Schumer: This is a robbery! Give me all your DACA or I swear to God I will pull the trigger!

Trump: No.

BANG!

Schumer: This terrible tragedy is all Trump's fault.

Edit: I'm not the first to use this type of analogy, by the way...

"Speaker Boehner comes in and he says basically… it’s sort of like this: Someone goes into your house, takes your wife and children hostage and then says ‘Let’s negotiate over the price of your house.’

You know we could do the same thing on immigration. We believe strongly in immigration reform. We could say ‘We’re shutting down the government. We’re not going to raise the debt ceiling until you pass immigration reform.’ It would be governmental chaos."
— Chuck Schumer, 2013

The problem with all of this is that the government being shut down does not matter and 99.9% of people are not affected and no one cares, except it sounds scary and foreboding to say "government shutdown"

The shutdown could last 10 years, barely no one will really care and people will just get used to it as the new normal.

I literally just got back from Jackson Hewitt. I was depending on my income tax return advance to fix my car that broke two days ago, and I couldn't get it because of the shutdown.

Fuck you, Chucky.

There was no Democratic win with the Schumer shutdown. Keep holding out for DACA, appease the progressives but enrage the moderates (mostly apolitical people depending on tax refunds or other govt services). Cave on the shutdown, appease the moderates but enrage the progressives (the ones who were telling him to hold the shutdown gun to Trump's head in the first place).

Of course, you didn't want to think about the moderates. That's why you kept telling yourself a shutdown is fine. Hell, in a week you might have been so comfortable without government services you might have gone ancap.

You know, I was mugged once. I said no. No, I wasn't being brave and cocky; I was depressed and suicidal. But regardless of my reasons, the man couldn't. Later I realized that alley I was in was probably too close to the city's nightclubs and police presence for him to get away with killing me. He chickened out, I kept my money, and I felt much less depressed.

Chucky didn't think this mugging through. If you aren't ready to shoot, no point bringing the gun.

Still, I gotta admit: I thought the progressive arm of the party had such fascistic control over Schumer (and the media, and corporations, and anyone else they could threaten with claims of bigotry) that he would be far to intimidated by his own base to dare back down from Trump. Is this the beginning of a Democrat return to relative sanity?
