instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

things take time to percolate but truly the weirdest shit keeps percolating and resonating. I interviewed a super normie at no kings last time and he had a sign joking about being antifa and the number one thing he was mad about off the top of his head was venezuelan boat strikes

Trump makes things worse in a fractal way. The same patterns but from tiny things to the biggest worst things. Just keep telling the story each time it happens.

I think voters at large will very likely have trouble remembering details of chuck schumer selling out the aca by nov 2026. also I think in the next three months you're gonna see a lot of unlikely folks stopping by the dsa table at various no kings events

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery

Trump truly is running the country like he ran his casinos — into bankruptcy.
And he's planning to treat American families like he treated his contractors — screwed over.
Trump knew his tariffs were illegal, and made sure there's no way to fix the situation.

They had Trump and GOP playing defense. Republicans were being blamed for shutdown. Dems soundly trounced the GOP on election night. All the momentum was on their side but they gave up their leverage. And even as Trump was getting loudly serenaded by boos at an NFL game, Dems folded.
"In losing, Dems have said: we will relinquish future opportunities to use deadlines to bend Trump to our will. That is a posture of weakness that voters will pick up on."
On the pod, @brianbeutler.bsky.social has good ideas for Ds to salvage something from shutdown:

Rick Scott was CEO of a large, for-profit healthcare company called HCA. While Rick Scott was CEO, HCA stole so much money from Medicare they were fined $1.7 Billion.
Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.
