them, for a promise of a vote that they don’t have the numbers to win?

Senate Democrats asked for a year of ACA subsidies and were told to fuck off.

So they came back and asked for a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that they will assuredly lose?

Seriously?
From what I have seen so far this does not seem like a good deal:
