All they had to do to win was nothing. Everyone already blamed republicans. They couod have just sat on their hands until Trump caved.
The plan was to do nothing and they still failed

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Yeah literally just had to sit there and wait, but I guess stopping weapons shipments was the final straw for them.
Respectfully, liberals blamed Republicans.
The working class, and most of America, blames the Dems, and no matter how much reality you feed them, no matter how bad material conditions get, their brains are too damaged by propaganda to understand anything except “Dem bad, illegals bad, welfare bad”.
Part of this is Dems allowing the Overton ratchet to exist as controlled opposition. It’s the logical conclusion to their game. This could only ever end one way, and it’s the way we are seeing it now.
The USA has a long, long, long way to fall.

The working class, and most of America don't suppory Republicans. They also don't support Dems. They usually don't vote for obvious reasons. Polling showed most of the country blamed Republicans.
The working class is not the Republican base. Its not the Dem base either, but this is a pretty strange view of the working class in the US and most of Americans. Respectfully
the working class isn't the gop's target base, the petty bourgeoisie is. in fact, it's pretty rare for dems to lose any high-turnout presidential election, because the majority of americans don't own businesses. i doubt the average member of the working class spends a whole lot of time hating welfare, dems, or even immigrants. even if you don't consider the polls, the president gets blamed for everything.

Poks.
they did polling and found that a majority of people blame the Republicans, which has a lot to do with the fact that they control every branch
God, Dems are going to fall for these Republican lies so hard. When will the Dems learn that once you give a Republican anything... I mean ANYTHING... that they will turn around and tell everyone that they made the thing all by themselves and do not feel beholden to pay back or return the favor EVER.
Once they have what they want it doesn't matter who owes who what. It's FUCK YOU I GOT MINE. The number one driving motivation of most conservatives.
They're not falling for anything. They just suck. They want it over and need something to tell the media and West wing brained libs.
They’re literally just mad their flights got delayed
Pretty much this. I think so many of them are west wing brained big time, and think they're being just sooo righteous and taking one on the chin for the little guy right now, and then the voters will truly see who loves them the most come the midterms. They're fucking dumb.
If the gop removed the filibuster it would make the Dems job much harder next time they're in power because their voters might start thinking they have the means to actually accomplish something, so they had to cave now
They didn't fall for anything. This is who they are. They are telling you who they are in doing this. The GOP set the agenda and the Dems are there to capture the backlash and dissipate it. That's it. Even when the GOP are in the minority and the Dems have a super majority. The GOP is the ruling party and has been for decades now.
"You loose! You get nothing!"
The only new additions to the emerging deal are provisions reversing government layoffs ordered during the shutdown, language preventing new layoffs through the duration of the stopgap and back pay for federal workers — which is already required under a 2019 law.
Notably, there is no guarantee that the Obamacare subsidies will be extended — and no commitment from Republican House leaders to even hold a vote at all on the subsidies.
Still, the deal was good enough for seven Senate Democrats and one independent: Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., John Fetterman, D-Pa., Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., Tim Kaine, D-Va., Angus King, I-Maine, Jackie Rosen, D-Nev., and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.
Not only do you get nothing, you also get to gear up to do it all over again in January:
Even if, as expected, both chambers pass the bill and President Donald Trump signs it, most of the government will only be funded through that stopgap bill going until Jan. 30.
Congress could be back to another standoff in a matter of weeks. And if the subsidies issue hasn’t been resolved by then, Republicans may have an even more difficult time persuading Democrats to come along on another funding bill.
When Shaheen was asked Sunday night if Democrats would be willing to vote against government funding in January — if Republicans hadn’t extended the subsidies — she said that was “certainly an option that I think everybody will consider.”
Fucking dipshits.
Like the Dems will have any spine left for another shutdown...
Lmfao can't even just do nothing to win I'm so weak 😂
They are so fucking stupid.
Republicans: "Hey Democrats, we pinky pwomise to vote on the thing we didn't want in the budget."
Democrats: "golly gee, you're such great friends!"
THE REPUBLICANS AREN'T GOING TO LET YOU GET 60 VOTES TO GET THE ACA EXTENSION. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS. WE KNOW THIS IS ON PURPOSE, YOURE NOT THAT STUPID.
no more half measures walter
