My God, what a horrible, pitiful, defeatist, tone deaf, and just plain…WRONG thing to say. Retire now @SenAngusKing if that’s how you feel. Retire now and put someone else in your place who will stand up to the fascist in the White House.

This is not a win tonight. This is caving in on a “promise” from people who have proven they don’t follow through on promises. In other words, fuck us all again, thank you very much.

Angus King, an independent who voted to take the GOP bait to reopen the government, said, “Standing up to Donald Trump didn’t work. It actually gave him more power.”
I feel like this isn’t the best messaging.

He should have added: "Just like Schumer."
Jeffries: “Nobody who's serious in this country takes Dr. Oz seriously…I'm not going to respond to any comments from randos like Dr. Oz, who is woefully unqualified to be in whatever position he holds in the administration. He's a joke. These people are all jokes.”

Just remember: Elections have consequences. Like the requirement that you capitulate entirely after winning big in order to show bipartisanship to Jake Tapper and the good people at Politico

In a functional party system, this kind of capitulation in the face of authoritarianism could mean the end of the Democratic Party.
In our system, it could mean the end of the two party system. Neither party can represent the pro-democracy majority. It's time for something new.

If you aren't gonna fight the ever-rising tide of fascism with the very powerful and effective tools you have available as a U. S. Senator, you need to find another job. Or just retire. Don't care which. Just clear your desk into a couple of banker boxes and leave.
