One point worth emphasizing here: The punditry has been saying Sherrill (and Spanberger) represent the sane centrist wing of the party versus the left. Well, okay, but here Sherrill is urging more fight. Again, the results show that anti-Trump + affordability can *unite* the party. This shows how.
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him

And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.
Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.

Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.

He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

Everyone compares Fetterman to Manchin. The better comparison is Sinema. Manchin, as much as he annoyed Democrats, focused entirely on West Virginia-related issues.
john fetterman campaigned on not being the next joe manchin, duping a lot of people in the process, when the reality is and always has been that joe manchin was always a reliable healthcare vote in the senate

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

There's one central rule in working against autocrats - if they see you as weak, if you attempt to appease, you are creating a permission structure for them to escalate, to take more.

Ds are strong right now, and he is weak. We need to use our strength to get more for the American people, not less
With our big election win last week, and Trump's clear political and physical decline, Dems should be more ambitious now, and fight even harder, for the country and the American people. Voters saw us fighting for them & we were rewarded across the country 👇

Leaving the morality of it all aside for a moment, as difficult as that may be to do, I want Gen-Z leftists to read up on the political trajectory in the Netherlands following the assassination of Pim Fortuyn.

Every one of those deaths is a Republican policy success.

They WANT us dead.

And yes, third party and non-voters. This is exactly what you voted for. Pretending this information was unavailable to you before the election is just a flat out lie.
This is government failure at its worst.

During the deadliest Texas floods in years, FEMA help was delayed because of a policy requiring Kristi Noem’s PERSONAL approval.

We lost 120 lives. 170 people are still missing. I’m demanding a full investigation.
