"I am tired of losing and worse, I am tired of expecting to lose. We need Democrats who will use their positions of power not to constantly capitulate, compromise, and cave, but to fight-- not to say the word ‘fight’ because it’s the popular thing to do, but to actually do it and mean it."

Some were working for their seats, some are retiring- so they don't give a shit and of course we have the Republican "Democrat" who's working for G💰P

We need fighters, not folders. And fighters who are effective at messaging. Neither of that is Schumer. That is why Chuck Schumer must go as Democratic Senate leader. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/chuck-schu...

I'm guessing the 8 Democratic Cavers (with Chuck Schumer hiding safely behind them with his fake "no" vote) have been working on their cave since before Tuesday's election. But even after that, they still wouldn't open their cavey caverson cowardly eyes.

Tim Kaine on backlash he's getting: "I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct 1, b/c I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed fed worker would say to me at church, or what somebody would say about SNAP"

"Broke ranks" isn't even true. They admitted Schumer was in the room the whole time!
JFC. Does @schumer.senate.gov not get that by caving, Democrats make it *harder,* not easier, to make the ACA subsidies expiring stick politically to Trump/GOP? This effort to shame Republicans in this context risks signaling to low-info voters that Rs are standing on conviction and Dems aren't.

What if a US health plan mirrored Canada's public benefits?
We tried to design one: The "USA-Medicare Core" plan.
✅ $0 Deductible
✅ $0 Copay for Doctor Visits
✅ $0 Copay for Hospital Stays
❌ BUT... no Rx, dental, or vision coverage (just like Canada's core public system)
