Schumer didn't vote with them either, but he was clearly the orchestrator.

From what I see, people are not starving. Food banks are full, some states are covering the SNAP funding themselves, and many other organizations are ensuring that no one starves. Courts have already ordered the resumption of SNAP payments, and while it might take a week of appeals, it will be done.

They may not care about your opinion, but they care about call volume.

So I take it you think the Dems were right to throw in the towel and let healthcare premiums double or quadruple for millions of Americans?

Yes, the courts have already ordered the orange traitor to resume SNAP payments. The court order was appealed and is on fast track to be settled very soon. I predict that the appeals court will rule with the lower court, and then the SCOTUS will either refuse to hear it, or rule the same.

Of course not, he'll never sign a bill that helps Americans. But he's not going to be around for much longer, either his own body will kill him, or the GOP will realize they are totally doomed unless they dump him.

Undoubtedly Schumer orchestrated it, but the ones who voted for it are the real traitors in the end.

Me, too. Just turn it into counter-action. That's the one thing we can all do.🙂

State and local services would have protected the people on SNAP, the courts would have protected those being fired (as they have already started), and the MAGAts (already reeling from the election last week) would have eventually realized that the healthcare issue would destroy them, and given up.

Age is not the issue. There is nothing wrong with growing old, as long as you are still mentally ok.
The issue here is a tendency to view the enemy as civilized as yourself, adhering to traditional norms.
The people who caved stupidly believe the Reps will deal with them honestly in January. 🤬😬

You can call all of them that you have time and inclination for, even if you are not their constituent. Call volume is what matters to them.

Schumer likely orchestrated the whole thing, but he found 8 dems who were not running again or weren't up for reelection for 6 years to do the voting.

While I agree with a lot of what you said, Democrats are still the best option by far. We just need to weed out the ones who kneel and fertilize the ones who stand strong.

Schumer is already on my shitlist, and no doubt he was fine with this. It wouldn't hurt to call him as well, if you're up for it.
