I have been a Democratic activist in NY for 45 years. I will not forget or forgive Senators who vote for cloture on this CR. This is the time to force the GOP to get rid of the filibuster. This is the time to go down fighting.
I will vote for primary opponents.

The only thing they believe is they will lose every fight to any Republican ever on any issue at any point

I hate this, but I cannot argue that Schumer is wrong about that. Musk has argued as much openly.
I think withholding the vote is justified on the grounds that the Republicans have clearly decided we are a single party state with no separation of branches - so the role is full opposition party not partners.
I get the argument but it seems geared towards assuming the Republicans ever intend to negotiate again.
To paraphrase the political cliché…
This is how Hitler took power in 1933. A paper Reichstag relinquished any power it once had.
Thanks for helping the Nazis, Chuck. Fool.

I’ve generally defended Dems against “do something!” complaints so far, because they haven’t had an opportunity to “do something.”
Now they do, and they’re throwing it away. Everyone who votes for cloture should be primaried.
