I already have a counterproposal:
Russia pulls forces/proxies out of Ukraine—all of it—and removes offensive weapons from regions bordering Ukraine.
Pays for all war damage—and reconstruction.
All Russians engaged in war crimes stand trial.
And Ukraine can join any alliance it damn well pleases.

And he did all that in the great era of dictatorship and revolutionary communism, when confidence in democracy and freedom were deeply shaken, & so showed that a free society could in fact tackle massive social crisis without going either fascist or communist. That context might be helpful.

What choice did he have? Not being snarky here to any of you, but you all seem unable to believe that Trump lost a major political battle, and now he's going to just do what he always does: Ad hoc it all, and hope he can bully his way through it.
So, what rationale would Trump have for "supporting" release of the files if he could be implicated?

@jamellebouie.net clearly lays out the epistemological problem: the political game has fundamentally changed, but Democratic dinosaurs who've spent decades playing it the old way (pluralist politics) & are hugely insulated from the concrete realities of the new friend-enemy game can't see it.

I mean the thing is there is, you've just decided it doesn't count because Chuck said nuh-uh.
The fact that you don't find it sufficient to overcome the risible benefit of the doubt you've inexplicably decided to extend to Chuck Schumer does not Thanos snap it out of existence.

I mean the thing is the total LACK of evidence to draw inferences from. And then there's the real conspiracy mongers who've decided AIPAC actually ordered it.

I cannot get over how some people seem to be holding water for D Senate leadership and then octupling down when presented with the idea that the vote was engineered.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Rhetorical pleas against infighting are always begging the question about who's actually on the same side as you.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

He wanted it to end. He wanted to cave.
“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”
Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

Still processing the inanity of this cave, like, "We're going to make Republicans go on record that they want to destroy the ACA." You mean the motherfuckers who radicalized in opposition to it & voted to repeal it, like, 22 times? You're finally getting them on record? Really impressed over here

It’s not just the 8, they were just the ones picked to take the heat so the others could still cover their asses by voting No.
Any Dem Senator not calling for Schumer to step down can be safely assumed to support what the 8 did, regardless of how they voted.

Yup, and the damage isn’t so much in the story as in the proof of weakness. Trump now knows he has new torture tools to make Dems do what he wants. It’s why at least one of the 7 capitulators oughta be run out of office now, mid session. Get that number down to 6. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...
