It's not really caving. They knew the offer would never be accepted, but now they can say, "See, we made an offer and they wouldn't even vote on it."
It's nothing but.
Agreed. It’s calling their bluff. Now Dems need to have 10 people on every right wing show yelling at the talking heads about whose fault all this is.
It's not calling anything. Democrats just cave. It's all they do.
The only people to believe this are people with very short memories.
Dude, they just offered to end the shutdown and get nothing out of it.
That's called caving. But you're right. They don't cave at all times about everything. They were absolutely steadfast about selling weapons for genocide.
EDIT: And dear fucking lord, I'm so tired of centrists saying there's something wrong with the brain of anyone who disagrees with them about anything at all. The gaslighting and ableism are disgusting, but not even remotely surprising from the wing of the party that also supports genocide and spewed Islamophobic hate at Mamdani for daring to beat their preferred sex pest cuomo in the primaries and in the general.
You think extending the health care subsidies is nothing?
Must be nice to be privileged.
two different votes. One guaranteed to fail, since republicans don't want it. The entire point of having both on one vote is so republicans have to vote for something they otherwise wouldn't.
They're not extending health care subsidies. They're jettisoning them. With your enthusiastic approval.
They knew holding their ground was popular, so they did it until the election, and now they're abandoning the people who elected them, brazenly, openly, and with your support.
Must be nice to have two parties that perfectly represent everything you're about.
