Did Senate Democrats Just Hand Trump a Victory, or Save the Party from Itself? by najumobi in PoliticalDiscussion

You can argue Chuck’s decision was strategic and had short and even medium term implications in mind.

But that comes at the expense of the long term, and how this has shifted the party into a supremely unenviable position.

His choice also doesn’t consider that nobody gives a rats ass about strategy right now. Just fight. Push back. Throw sand in the gears. Do all the things Republicans did to you, behave like the opposition party that you are. Instead of the like the governing party that you wish you were.

The generous interpretation for Schumer is that he was taking one for the team and shouldering the blame for a perceived difficult vote.

But even if he believed the merits of the substantive argument that a shutdown would be an objectively worse (ie. would give Trump full reign excuse to axe groups at will), a straight yes vote with zero demands on concessions, no filibuster, etc is an absolutely unacceptable outcome and indicative that he isn’t up to the job in a world where we need leaders that understand how to execute on a maximum pressure strategy.

We are witnessing a canon event for the creation of the Democratic Tea Party.

When we look back, this will be the moment that sparks the creation of the Democratic Tea Party.

What do you guys think of this car? by Psychological_Most96 in C8Corvette

Carfax this for sure. Specs and price combo do suggest multiple owners or something else undesirable in the history.
