The one and only tool that Democrats have in congress thanks to their 47 senate seats, and it was thrown away for nothing. Republicans just bullied them into submission and it worked.

GOP didn't want to concede because it would've made them look weak. And it worked. They just bullied Dems into submission.

- The senate will vote no.

For example, in 2024, Trump made huge inroads with hispanic voters. But in 2025, that hispanic support vanished. Voters told Democrats to keep up the good work, but they just gave up.

"If Republicans threaten SNAP, let them do whatever they want." That is the message sent. It is technically true that the government won't shut down if you gift Republicans a de facto supermajority, but you see how that's bad, right?

That's all they had to do. Just stay the course with what they were already doing. Why are Democrats so eager to negotiate against themselves?
