I don’t know. They ended up not needing his vote, but he was def ready to step in. Maybe he’s just worried abt centrist dem constituents. But my guess is it was about loyalty to the DNC & their money.

Chuck found 8 senators who are either retiring or not up for reelection soon & told them to vote yes. The only explanation is the money told him to do it bc this was a flat out betrayal in direct opposition to the will of all their constituents.

Weakness/Greed. Pick your poison

It’s only compromise if you get something in return. They got nothing. Johnson has already said he won’t bring ACA to a House floor vote.

There’s no other explanation for their actions other than the money told them to do it & they did, in direct opposition to the will of their constituents

That is exactly what happened and exactly why he has to go.

No Democratic opponent yet

Chuck found another collaborator to take Ossoff’s place. It was widely reported that Ossoff was prepared to vote yes if they needed his vote. Why? He needs that big DNC money if he has a hope in hell of getting re-elected in the mid-terms. He’ll do whatever the money tells him to do.

Trump had no moves left. We had him cornered. He was hemorrhaging support. His only path was to start negotiations on the ACA. And they let him off the hook.

So pick your poison. No SNAP for a few more weeks or no affordable health insurance forever.

Call Chuck and leave a message at his Albany office. Phone: (518) 431-4070. Got some things off my chest at least.

The democrats had to have gotten something in return to call it a “deal.” They got nothing. It’s total capitulation.

I truly believe he & many other Ds are trying to break our will to fight. It’s the only explanation for the total capitulation we saw last night.

Our party belongs to their monied-masters. They don’t care about us or the future of this country at all.

It’s undeniable after last night. Its can only be 1 of 2 things:

Our own party is trying to break our will to fight these fascists; or they really just don’t care about us, the future of American democracy or anyone but their monied-masters, who appear to want Trump to stay in power

Nothing matters to these people. We do not matter.

If we want change this, WE must change it.

Don’t buy shit this holiday ✌🏽

I never had to. But I also never told my Ca Senators to get rid of him as leader of the party or I will not vote for them. I will now.

This capitulation cannot go unanswered. Chuck has to go. We need a leader who understands that everything is on the line & who isn’t stuck in a normalcy bias loop

They’ve never had to win my vote, but they will now. Why bother to vote them in when they act against the overwhelming will of their constituents?

There is not a single D who will defend this vote & the 8 traitors because there is no defense for it. Pure capitulation.

I said much the same thing. Trump has a loyal base because at least he fights for them. Our leaders won’t even fight WITH us.

“We will keep fighting.” As you drop your glove & walk off the field.

Total surrender.

The GOP isn’t winning. We’re losing.

Voted Blue my entire adult life & I won’t vote for another DEM until they vote to remove you, Senator Schumer, as minority leader.
