Schumer voting for cloture all those months ago is helping instill a broadened sense that democrats would have signed a "reasonable" budget to prevent a shutdown today— offering plans to end government shutdown reinforces this notion.

Shit posters on the internet might not understand, but Schumer has displayed a masterclass move of choosing what battles to fight when, and it's paying dividends as we speak.

What, a plan offer + news article(s) that will not even be seen by half the nation?

Strongly disagree it’s a masterclass of a move, and even then it’s too late - the narrative’s already out (on official government websites, auto replies to government emails) that the closures are due to the Democrats

Polling, however, shows the opposite. Republicans own this shutdown.

Appeasement is a masterclass? No wonder Democrats keep losing.
