But that's not what happened. Senate Dems were perfectly willing to ask us to sacrifice. But one weekend of work and flight delays were simply too much for them to bear.

We've all *just* been taught very painfully that electing Democrats won't help. Just like they taught us in April. And just like they taught us during the Biden Administration.

Don't fall for that. They just picked the Senators who aren't running again or who won't face voters for another five years to be the face of it.

Well, except Senate Dems just took away that benefit, too.

And you're posting this to distract from your Vichy colleagues.

*with the help of Senate Democrats. They just put their stamp of approval on it.

Again, respect the well documented position of these workers and stop using them as a foil to protect your favorite quisling senators. Now, you're going on mute.

Plus, they were actually forced to work this weekend, and the threat of electoral blowback had receded.

A sacrifice, by all accounts, they were willing to make because they actually appreciated the stakes.

Your concern trolling to the contrary does them a disservice.

If he was so concerned about fed workers, he wouldn't have caved. The fed workers who are furious at the Dems for capitulation certainly know that.

You're right, there's no message that would work. Nor should there be.

But that's not why they caved. The hostages Senate Dems were worried about were their weekends and air travel.

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery
