The Democrats are about to experience a vocal backlash from part of their constituency and a nihilistic apathy from the other. The apathy is a political death knell.

Caving on a deal to end the shutdown with no guarantees from Republicans literally five days after the country confirmed that they were blaming the GOP for the shutdown is the most Democrat move ever.

Fuck these useless politicians.

Chuck Schumer saying now, "However this vote turns out, this fight will and must continue. Democrats must fight". What an out of tune, useless twat waffle. We've been begging for the party to show some fight and the minute it gets hard, they cave. Good luck finding folks with the stomach to continue the fight Chuckie boy. Perhaps pspsps is right, this is the death knell for the party.

Agreed. If they were going to cave without an agreement to extend Obamacare subsidies then they never should have made this fight, imo. They're not going to get any credit for doing so and will simply get all the blame for the hardships and if the subsidies are cut then people will blame them instead of Republicans. Congressional Democrats are just so unprepared for this moment. I mean, you hold out this long for the subsidies and then fold and approve a budget without a guarantee that the subsidies will stay?

Yeah this would be an absolutely terrible, stupid move. The Dems are WINNING the shutdown. Trump is calling to end the filibuster and getting egg on his face for refusing to pay SNAP. Absolutely insane time for Dems to cave without getting anything real. It makes no political sense. None.
 
If Schumer is a no vote, who's running the caucus? Did he endorse the talks that led to this abomination? If not, is there a rogue faction running amok in the Dem caucus? You can bet your sweet ass McConnel would've never let this shit show play out on the MAGA side. He ruled them with an iron fist.
