(2,053 posts)of Senators wanted a no vote. This wasn't a no vote just to say no. It was purposeful. Chuck Schumer needed to back the majority not provide cover for the others that weren't willing to do what was needed. Sure, tough decision but his way gave all control and support to a Republican party that is making bad decision upon bad decision. When we had an opportunity to give support to our fighters he told them to lay down their only available weapon. He did so during a moment that
they needed a win. A bitter sweet win but a win nevertheless. It could have forced 1. a possible delay of 1 month and 2. the proposals of the Democrats would've need to be considered. A small semblance of control.
Instead Senator weak knees surrendered. To what, fight another day? Now they have to face their constituents and carry your water because you were too weak.
Durbin has been weak on the Judicial committee, Gillibrand was exposed during the primaries, Fetterman has been the biggest disappointment since Sinema, 3 Senators are heading for the exits and now we have Masto to deal with. This is who you gave support to. Schumer, you are such a limp noodle. You don't deserve support from anybody, for anything. Leader my arse. I don't imagine you could do anything to earn my respect back and I know I'm not alone. You crumb.
