@jamellebouie.net clearly lays out the epistemological problem: the political game has fundamentally changed, but Democratic dinosaurs who've spent decades playing it the old way (pluralist politics) & are hugely insulated from the concrete realities of the new friend-enemy game can't see it.

I mean the thing is there is, you've just decided it doesn't count because Chuck said nuh-uh.
The fact that you don't find it sufficient to overcome the risible benefit of the doubt you've inexplicably decided to extend to Chuck Schumer does not Thanos snap it out of existence.

I mean the thing is the total LACK of evidence to draw inferences from. And then there's the real conspiracy mongers who've decided AIPAC actually ordered it.

I cannot get over how some people seem to be holding water for D Senate leadership and then octupling down when presented with the idea that the vote was engineered.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Rhetorical pleas against infighting are always begging the question about who's actually on the same side as you.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

He wanted it to end. He wanted to cave.
“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”
Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

Still processing the inanity of this cave, like, "We're going to make Republicans go on record that they want to destroy the ACA." You mean the motherfuckers who radicalized in opposition to it & voted to repeal it, like, 22 times? You're finally getting them on record? Really impressed over here

It’s not just the 8, they were just the ones picked to take the heat so the others could still cover their asses by voting No.
Any Dem Senator not calling for Schumer to step down can be safely assumed to support what the 8 did, regardless of how they voted.

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...

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

Progressive groups are calling for Chuck Schumer's ouster after centrist Dems' shutdown cave. Dem senators' phone lines are "exploding" with the same demands. So far, Senate Dems don't have a ton to say.

Qanon? That's quite the leap ya got there, buddy! This isn't Charlie day strung out making connection that aren't there. This is looking at the record and saying these people are protecting others. It's obvious and if you choose not to acknowledge it, that doesnt really reflect poorly on anyone else

It's called reading between the lines. The idea that 8 members voted who were all either retiring or just reelected, three of whom are Leadership, and one of whom is Whip didn't have express approval from the Leader during a shutdown in an historic period is pure idiocy.
Read between the lines!

I want a WHIP that will whip against the Leader if the Leader orchestrates a betrayal of base.

Absofuckinglutely not. We can not win the fight with the current leadership. Schumer is fucking done....because we, the voters, say so. There's millions of us and forty-something of you. You wanna be on the list? No? Then shut the fuck up and cast your vote for different leadership.
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

This is the only man I think can remain in leadership. He is the only one I don't suspect of being in on it.
I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

But you know what King does care about? Safe air travel hampered by the shutdown. That had to get fixed before the holidays, healthcare be damned.
Healthcare costs for millions of Americans are doubling. Angus King has a net worth of $22 million.
