Reminder: The minority does not run government [View all]
It is not the responsibility of Jeffries or Schumer to fund the government. They are minority leaders.
I think it is problematic that our leadership has framed this as a negotiation, that they want to sit at the table, etc.
There is no way for us to win. We shouldn't be involved. It isn't the job of the minority to buttress the majority's whip count.
Jeffries and Schumer being in the news, and pretending that they have real leverage gives the illusion that this will end with winners. It will not. There will be loser or more losers.
Vote no. We want no part of a government that arrests without due process. We want no part of a government that doesn't exalt free speech. We want no part of a government that deports citizens.
As a side point - why do we broadcast our votes? Isn't that tactically disadvantageous?
