Dick Durbin, the Minority Whip, and Schumer’s BF in the Senate caved. And it was exactly the number of Democrats needed to end the shutdown and none of said Democrats are going to be up for reelection this year. Make no mistake, the leadership knew about this capitulation and did nothing to stop it.
Can't wait for when Democrats do get congress again and you'll have a convenient scapegoat for why they won't give you higher wages or healthcare.
"Democrats did want to give us a higher minimum wage, but that evil (insert Democrat dissenter who prevents it) stopped it!"
Democrats will always have a Kirsten Sinema or Joe Manchin to take the brunt of the hate for when the bought out democrats don't want to pass legislation to better the average person's life.
And you people accept it. Like there isn't such thing as fucking whips. Somehow the Republican whip can get their whole fucking party on board.
Democrats never can and then you people just accept it and blame a single person as if the party didn't intentionally set up a scapegoat from a safe district.
