I think Schumer has to go because the trust just ain’t there, honestly. Like, whatever your opinions on the respective matters, the Israel/Palestine thing followed by the Mamdani thing followed by this one right after another… We need someone who can unite the party somehow. IDK who that’d be.

Anyway, every single person like “the fact that there were only 8 proves there were more, the fact that Schumer voted against it proves he supported it, the fact that 39 Dem senators are angry about it means they are lying to you” is trying to spread their fear & misery. You don’t have to let them.
Whether you think Democrats should have pushed the shutdown further or not, at this point you have control over whether *you* give up, and a lot of you have decided that yessir you absolutely will.

The Republican Party tried more than 50 times to kill the Affordable Care Act in Congress. They’re not going to negotiate over this. They’re salivating at the prospect of stripping away healthcare from millions of Americans.

for what it's worth I think "they would rather starve Americans than pay for health care" is a winning message

every single week they're throwing this guy a special oval office love-in that appears to be the presidential equivalent of letting your dog scarf an entire big mac and fries before that last trip to the vet
Pirro: "Mr President, there is in this room a group of people who love you, who believe in you, and who are so proud to be in this Oval Office and to be part of this amazing day because you have changed the course of America."

I have thoughts, and they aren’t going to fit neatly into Bluesky posts. Briefly:
1. The deal sucks.
2. Probably not as much as you think it does.
3. It’s good to be mad.
4. FFS, be madder at the GOP.
5. Strategy is hard.
5b. Timing matters.
6. The fight isn’t over.
7. Go pet a cat. (Or a dog.)

Anyway I think one reason I'm not that mad at these guys is we already knew they were the wrong people for this moment. A party trying to carry on with business as usual in the face of autocracy won't survive. They're sitting in a burning house and commissioning polls on how popular the fire is
If you think the president is a tyrant and you're running for office to oppose him the only platform you can have is "Give us enough votes to impeach and remove this menace." Otherwise what's the point of electing you?

It all sucks! But the people who are your enemies are in the WH, not the people who are just trying to fucking survive. There's nothing wrong with a civil servant being desperate to get back to work and get their backpay. Check your fucking fire.

this isn't the kind of language you use if you have institutional support
weirdly honest messaging from the breakaway mod/institutionalist leaders who blew up the party strategy
they're explicitly giving up. "It wasn't working so we quit" that's the message

The truth is that no one won this shutdown. Those 8 senate Dems lost it in the near term and senate Rs lost it in the long term.

I think I'm settling on something like this thread's view. Republicans didn't get what they really wanted AND they own the consequences of it anyway.
Without Democratic control of at least one chamber that's just about the best we're going to see with this R trifecta configuration.

Doubt itll ever sink in w most of the ppl on this site but I'm seeing a tremendous amount of rage at Rs getting a "political win" & like...are ppl just not having attention? Ds were trying to prevent a thing that, if Rs had agreed, would have been politically beneficial *to Rs*. They rejected that.

i think this is a very clear limitation of schumer's convivial caucus management style, only using honey is good when you need to get someone to vote for something, but it is not nearly as as effective as getting someone to not doing somethig

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway:
1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

anyone who is not willing to take the risk of gambling with starvation in order to save our system of government has no place in the Senate, and those who decided that they couldn't play a game with those stakes have not necessarily done anything wrong. they just have to leave.

I see people insisting this deal would mean that Dems suddenly “lost” on the politics, which seems quite silly tbh. Again, you can argue (and I would) that the defectors mean the party is squandering the chance to win even bigger though
