    Are people actually shocked that a Democrat is doing what Democrats always do, they feign resistance, but in the end, give Republicans everything they ask for.

      I think your blanket statement applies to certain people of a certain moral fortitude and not “Democrats”. Schumer and Pelosi made a life of this kind of bullshit but it doesn’t work anymore. That doesn’t mean other similarly aligned reps will toe that line.

        They either toe the line or they get primaried. They either toe the line or they have no committees that they have any influence on. They either they tow the line or they go nowhere within the party.

        It hasn’t worked for decades and they kept doing it anyway.

        That doesn’t mean other similarly aligned reps will toe that line.

        Just the ones who don’t want heavily funded primary challengers.
