I mean he’s kinda just an extremely “Senator” kind of guy and that type always rubs a lot of people the wrong way. But of course there’s less savory reasons too.

There’s this vast gap between people who think this is somehow an aberration and, uh, the rest of us.

Some people felt like they had made their point and just wanted to stop, others wanted to stay the course and drive the point home further. Now some are very angry and others are defensive! Not everyone can grasp these nuances but we long time observers of the legislative game know what's up.

But, like, he wouldn't understand what that MEANT. Who's gonna write the bill? The only way this works is if Trump just says "fuck it, I'm a Democrat now" and they go along with it lol.

It doesn't feel like a prize anybody would feel like risking anything for right now! If you're a senator, might as well let the old guy run out the clock and take any remaining blame.

I mean, I assume so? I hadn't heard any smart money suggesting otherwise yet. I know Ro Khanna said a thing, but he's nobody's favorite here. Are there others? (And are any, you know, US Senators?)

It's just fundamental to what Schumer is, which is "barely a Democrat". So we're getting into sketchy dual-loyalty kinda territory regardless.

If you read the book ("Say Nothing") this is redundant but still.

People who get brain-poisoned on those issues no longer understand how it sounds to people who aren't. It's not a great development.

I checked back and that guy was kind of abashed by the outcry but his cleanup was...eh, not entirely satisfying.

Ha yeah. I have this as well. People I know in real life are simply not prepared for this level of libbing out. They just block me and never speak of it again.

If you’ve heard someone use that word before in that context, like, I dunno, “rosy cheeks” or “feckless Democrats” that means it is a CLICHE and is bad writing and bad politics and you just should not. Ask yourself WHY that cliche got in your head.

And I wish more people understood that ten "good enough Dems" are DRAMATICALLY more useful than five "perfect Dems you agree with on everything." Having majorities is orders of magnitude more important than the specifics of the members making it up.

It absolutely sucks being poor, even in America 2025. I've been there. You're also dramatically better off than the Heroic Food Rioters of History.
