      So you have no proof whatsoever. You guys are essentially Trumpers just on the opposite end of the political spectrum. Factual reality just does not matter to you. Just “vibes”. It’s absolutely pathetic.

      First and foremost, he voted against it. You have no proof that he only did so because he coordinated with others to vote for it. That’s a conspiracy that you have concocted because you HAVE to believe Schumer is evil because you’ve already decided that he is.

      He opposed it on the floor. He was NOT part of the group of Democrats that negotiated with Republicans.

      The shut down was ended by the choice of individual Senators, not a party-wide dictum. The reasons they gave, right or wrong, were based on their constituencies. Some over SNAP. Some because they represent a good deal of federal workers and got concessions from Republicans on that front.

      Durbin said Schumer had nothing to do with it and that Schumer was “not happy” about it.

      Only Durbin and Shaheen have said they’re retiring at the end of their current term. That’s only 2 out of the 8 Democrats that voted fort he stopgap.

      Schumer is your boogeyman “establishment” scapegoat that you have NO ISSUE being blatantly dishonest about because you think your particular misinformation and conspiracy theories are morally justified. They’re not.

      You guys will stop at nothing to continue to ensure Republicans destroy this country.

        Lol, this your first time following national politics on a controversial issue? Or are you naive enough to think that a POLITICIAN won’t play POLITICS? You’re right that I have no proof, but the Democratic party has long lost the benefit of the doubt in my mind. I still vote for them because there’s no other option, but I’m not going to pretend like their shit doesn’t stink.

        You guys will stop at nothing to continue to ensure Republicans destroy this country.

        Classic response for pointing out how CONVENIENT the expected democratic belly roll ends up being. Also, way to completely disregard the actual point while you’re busy defending the shit moves the Dems make

        Most, but not all, previously held state-level office — including four former governors. Most, but not all, come from presidential swing states. Two have announced they are retiring from the Senate after their current terms end, and two are senior members of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

        None are up for reelection in 2026.

        But yeah, the person who wants the democratic party to fight for the people instead of rolling over is totally wanting the republicans to win.

        Go back to the circus 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
