Used to be, I thought John Fetterman would show Democrats the way into the Promised Land. No longer.
I had to get that off my chest. This whole post is me getting stuff off my chest because I am coming late to this party.
I am limiting myself to Once Again, Senate Democrats Show They Don’t Get Who They Represent (The New Republic), and Dems Reward the Hostage-Taker (The Bulwark).
My reaction was we need to get Chuck Schumer out of the Minority Leader job. Only he voted against the deal. I listened to the following video, and if there is any reason for dumping Schumer it is that he either lacked the power or the will to keep the defecting 8 within the fold. The 8 either are not up for re-election, or not up for re-election next year.
What did they get? A promise to maybe talk about Obamacare. A chance at a hand job, to be rude about it.
The defecting 8 got nothing for bending over and spreading their nether regions makes them morons.
That they are not up for re-election next year makes them joining the Republicans seem not just dumber, but flavors their stupidity with cravenness,
And the Democratic leadership cannot understand why people have such a distaste for the party?
