    He literally gave the republicans what they wanted in exchange for a vote that would make zero material difference in the lives of his constituents.

      He is the leader, but couldn’t or wouldn’t whip his party to hold the line, and defended the perfidious weasels who caved.

        Another fucking lie from the “virtuous far left”. He criticized their votes.

      What the fuck are you talking about? NO HE DID NOT. He was NOT one of the Democrats who voted to end the shut down.

      You know being progressive isn’t an excuse to be downright dishonest, right?

        OK, if he didn’t approve of their votes, what has he done to punish the democrats who did? Nothing at all? Weird.

          Ok do you’ve abandoned your original premise, proving you’re a lying sack of shit.

          On the your next point, Schumer isn’t a fucking school principal dumbass, how is he going to “punish” them? What the fuck do you think a minority/majority leader does exactly?

          Fake fucking progressives gloating about sinking Democrats and letting Trump run wild.

            My premise is that he was responsible for the party he leads caving, hence why the ones who actually voted weren’t punished.

            He can punish them be taking them off committee assignments. The most basic function of a political party is to be able to negotiate as a bloc.
