Chuck Schumer and the rest of the establishment democrats deserve to be tossed in the dumpster like the trash they are, but I don’t think any of us want to rot in a gulag for attempting and failing.
Technically, Chuck voted to keep the government shut down. According to some people other than Chuck he was in constant contact with the group who crossed the aisle for nothing in return, but he didn’t vote with them.
Yeah, the consensus seems to be that Chuck essentially engineered this new “deal” but he knew it would be wildly unpopular so he had only the senators who aren’t up for election next year vote yes, while he voted no to keep his hands clean. Classic slimy bullshit from a classic slimy bullshitter.
I’ve been following how the senate has voted on shit from the beginning of Trump’s second presidency. What I’m finding is that they all take turns crossing the aisle to spread out the hate they would get from their own party for doing so. Schumer, and Gillibrand, who are senators for my state both voted to confirm his cabinet picks. I’ve been pissed with them since day one.
That just means he found enough Dem Senators to take the heat so he didn’t have to also vote for it. It’s not like he said “Hold the line” and those 8 defied him. No, it was all agreed to between him and them. This is what he wanted. As minority leader the blame is on him in spite of his ‘no’ vote.
