House dems are PISSED at what Schumer just did. This is the case where outside voices are maximally helpful - when people on the inside of the party want him out. Let's build continued pressure. This will not happen overnight, it will happened when we keep the pressure consistently high

I believe that's the plan. They want the GOP to own all of this. If they hold the CR, suddenly that is the reason people are getting fired, the stock market is crashing, NATO is falling apart and our allies are ~~being abandoned by~~ abandoning us.

They're afraid if there's one thing to point to that they'll absorb everything in the eyes of the public. Particularly the Trump voting public.

In my opinion, it doesn't matter because they'll find something else to pin it on. You can't win these games by playing it their way.

Schumer did what he thought was best. He's just wrong.

That said, I think pushing for a change of leadership is the right way to go about this. If he's going to make bad decisions, he can pay for them appropriately.
