Senate Democrats: what just happened under our current leadership is a total travesty
Also Senate Democrats: i have nothing to say about whether our current leadership may be part of the problem

You're right, it's my fault the elected Democratic senators folded. My anger at their lack of will to fight made them so sad that they lost their will to fight.
The defeatism on the left after we just had one of the most high profile primary upsets ever, is absolutely insane. The path forward is right there, we just saw a huge step work
Explains so much about why elected Dems roll over and surrender immediately. That's what most of the voter base does too.

Yes, and now everyone realizes we can't win with this team. Time to blow it up and rebuild. Tank for some picks.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.
We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

Not to condone anything Leyton did, but Jaresh-Inyo was far too weak and passive to be a wartime leader.
The only thing Bsky talks more about than politics is space politics.
We’re doing starwars discourse again?

Man, I just can't believe the Democrats got nothing in exchange for their treasonous capitulation.
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

Those 8 Democrats are not “weak,” to their corporate donors, they are incredibly strong.

We’re all trying to figure out who controls the democratic Senate caucus, because that person should resign.
I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

This squares nicely with my argument that liberals need to ditch THE WEST WING as their foundational political text and replace it with Spielberg’s LINCOLN, a movie that shows what politics looks like when you have a difficult but necessary goal and fight by hook or by crook to achieve it.
