Senator Jeanne Shaheen just threw the minority leader under the bus.
Senator Jeanne Shaheen revealed that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer knew the entire time about the plan for a few Democrats to capitulate to Republicans on the government shutdown.
Shaheen, one of the seven Democrats (and one independent) who dropped their demand for a guaranteed extension of Obamacare subsidies, spoke to Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade on Monday morning.
Aside from serving as further proof that the Democrats are failing to act as an opposition party in any meaningful way, Shaheen’s comments also reveal one of two possible scenarios. Either Schumer was scheming to end the shutdown behind the scenes, only pretending to be against it while pinning the blame on the eight people who aren’t up for reelection anytime soon, or he has no control over his party. Either way, it proves the need for Democrats to jettison the minority leader.
You lost me when you called Dems neoliberal.
There are like 3 neoliberal democrats.
Democrats are mostly modern liberals.
Republicans are classical liberals and neoliberals.
Would it really hurt you to learn the definition of a few words? Reagan was the US neoliberal movement.
What are you talking about? Every President since Reagan has been neoliberal.
Sure if you are a Marxist Leninist.
Clinton embraced some neoliberal policy. Obama was not a neoliberal and tells me you don’t understand what neoliberal means. Biden was the most progressive president we have ever had lol. (Since FDR.)
But sure “neoliberal.”
Neoliberals believe in the de-regulation of capital, which has been the outcome of every president since Reagan, regardless of the words they use to win elections.
And Biden was progressive? Lol you really have no idea what words mean.
