It mostly seems to be the peanut gallery which uses that language - but never the leaders. So I'm left to rhetorically wonder, who's pushing the narrative that Dem politicians use that language? I even had coworkers who told me that Pelosi and Schumer are stoking the fires by calling our president Hitler. And yet they never said that...
So...that's one? A literally-who to most lay people, but yea, it is one Democratic politician. I see your one Illinois Governer and raise you one US President:
> "These people are running a Gestapo administration. It's the only thing they have. And it's the only way they're going to win, in their opinion..."
> "Every time the radical left Democrats, Marxists, communists and fascists indict me, I consider it actually a great badge of honor.... Because I’m being indicted for you"
My dude this is irrelevant to whether or not the dems are handing the president PR ammo. Try to stay on topic.
> they want certain people to continue to have access to the ACA packages
Whew, glad you added an italicized certain. Was totally confusing when I wrote it.
> holding the government funding hostage
Art of the deal, baby. Many such cases.
As an “art of the deal” thing, I feel bad for Schumer. He is between a rock and a hard place. I have never seen a politician in a greater position of weakness. Both with Trump and with his constituents. Trump can’t run again, so he doesn’t care about 2028 votes. He was impeached twice, spent four years getting hounded legally from the opposition party, telegraphed his entire intention for a second term and still managed to win re-election soundly, flipped the senate, preserved the house majority, and doesn’t care and even dares Schumer to shutdown the government.
Trump definitely didn’t run on “business as usual”. He ran on the exact opposite. So I am not sure why Schumer seems to think he has any leverage with drawing a line in the sand on a business as usual Biden immigration healthcare policy.
Meanwhile, he has the young attractive popular socialist nipping at his heels who makes his noisiest constituents happy and the largest city in his state excited to elect an actual Marxist.
Poor bastard.
