23. Schumer didn't vote for it

Nov 10

A group of three former governors — New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, New Hampshire Sen. Maggie Hassan and Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine — broke the six-week stalemate on Sunday when they agreed to vote to advance three bipartisan annual spending bills and extend the rest of government funding until late January in exchange for a mid-December vote on extending the health care tax credits.

-snip-

In addition to Shaheen, King and Hassan, Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, home to tens of thousands of federal workers, also voted in favor of moving forward on the agreement. Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat, Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman and Nevada Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen also voted yes.

The "circular firing squad" does not help our party OR the American people, [View all] Jack Valentino Nov 10 OP

Like to believe they did it for right/valid reasons. Agree, they didn't do it to purposely hurt the vulnerable Silent Type Nov 10 #1

It's not circular if you're firing back at the people who fired on you. JHB Nov 10 #2

I don't mean that we shouldn't vent tonight--- Jack Valentino Nov 10 #11

It's never called "circular firing squad" when "centrists" fire shots at Democrats to their left JHB Nov 10 #19

So we should just be good little saps and let the GOP Demsrule86 Nov 10 #41

Agreed but make sure you fire at the right people Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Nov 10 #25

Fire back at those that actually voted for this rather than smear all Democrats. W_HAMILTON Nov 10 #51

Schumer couldn't get the number 2 Democrat to vote no? dem4decades Nov 10 #60

I believe His No vote was theatre--Schumer recruited the 8, who couldn't be primaried, to vote YES Ars Longa Nov 11 #68

I totally agree with you. The worst thing we can do is divide the party over this. Democrats will keep Vinca Nov 10 #48

Didn't the eight divide the party, by voting against the majority? muriel_volestrangler Nov 10 #56

Guess I missed the referendum where Democrats took a vote. I imagine it's more likely split 50/50 on the issue. Vinca Nov 10 #63

That's true, but unless we change, it will happen again. NT Happy Hoosier Nov 10 #50
