I think if you were actually angry you would describe the behind the scenes deal schumer outlined with the dems up in 2026 and name the names of the senators who were too chickenshit to put their names on their proxy yes votes right?

'A Slap in the Face': Federal Employees Feel Betrayed by Democrats' Shutdown Cave
"I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something."
I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.

It's not Chuck Schumer's fault his whole media vibe is "capitulation addict" but it is the fault of the caucus for not seeing that the times call for an emergency substitution. Someone that conveys "smart, but tough" opposition, ideally.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

The coordinated nature of thisβnone are facing voters in 2026βmeans that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

I know this sounds mean but if you think that this is a coincidence you're more than a bit of a mark. If Kaine had been up next year, it would have been Warner, if Slotkin was retiring, Peters, etc.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

The correct thing to do is to make every Senate Democrat beg for mercy. Theyβre all guilty. If not for this vote, then for letting Schumer remain leader after the previous nonsense in March.
