So, we see Charlie Brown as the Dems.

But, when we keep in mind that the Senate is one of the most anti-Democratic features of our system of government, James Madison might say Charlie Brown is also you. As in me. As in us. As in the people.

Invoking Lucy-tricks-Charlie symbolism does capture a decades-long pattern in bad faith negotiations by GOP.

Still, the metaphor has a limit.

The members of Congress caving are in the 100-person chamber DESIGNED with goals distinct from advancing what is best for the people.
