I thought the same. In a sense, that is what’s happened because most people who know better ditched that place ages ago, and it’s funny that there are still a few clever, mostly older folks on there who don’t know or care about leaving, who will hurl verbal Molotovs at him.

I know, everybody should leave X, but I think an exception should be made solely for Joyce Carol Oates so she can keep wounding Musk's withered soul on his own site and he can't do a thing about it.

"wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:buy3qvqcj3o76leo6ap7pn2p/bafkreifilfbsxemfsambf4kqwolr24ld2ekqcrz4ybgv3bv7kzi5e6kppm@jpeg)

Senate Democrats had the power to do one thing: This shutdown. And this is what they did with it. Maybe this is some brilliant political calculus, in which case I'll happily eat my words. But right now, it feels like the beginning of the end of the party in its current form--and by its own hand.

It’s striking and inexplicable that Senate Dems crumbled following decisive signals from the American electorate that Trump’s policies are deeply unpopular and Americans expect the Democrats to fight Trump and Republicans over healthcare, affordability, & be a check on his chaos.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Schumer doesn’t get that, after the outrage in March, the only thing that would redeem him was not giving votes to the GOP this time, sticking it out until they caved.
He thinks he gets points for sticking it out for while this time. But that’s not how it works. The anger is now ten times greater.

Did we check with Dem Senate leadership on this? Because, bear with me because this is some deep thinking, if we end same-sex marriage, voters in '26 will remember who did it and that could help us.
