There are two choices here.
Schumer is such a feckless leader that he lost eight votes on an absolutely critical bill.
Or Schumer gave them tacit permission, which is why the Minority Whip is among the eight and none of them are up for reelection next year.

Why are you attacking him so hard?
I prefer to blame the people who ACTUALLY DID THIS BULLSHIT!
These people.
You'll notice Chuck Schumer IS NOT AMONG THEM!

Worth considering why one would choose not to maintain a filibuster against Trump in order to ensure you have it in other circumstances.

To be a U.S. Senator is to be an institutionalist. Even Bernie Sanders cares more about his role and friendships in the senate than he does about his ideological project. If ideology came first he would lead the charge on ousting Schumer. But that’s his friend.

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

This is also why the full court press by much of the organized American Jewish community against Mamdani is not just wrong and Islamophobic, but short-sighted, as well. If Mamdani gets shut down, anti-Israel sentiment won't just go away. It will go into politicians who are actually antisemites.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

This framing is bizarre. "We want different party leadership, but not an on-the-ground movement which would form the basis of the new leadership's power."
"We don’t need a mass movement. We just need enough people who are willing to step up, change the narrative, and help to create the opposition party we so desperately need." (from March) www.liberalcurrents.com/its-time-for...

Enough is enough. We need leaders capable of resisting the rising tide of fascism.

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 shutdown fight is an example of how we have three parties squeezed into two labels:
1. fascist apocalypse death cult party
2. right wing imperial conservative party
3. moderate social-democratic party
with the Rs being mostly 1 and a sliver of 2, and the Ds being mostly 2 with a bit of 3

Warner is up for reelection. He was widely seen driving towards surrender behind the scenes, but he's voting no in public because it's unpopular. The real question is whether he supports a senate leadership change. If not, someone who supports senate leadership change should primary him.
But I cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans wondering how they are going to pay for their health care or whether they will be able to afford to get sick.

Ok but he actually wants it to pass. His "no" vote is a way of maintaining plausible deniability, while the volunteering "moderates" take the fall.
What do you call a leader with no followers? Just a guy taking a walk.
He's not just a senator. He's the *leader*. His job isn't his personal vote. His job is to unify and lead his caucus against the regime.

I have been following national Congressional politics since I was a teenager in Obama I. This is how it always works. Regardless of their actual seat totals, The Democrats "somehow" always have just enough moderates (not too many or too little) that they concede to the GOP on every major issue.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

One of the many problems with the elected leadership of the Democratic Party right now is that most of us have no idea why they are doing what they are (apparently) doing. Why would they cave *right now* for essentially nothing? What is the logic, even if it's dogshit logic? Totally unclear. 1/2
