This is a dumb fucking article by a dumb fucking writer in a dumb fucking lamestream paper. It does little to explicate why the eight Dem turncoats "had" to do what they did except for "they didn't have any other choice" and absolving the GOP from any blame or responsibility. Lame, lame, lame.

"Chuck Schumer has presided over this kind of rot for years, protecting incumbents who serve donors instead of voters, blowing up efforts to promote genuine progressives like Bernie in 2016, while building a machine that runs on Wall Street money and insurance and banking industry cash."
Chuck Schumer’s Quiet Betrayal: The Day the Democratic Party Forgot Who It Serves

Hey, @axios.com, you suck. I ban shitty journalists like you. Bye bye.
Axios ran a whole piece about Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico, a Christian seminarian, following a few models on Instagram.
No scandal. No misconduct. Just "follows."
Journalism is dead. Clickbait moral panic is alive.

Axios tried to shame Christian U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico—and ended up exposing itself

"El Presidente Trump is cast in the mold of all tinpot Latin American despots who terrorize their populations, surround themselves with sycophants, goons and crooks, and enrich themselves — Trump and his family have amassed more than $1.8 billion... while erecting tawdry monuments to themselves."
America is a Banana Republic
El Presidente Donald Trump is the gringo version of brutal and corrupt dictators foisted on Latin American countries by their oligarchs and Yankee imperialists.
