    Not a surprise that this yellow-bellied bitch is too much a coward to face the people he fucked over.

    A bad political calculus, to say the least. Schumer has alienated himself from the core of his party and constituency, although he may not have expected such a strong response it is hard to see what he hoped to gain by joining Fetterman, Gillibrand, and other politicians that serve as internal stumbling blocks in terms of party solidarity and cohesion in the current environment, where democrats’ only positions of power require then to act unanimously.

      I feel that’s rapidly become a neoliberal democrat feeling. Not that they’ll ever learn from it.

      Some of it actually might be. They kind of got the liberal base riled up for a potential government shutdown, then decided to back down after doing that. I think even the mainstream libs are upset.
