I can't w anyone who has smoke for him in this disproportionate manner. He is trying to form a sizable governing coalition again someday. Here are so many fair weather Dems who think it is on the individuals in power, not the entire team, voters and pols.
He could have assured a short shutdown by assuring any Fed worker that did not want to show up in unpaid status would not get fired.
The Fed employees could slow down the airports, the ports, the borders, etc.
Also their arguments regarding the courts shutting down was false.
Dems have zero power to assure anyone anything.
It is tragic that folk do not understand what a team endeavor this all is.
No, he could not have, read the thread.
Dems have no power over any Federal worker, none, zip, nada.
Your last statement is ether/vapor/false af.
None of y'all read this. https://bsky.app/profile/whitehouse.senate.gov/post/3lkjexynkck2n You'd agree w the vote of Sen Whitehouse, but if you read his thread, you'd know that any folk that are so sure of what the right stance was is a fool, that goes triple for talking heads on the view who can muster a stare, meh to the tenth.
I read those arguments from him &others. I'm not buying it. For one *they are already doing what he says a shutdown would bring*
Schumer *announced* he was NO then flip flopped after the House was unified.
I defend the Ds all day every day but they blew it.
Schumer is not a communicator we need one.
That first premise, no they are not already doing what a shut down would do. Under a full shut down they'd have their dreams come true. No we need a solid pol, you need a communicator because you want to be spoonfed. Defend Dems all day? Great, don't write gop oppo for them. Dems did this as a group
