Bwahahaha

Which is why it was a failure of leadership to allow 8 Dems to let the CR move forward without a commitment to extend ACA subsidies. Senator Schumer’s failure as a leader will kill poor people, send the entire insurance marketplace into a death spiral, and burn Democrats’ credibility and energy.

One day I will run for US Senate on a platform of abolishing the Senate by making its role ceremonial. Like, any bill not voted on within 5 days is deemed passed and sent to the House or President. Any nomination not voted on within a week is deemed to have the consent of the senate. Treaties too.

To be clear, there are not enough uncounted votes to change that.

Unless you’re like, a grad student or something.

So clearly the jungles of southeast Asia are some sort of bat and virus lab that engineers human pathogens?

Volunteer doorknocking helps a ton, precinct leaders who can talk with neighbors and introduce candidates around, logistical support with data. And the brand is strong so endorsement carries weight.

It represents a failure of leadership that any Democratic Senators voted to reopen the government without ACA subsidies being protected. Senator Schumer is a failed leader and the only way to secure the path forward you describe is with new leadership. Will you vote to elect a new caucus Leader?

So what will you do to put in place caucus leadership who will hold the line on key matters of party strategy and principle? Senator Schumer has failed as Leader and needs to be replaced.
