I’m holding you responsible for all the people who have to cancel their insurance because they can’t afford it and die because of that, and the women who die because they can’t get medical care when they need natal-related care.

You’re done.
Any democrat who voted for this is going to get primaried. You brought a knife to a gun fight, and you have no idea what you’re doing.

You didn’t control your party, and this is allowing a back door abortion ban into the funding bill.
We’re primarying you. I don’t care if it takes 100 years to get it done.
You’re done.

You voted yes for a senate vote that won’t pass and a promise about jobs that are protected by federal laws already, while ignoring the fact that without these subsidies ACA rates will increase by 200% and literally cost lives. There is time for you to reverse this. Vote no in the future.

And yet you voted for cloture yesterday, for the promise of a senate vote that won’t pass on the ACA subsidies and a promise to return jobs slashed during the shutdown that are legally protected anyway.
People’s healthcare costs are going to skyrocket 200%. This will cost lives. Lives > jobs.

Jobs that are cut during the shutdown can’t be permanently cut, and you know this. They’re protected.
On the other hand, our insurance rising by 200% for families is real, and is going to lead to families not being able to afford health insurance. This will cost people their lives.

Yes, this is hard. Yes, it’s painful. Yes, it’s a pain in the patootey. But, saying “no” now makes it that much harder for him to erode more right and more healthcare coverage later.
So grow a spine, woman up, and hold out for measurable, concrete positive outcomes. Not stuff he already has to do.

Every time you give in to him when we *could* win makes it that much harder to regain this ground later, when we have to regain a sense of normalcy and decency.

Hold the line. Vote NO.
The problem with this is the same problem everyone has when dealing with T: you can win against him but he makes the cost so high that it seems easier to cave and deal with him later.
That’s the wrong way to look at this.

GOOD.

@schumer.senate.gov if you compromise this 40 days for the possibility of a senate vote next month that isn’t going to pass and has no teeth, you’re selling out your constituents and all of the people who went to the polls this past Tuesday and gave you a clear direction. Hold the line.
