Because they caved pretty much across the board, and feel bad that the retiring members they chose to be the symbolic sacrifice are being attacked. It's all just theatre. I know that's the case, and yet this is still disheartening.

Centrists. The Senate Dem Centrists caved.
They've always done this and it's nothing new, yet STILL people act as if all the Dems decided to cave in.

Nope. Not this time. We’re done with this “oh we had to compromise on our core values but we need to work together” shit.
Either remove Schumer or you’re all as responsible for this as the 8 who caved.

The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

And yet, the Democrats caved. Where's the intergrety? Or the balls/spine to hold your ground and do what you said you would do? The people were behind them, but no... face first into the dust again. No fucking wonder the Republicans are running rampant. There is no one to stop them.

The Democrats have the *worst* leadership. Why do they always, always let GOP get away with being outrageously corrupt and immoral? The voters will not remember GOP jacked up their health care costs & stopped SNAP. But they will remember who caved. Sh*tty, but true. So. Wildly. Disappointing.

I'm seeing more vitriol here from people angry about the cave directed at senators who didn't cave than at senators who caved.
You don't incentivize loyalty by punishing the loyal & disloyal alike.

Schumer doesn't want to lead this fight effectively. He caved OUT OF NOWHERE. He caved LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER ELECTION votes were tallied with one of the biggest successes. Even if you agree with policy, the tactics here are abysmal. How can such a man keep a UNITED front acting like that?

Those 8 Democrats who caved in should be recalled. Any takers? I can't with these palpitations. I am soooo pissed off. They had leverage....wtf? What was the #NoKings for? Our sweeping blue elections? @schumer.senate.gov and company fucking stabbed AMERICA IN THE BACK!!!

Dems also caved in May when they voted with Republicans to keep government open. Schumer said they would have more leverage in the fall. Now we know that at least next May and Oct 2026 will have similar results as 2025 with Dem Senators not running in 2026 voting with Republicans.

So the chaos and suffering accomplished nothing because they caved. Anyone who understands behavior will tell you that if you give in during the tantrum, the behavior will get worse. Especially during the escalation phase.
