I think it's now shown beyond any reasonable doubt that neither have any fucks to give for their constituents. As near as I can tell, we're fucked either way, but the Dems will at least give us flowers.
Jeffries was saying this morning that Dems shouldn't criticize Schumer, that he "fought the good fight".
From where I stand, Schumer spent forty-one days claiming he was defending poor folk and medical care, and then he surrendered. That is not fighting the good fight. That is abject surrender. Anyone who takes this GOP at its word is a fool -- or as you indicate, a tool in the original sense of that word.
He didn't personally surrender, he didn't vote for this, but it's hard to believe that eight senators who are retiring voted with the Republicans without coordinating it with the minority leader.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
