This kind of weakness is quite typical of Schumer. Always has been.
It’s not “weakness” to actively and regularly serve your own class interests and values.
Maybe if the progressives pretended to back the bill the useless centrist dems would finally rouse themselves to fight it.
LOL this dude has always been trash. If people remembered that, he wouldn’t be in office.
But I guess as usual we gotta vote blue no matter if it’s a fascist. \s
oh how quickly one can destroy all that they have built.
the current batch of dems have been coasting on programs and ideas the FDR dems built. All this generation of dem leadership has done is oversee slowly tearing it all down while slapping down any progressives that act like FDR did.
What do you think this dude built? lol.
Ok, so I think the Democrat leaders are being spineless cowards as usual, but if I were trying to think of the strategy they are attempting here, I would say they are worried that Trump will blame the recession he is causing on the government shutdown and they don’t have confidence in their counter-messaging.
I’ll be more excited to vote for Democrats if they can find their balls and start obstructing the fascist takeover. Was it not enough that they used ICE to kidnap and try to deport a legal resident for exercising his first amendment right?! Why the fuck shouldn’t we want a government shutdown when that’s the sort of thing this regime would use it for?!

Considering the way democrats behaved towards anti-genocide protesters? There’s some hesitation in the answer to that question.
Yeah if a government isn’t going to serve our interests, shut it down.
