Despite his "no" vote, the Senate deal to reopen the government bears Schumer’s fingerprints

Either Schumer no longer has effective control over own his caucus, or he has permitted the deal to progress with a wink and a nod behind the scenes — and with a strident disavowal for the bank of cameras he famously loves — while taking Democratic voters for fools.

Democrats are honestly a bunch of fucking pussies at this point.

There's a literal fascist authoritarian wannabe in charge and where's the resistance? Christ, MTG is being more critical of Trump than they are.

    Resistance should be grassroots organized, please don't rely on the Democrats (or any political party) for that.

    Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!

    Why not both?

    We're organizing locally, and won the last set of elections. But that doesn't mean we can't still expect resistance on the national level when there was an overwhelming victory in the last slate of elections.

    Organize at the grassroots level to retake the Democratic party. People sorely underestimate the work and time involved in raising a new party from scratch. We already have an apparatus and, for about half of voters, a recognizable and somewhat trustworthy brand, although tarnished these last couple decades. Kick Schumer out. Alienate all the establishment assholes. Brutally reject the cowards and the bribetakers. Let the sun shine in so the healing can begin.

    “At this point” implies there were not pussies at some point. The Democrats have always been cowards.

    People keep forgetting it’s not left v right, it’s rich v poor. Democrat leaders are just playing their part.
