agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

So you're selling us out?

When citizens protested at Schumer's office and home in March, he had them ARRESTED. Not escorted out. Schumer has been yukking it up with Trump, and has caved to his priorities at every turn. Antifascists are those who stand up for the people, and who speak truth to power.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I believe they will get nothing but the blame.

He caved earlier this year instead of fighting. The end result is nothing was done to ensure that millions of Americans would have affordable healthcare coverage! The MAGA cult will allow a vote on healthcare! Yeah, right! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤷!!!!
