Lose Lose result. Hold Out Democrats will hate them for caving. Moderates will hate them for not having caved right away.

They’ll get the deal in two weeks.

This is the Democratic Party leadership's version of Donald Trump's "Two weeks! Two weeks!"

We actually need to vote out a few Republicans. True that they shouldn't have caved.

Free beer tomorrow.

And spoken like a true troll. You just keep encouraging Dems to turn on themselves and keep the MAGA in power.

@democrats.senate.gov Guess they still waiting for their DODGE cheque! ‘effing jenius them real ‘smart’ D’s US have in the Senate.

There is no such thing as negotiation in good faith with this Republican Party. Why can’t they understand that?

Please, explain that to us like we're so spitting mad we can't see straight? 🤬

Yeah, in case folks haven't caught on, they have been incrementally giving away stuff like this since the 1990s.

Yup. That’s why we’re just going to help them deport all the brown people to a deep hole, institute mandatory credit checks for ER visits, and outlaw being gay or trans. I’m sure everyone who’s about to have their insurance rates double will find comfort in “elections have consequences”, you ghoul

I am afraid the consequences of this election are determined to be civil unrest. Americans will only take so much before they come to a boil.

You don't understand politics. The Democratic party elite is full of elites paid off by or friends with economic elites that are also paying off or friends with republican elites.

Dear Dem Senators who voted 'no', tonight: BRING US THE 'HEADS' OF SCHUMER & DURBIN, removed from Democratic Senate leadership positions! Only then will we consider you might truly have meant your 'no' vote tonight.

Problem is they’re dealing with a corrupted party led by a LYING cruel dictator. “Promises” mean nothing. Winning is all he cares about! There will never be a better deal. They’ve touted a healthcare plan since 2015 - Where is it????

Their bad deals hurt us.

Funny if it were true. Dems got literally nothing. Nothing binding, nothing corrected, nothing AT ALL!!!

Looks like i dont understand Politics

Then I don't understand politics, but I do understand continuing to make ba deals is an art to some politicians, who've made a career out of doing exactly that.

Pathetic, weak Dems.

HATED IN THE NATION.

Oh no not the N-word!

The Ds revel in the idea that they are underdogs who just can’t get a fair shake while undermining every possible opportunity to truly take charge. Poor us! Now please send more campaign money.

It's coming in 2 weeks

What MAGA does to Dems.

SHUT ALL THE WAY UP

But next time they'll really get to kick the football!

They're just keeping their powder dry, okay?

Yup the Dems “ 2 weeks” bs all they do is bs

Cowardly cavers Leading to cadavers Who will starve and are sick Congress filled with a bunch of pricks

I have been decrying neoliberals in the Democratic party for 3 decades. They have slowly eroded the role of thinking people in the United States. Stupidity is king, and neoliberals are happy to sell their intelligence to the highest bidder. Vichy Democrats one and all!

Later means never.

There is no reason to think they will get anything from this “deal.”

The satire here is 🔥🙌🏻

But Schumer learned from last time. This time, he got his whip to find enough people to vote for cloture so that he could vote no and have cover and not have to face calls to resign.

The elections are gonna be pivotal.

Savvy!

There’s 8 democrats and 54 republicans who shouldn’t be in the senate in 6 years.

Anyone who doesn't support new party leadership. Schumer, Durbin, and Jeffries out

Not all of them, but the retiring Senators likely have a preferred or chosen successor. Don't let their legacy live on. 2 of the 3 vying for Durbin's seat have already spoken out against this. Have no doubt though, these Senators did this to provide cover. This was a coordinated move from inside.

#primarybattle

The Democrats will guarantee you jam tomorrow.

Yep. It’s kayfabe

So accurate!

I don’t think so. But they can be forced out of office before reelection just make them want to retire.

Sorry for my previous too-intense reply. I was SO angry & should know better than to take it out on allies. Looks like I should go through all my posts since that f'ing vote & make possibly more than a few other apologies. 😔

I beg to disagree. IF we HAD decent leadership, this vote would not have even happened. On a Sunday night, when their offices are closed? The senate switchboard was clogged &ball their voicemail boxes were full but - oops, sorry - they won't hear any of those frantic, angry messages until tomorrow!🤬

Durbin is the Senate Democratic Whip.

I will say after 2016 and 2024 that I do believe it does benefit the Democrats to have Donald Trump as the president, because both times they deliberately lost the election

So you get Schumer out as leader and then you get these seven democratic senators out, make it just so horrible for them while they’re in office that they begged to leave

🤣🤣🤣 keep drinking that kool-aid

They got a deal though!!!!

They should have held out till January. By then red districts would be rioting

Who’s they?

Democratic leadership should be ousted and renamed the Charlie Brown Party.

not a whole lot they could do but hold. and every day they didn't cave was another day millions going hungry they gave up healthcare to get food and rent money. sadly, americans are very familiar w having to make that kind of decision all GOP senators were ok w people going hungry

Centrism is a lie. You either stand up for what you believe or you don’t believe in anything at all.

They’ve been promised if they play ball their credulous asses will remain in Congress permanently- of course, that, too, is yet another lie.

K Cool. If you say so. Put that one right up there with this one👇 "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't"--Richard Feynman Your condescension is refreshing, though. THX

In two weeks 🙄😤🤬

Good, but better: Time for a second party. Right now the only one in town is the Corporate Party.

They always fall for the mystery box. Every time.

It's not everything, but, as the minority party, Dems don't have unlimited leverage. bsky.app/profile/this...

Once you've given in to bullies, hostage-takers, or blackmailers, they know you'll fold, so they just roll you over and again.

Fucking selfish & lazy. The eight Democrats who turned their backs on all the people who have supported them are JUST LIKE all the people that didn't bother to vote in 2024, they are fucking selfish and lazy. PERIOD.

When are they making deals with people that want to kill them? This is insane stuff.

It’s simple, I didn’t stand up to my wife cheating on me again so that NEXT time it happens I can really hold her feet to the fire

Free Beer Tomorrow!

The Dems voted for the bill tonight because they were too scared the Reps would vote to end the filibuster.

This feels like "losing $ on every sale but making it up in volume!"

It's the fusion power theory of politics.

This is the Josh Marshall take, basically

just one more midterms bro

AIPAC is paying for their compliance. As long as that thing exists, the people don't stand a chance.

Concept of a deal.

Absolutely, got it! Sorry for my too-intense reply. Still SO f'ing angry this morning. But I should know better than to take it out on allies. My humble apologies, really. 😔

I don't know how we ended up in a position where so many people seem to mistake "lacking any real beliefs or willingness to fight for them" as "political savvy"

If I was a Democrat, I'd be apoplectic 8 senators bent the knee and surrendered. Happily, I'm not. Power is with the people organising on the streets; Americans are masters of their own political fate. Your self-organization is your strongest weapon. Build solidarity, grow the resistance. Win.

I am not sad, I am raging! Sold out again! Changing my Party designation to Indepedent not that I believe there will ever be free elections again but to help put this dying party out of its misery.

They will only get rigged elections in near future and pack their bags and go home

Rude of Cornyn to ruin the kayfabe by leaving the moderate Dems who voted No, including the minority leader, sitting there doing nothing to change votes they “oppose” while they wait

yep

If funds are already out, there's only so much the SCOTUS can do

Then force them to do that. They want to make things ugly, then fine, things get ugly. We shouldn't stand aside and then clean up the mess they've made yet again. Republicans have been doing this for DECADES because it keeps working.

Came here to ensure this was posted... well done.

oh i understand! cavemen like living in a cave! So why would you believe a liar is not telling you a goddamn lie? WTAF!?

I do understand politics and your wrong
