That’s exactly what it is. Dems leaders are stupid cowards. You can’t ‘preserve norms’ while the other side is busy torching them. Old leadership has got to go. We need new leadership.

Now this would be paraded as a democratic shutdown and they deserve this shit.

It’s a positive sign that we’re seeing lots more Dems tearing into the turncoat cowards this time than we did back in March.

The Democratic party needs to be entirely eliminated. They saw the progressive victory on Tuesday and said that they must keep moving further to the right.
And the worst part of all? The Democrats are now responsible for absolutely everything that happened during the shutdown.

Now people get to ignore that Republicans worked hard to avoid feeding the people on SNAP.
The Democrats need a face-lift.

Newsom is right to call the deal „pathetic“ if it’s a total surrender on essential priorities. The issue isn’t just about avoiding a shutdown, but about addressing the real budgetary and political problems. An agreement that’s just a „band-aid“ to buy time solves nothing and only postpones the crisis.

This is what Democrats do best, cave to Republican pressure. That’s all they’re good for. They have many of the same donors as Republicans, they are paid to cave to their interests.

This is what’s going to happen since some Dems relented:
A person with a $28k income will have their premiums increase from $325 to a WHOPPING $1238. Take that for what you will.

They’ll get a Senate floor vote for ACA – Big freakin‘ deal. As a lifelong Democratic voter, they have lost in this game of chicken, and they deserve what’s coming to them. Too bad for ACA people – you are sacrificial lambs.
Raiden29o9 on
I mean we know what’s going to happen, the republicans will pinky promise there will be a vote next month, and then all vote against it as a party completely with a few “moderate” dem’s probably joining them, just like every time the republicans promise something they always go back on it
Stealthtt385 on
Spinless leadership. We need to vote in truly progressive candidates that won’t give in to Republicans who won’t negotiate. So many people will die because they can’t afford health insurance. And it doesn’t even matter that there potentially will be a vote in December. Republicans will not vote for the subsidies. The spinless Democrats caved for nothing.

What the hell was the point of shutting down the government for 40 fucking days if we were going to cave in? If you’re going to fucking give up and stop fighting, might as well have never shut down the gov’t in the first place. Now people are screwed, transportation is screwed for a few weeks and everything is going to be a mess for a while.

I said this a few weeks ago. The GOP is weaponizing empathy. They were never going to negotiate in good faith. There will be no vote on ACA subsidies. They knew at least 10 democrats would cave because they care about people and the GOP does not.

We need a clean sweep of the trash that voted to end it. We got nothing. Absolutely nothing. A promise of a vote and I can’t WAIT to see the republicans deny it. You can’t tell me they aren’t in bed with them.

It’s worse now because the Democrats had a cause, the perfect narrative, and it was a Republican shutdown because the republicans wouldn’t give in to reasonable demands after snubbing them after the first time.
It was a Republican shutdown.
By giving up, for nothing, and making all the pain for nothing. These traitors snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and politically cut their own throats if this goes through that will become a miraculous blunder and put the blame entirely on their own feet.
RuskiesInTheWarRoom on
It’s amazing how bad democrats are about to play this. They *should* have increased their demands. They had a massively improved power position.
The GOP is to blame for the shutdown. The democrats are to blame for its pointlessness.

Because he’s correct. Democrats gave up the only leverage they had for absolutely nothing in return. In addition because they caved, this very likely will result in Democrats eating a very large chunk of the blame. They effective gave up the midterms for… literally nothing.
