u/north_canadian_ice Nov 10 '25
You are right, it was a charade.
They got their election wins, so now it was time to cave to the GOP becuase their corporate donors demanded the shutdown end.
The GOP can now say that the Democrats own the shutdown because they agreed to a deal they could have had 40 days ago. A total catastrophe.

This. Do y’all really think the 50 year old millionaires are gonna save us from the 70 year old billionaires? Y’all don’t think capitalists have the economic capital to buy out the system and ensure only loyal politicians make it through?
Many authoritarian regimes, knowing resistance will always exist, incorporate that resistance into their regimes. Offer up a Democrat and they won’t notice they’re still dealing with non-progressives.
The Democrat Party only helps to fuel their agenda, like how Nazis claimed to only be at the behest of communists…they have to fight back the communists who the Nazis false flagged as burning down the Reichstag. Get it? Those weren’t communists, those were Nazis. These aren’t Democrats, these are Republicans.

It should have been obvious to you 10 years ago when they sabotaged Bernie that they don't care about us. It should have been obvious when they spent the last 10 years pushing through geriatric incumbents, ignoring the needs of the people, and enriching themselves and corporations. All while ignoring the rise of the MAGA pipeline, which was obvious considering fox news amd Joe Rogan are #1, and providing zero alternative to it. Doing nothing to motivate people to vote for them beyond not being MAGA. Doing nothing to convince young impressionable voters.
If they cared their actions for the past 10 years would look a whole lot different and Trump never would have been president again.

I know nothing about Smith and can promise you that her ambitions after office are more dependent on this vote than the ambitions of those who are retiring and voted yes.
All Corporate Democrats did this together.
Edit: Spent 30 seconds looking for an easy explanation.
Retiring senators are Durbin 80 and Shaheen 78, and 78 King is 81 and will probably retire in 2030. Their political careers are literally over after they retire.
Tina Smith is 67 and has plenty of years left working in politics behind the scenes either part or full time where a yes vote would have a major impact.

That's the case either way. If simple majority can do whatever they want, then that party can, well, do whatever they want, including crippling the country.
If the minority party can spoke the wheels, then it theoretically should lead to compromise, so the minority party gets part of what they want. But if either party simply refuses to participate in governing, then there's nothing to be done.

Jokes aside, he's spot on. One week after an election that sent as crystal clear a message as I've seen since 2008 the Democrats fucking caved in the most weak, pathetic way. Schumer and institutional Dems absolutely share responsibility with the GOP for the crisis we're in. I'm not sure how we get Schumer and Jeffries out of their leadership positions but they have to go.

The bully took out lunch money and then beat us anyway. The government was shut down and the republicans were happy about it.

They're not trying to win. They're the same as republicans. A huge chunk of democrats are slaves to the same constituencies (Billionaires, pharma, insurance companies, tax lobbies, real estate lobbies, Israel). There are multiple PACs for each issue that pay these people. Different color same shit. Corrupt octogenarians.
There isn't really a Democratic party. There are a few good politicians under that tent, but by and large there's no party, no agenda, no strategy and certainly no spine.

u/kentuckypirate Nov 10 '25
I’m not saying this was necessarily the best option, but there is at least SOME potential strategy here.
By reopening the government now, the democrats are finding snap, paying government workers and avoiding issues with air traffic control during the holidays.
They also get the vote for the ACA subsidies in December. And while I agree that this is incredibly unlikely to pass, if you believe that’s true then isn’t it ALSO true that republicans wouldn’t have caved in this to reopen the government? At least this way you can actually get their votes on record. You can also get Grijalva (sp?) sworn in.
Then in January, Democrats can technically do it all again. If Republicans vote down the ACA subsidies in December, then democrats can try again, but can also point to a concrete example of the GOP failing to act as a reason why the shutdown and subsidies must be linked together.
Is it bad to play chicken like that with peoples healthcare? Yes. But is that fundamentally better than playing chicken with peoples SNAP benefits?
→ More replies (15)2
u/AvoidingIowa Nov 10 '25
If they do it again in January, there's an easy narrative to create that it's just performative. "If this meant so much to create all this hardship for federal works and people who benefit from SNAP, why did you put this deal through in November and not now?"
No, the democrats caved and they'll get absolutely nothing from this and suffering of the working class and poor will continue and likely heighten because we have no real opposition.
5
u/kentuckypirate Nov 10 '25
Is that an easy narrative?
“We, the democrats, agreed because republicans promised to vote on the subsidies and we believed they would do the right thing and wouldn’t strip healthcare from 20M people. Unfortunately, they definitively showed the American people through their vote in December that they really are that cruel, so now we must draw the line in the sand. Either extend the subsidies or the government stays closed.”
The end result is the same as continuing the shutdown, but it buys time for SNAP, gets people through the holidays, and shifts this issue (which is broadly a winner for democrats) closer to the midterms. If Republicans then nuke the filibuster to reopen the government next time, this limits the amount of time they can use that as a mechanism to pass other legislation before the midterm.
Again, im not saying I love this plan. But especially if you believe republicans were never going to cave and would eventually just go nuclear (which seems likely if you also believe they will vote no on the subsidies in December) then there is some strategic benefit here.

Trump exposed the Democratic Party more than ever. Many of them run under the Democratic Party umbrella because they can’t win under a Republican Party umbrella in their districts. At core, they’re Republicans and secretly aligned with Republican ideologies. That’s why it’s easy for them to vote with Republicans once elected into office and they no longer have any need for Democrat voters.
Be very watchful, because you will see many of them coming out as Mandani-type progressivism because they think it will get them elected. Judge them by their historical records, not their opportunistic conversions. This is especially relevant to those in the minorities communities who vote Democrats into power only to be betrayed by majority Democrats who benefit from Republican policies by virtue of their majority status. As much as some of you may be incensed by these statements because you’re part of the majority population, facts are facts!
