Not in public anyway.

The less-generous (and what I think is more likely) scenario is that you worked behind the scenes to get Dems not up for re-election to "lead" and vote for the effort so you could say publicly you were against it.

You caved for a lie and you know it.

They aren't going to do shit and you know it. A promise for a vote is nothing. You're a coward that caved.

i am receptive to the idea that those things are simply too important to not have with no way out, especially this time of year, but also demonstrating to people who will take them hostage that you’ll fall in line if they raise the stakes high enough isn’t tenable either

You are a coward that sacrificed your constituents for nothing. A promise for a vote is nothing and you fucking know that.

Control your fucking caucus. They caved for absolutely nothing, they won fucking nothing.
