I didn’t say anything about what the American people should do— I was talking about what Democrats in Congress should do.

(I disagree with you about the value of revolution. But if you really want one, fighting within the system now is the path to building mass support for it. Both/and.)

For the second time in 8 months, no less.

It’s hard not to feel that they did it BECAUSE of sweeping progressive victories— anything to keep themselves relevant and centered in the media narrative.

I am extremely upset about this.

The one thing I hold onto is that in March, they didn’t shut the gov’t down. This time they did, but they caved. Baby steps?

We all have to keep our sanity somehow…

I’m just saying that there are a lot of non-violent and non-felony ways to make people so miserable that they will beg for it to stop
We gave them the victories they’ve been asking for and they turned around and gave up as soon as it was convenient. The carrot days of the Democratic base are over. Time for the stick. They’re not afraid enough of us. We can fix that (with votes).

Zero DSCC funds. Actively support primary challengers against them. They should become political non-entities.

Let them caucus with Republicans, I don’t care! It will make no material difference.

Caving now means they literally did it for nothing and caused harm to people for nothing. Just absolute failure on every level.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.
