American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

It's bananas to realize Repubs are literally blowing people up & not one single R voter bats an eye & will still loyally vote R.
Meanwhile, D voters are, rightfully, really pissed off.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

Hey Senate Dems, mike johnson said last week he WOULD NOT promise a vote on tax credits!!!
Do you know what a bill the passes the senate but doesn't pass the house is called?
It's called NOTHING!
The republicans wont even hang the January 6th plaque (which is already law) They played you.

With friends like this, who needs enemies?!?
We have had to swallow a lot of bitter pills this year, but seeing Dems betray citizens 5 days after giving Repubs a shellacking at the polls, being stabbed in the back would hurt less.

Let's do this!
Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.
