Here’s what occurred. It has been widely assumed that the group of eight mostly centrist Senate Democrats, who have been looking to broker a hollow deal on Republican terms, were freelancing. In fact, they were acting with the express approval of Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and were reporting to him daily.

It seems either Leader Chuck Schumer conspired against the party at large, or they did have the support of Democrats.

This article says they moved with the explicit approval and knowledge of Schumer.

This links to a clip on Fox news where Shaheen confirms they informed Schumer of their moves every step of the way. It's not just a few bad apples, the bunch is rotten.

They're not confused, they're not cowards, they know what will happen, they are complicit.

I would assume that yes. The more progressive wing of democrats have been fed up with Chuck for a long time and so have a lot of the voters. Allowing riskier seats to have plausible deniability is the whole purpose of having the least risky seats be the ones to break. What worries me is Chuck is more than likely not the only one voting no now that there's enough yes votes but secretly in favor of it. How are we going to find those other people?

Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of being ineffective and called for his removal.

In this article Seth Moulton calls for Schumers removal putting the blame on him, because he knows what Chuck was doing. He's far from the only Democrat calling our Schumer specifically for this.

Clip from faux news

KILMEADE: Schumer says he's voting no. Did you do this outside leadership?

SHAHEEN: No. We kept leadership informed throughout.

We have confirmation from other articles that Schumer organized this, so why did he vote no himself? Don't fall for it.

They were picked to vote this way beause their seats are either not up for election next year or they're retiring. Schumer masterminded this but voted no himself in a form of fake resistance. We have to punish more than just this list or nothing changes. It's a big setup and they're trying to play us for fools.

All the dems responsible are either retiring or not up for reelection at the midterms, theres a reason Schumer moved behind the scenes and tapped who he tapped. They should all be held accountable. Staged reistance from Chuckle fuck

Wonder which marginalized group they threw under the bus for this. My guess is people with disabilities.

I wish they had the balls to slap RICO charges on the president and his co-conspirators. This is literally what they were made for.

Similar verbiage is what Putin used to enter Ukraine. Just a small special opration right?
