      Lol and when some of us say Schumer is literally no better than republicans, y’all think it’s dividing the left or whatever

      Face it, until you clean out the party from people like him, you’ll get nowhere, and it inculdes Jeffries as well even though he opposed Schumer in this case

    2. It’s not a deal. It’s something for Schumer to try to sell but very unlikely they get 60+ to vote for it. And there is little support in the House for it on the Dems side though it’s easier for Republicans to get things done there.

      Overall caving now after Trump suffers biggest rebuke from voters this week is a straight on brand Schumer snatching defeat from the Jaws of victory move.

    3. Watch them still not swear in Adelita Grijalva, who is set to vote for releasing the Epstein files.

      Edit, to add Adelita Grijalva’s name so she can have the recognition she rightly deserves.

    4. Honestly the dems are so god damn feckless. Republicans will block any bill they try to pass. All they did was basically give donny a bj by bowing down.

      Wow, just fucking WOW. I’m to the point where I’m just fed up with Schumer and these useless relic politicians. We really need to get rid of these relics. We need younger politicians who aren’t afraid to fight. They keep doing the same thing over and over again, KNOWING the results will be the same. Talk about taking the wind out of our sails after last Tuesday’s election. Schumer and whoever else agrees to this, needs to go.

      Unbelievable. This is part why people hate the Democrats and I should know I’m a Democrat.

    7. So my question is, do the Democrats get credit for reopening the government since Republicans didn’t budge on anything?

      I’m guessing not.

    8. So we showed them that all they have to do is wait, and we’ll give in to ANY DAMN THING THEY WANT!! I swear I’m about done with these fucking spineless SOBs!

      They were always going to “cave in” eventually. Just waited until after the election. That should tell you all you need to know.

      Democrats caved and got nothing but a promise of a VOTE on extending the ACA tax credits. That vote will never happen if it has any chance of passing.

      Caved again.

      This is like giving in to the screaming brat at the store. Instead of holding the parental line, buying them candy to pacify them.

      Every dem who votes yes needs to be primaried. Period.

      Otherwise our suffering brothers and sisters suffered needlessly and will continue to under the MAZI regime in which we now live.

    12. Schumer is a fucking disgraceful democrat. He literally votes on bills as he thinks a MAKE BELIEVE FAMILY IN THE USA would vote.

    13. We just taught Republicans that mass starvation is an effective tool. Great job moving that thin line even further right

      Chuck Schumer caves yet again for a “promise” that they will look into subsidies. They will get rid of the afa and millions will have no access to healthcare. Chuck Schumer needs to be booted out of office.

    15. So they caved because they were supposedly promised a vote in December for the ACA subsidies. How are they going to get any of those votes to go through without the shutdown leverage?

      Let’s be real the GOP is not going to do the vote anyway they’ll just ignore it and move on. The Dems can’t even get one of their own sworn in but they think the Reps will own their promises? Be so for real.

      We had such a good week with the momentum we gained in the election on Tuesday and now they piss it all away for nothing. People were excited, motivated, ready to keep fighting and the dems are just like aww fuck it, let’s cave. The entire shutdown and trying to save the ACA was a complete and total waste of time now. Great job dems, yet again you fucked us.
