Dems who say that this surrender was some 5D chess play should be reminded that is what people say to defend Trump too. They are not galaxy-brained they are cult leaders, one of Trumpism, the other is Neoliberalism.
They both depend on tribalism to blind their supporters of their own lies.

The U.S. Supreme Court was given the wrong numbers. The βunwindβ in the event of a negative decision on Tariffs, would be, including investments made, to be made, and return of funds, in excess of 3 Trillion Dollars. It would not be possible to ever make up for that kind of a βdrubbing.β That would truly become an insurmountable National Security Event, and devastating to the future of our Country - Possibly non-sustainable!

Another potential benefit for @schumer.senate.gov from his surrendering is the potential for going independent in response. This would abandon the party apparatus to the control of Wall Street neoliberals which is exactly what his donors want.

Parties that do not want to come off as colonizers allow their candidates flexibility to work for their district, not the party donors.

Between the 2A shift and the progressive mirroring the district they would be well positioned to sweep up unexpected seats despite the gerrymandering.

Big Takeaway from the Senate Dems Betrayal
I agree, our Dem leadership has betrayed us to the donor class again. All Dems are complicit who do not support the removal of @schumer.senate.gov as minority leader.
Democrats, the call is coming from inside the house, er Senate.

He really does think we are stupid. Vote all AIPAC out. It seems that the most common trait of fascists and their enablers is AIPAC backing. If you are willing to whitewash a genocide for $ you will kill your own constituents for the Benjamins.
