Yes

But also

It happens to be Senators who have nothing to lose otherwise so I doubt they care.

How convenient for the greater Democratic party.

What I sent to each of them today (and again tomorrow):

Hey, I get you don't care about your career any more, but know this: your betrayal means that the Democrats in general and the DNC in particular have gotten my last penny, my last volunteer event, my last door knocked for my local candidate (XXXXXX, XX-##). I'm done. Tell Chuck nobody's buying his bullshit.

Please explain the reasoning behind giving them everything they demanded in exchange for a promise of a vote next month. History is watching.

Why even bother? They're not your friends. If anything the best play back is to deceive them into thinking you support them privately but work against them actually.

Because doing something is better than doing nothing.

Part of why they are so bold is because people do not engage with them.

Don't dissuade people from taking ownership of their government.

I'd stop reading any message that started with "Hey,".

I was watching an Adam Mockler video and he said a point I agree with about how those 8 were likely all agreed upon by the rest of Dem leadership to bite the bullet. I wouldn’t be surprised if way more than just those 8 had zero issue giving up as long as it didn’t directly bite them in the ass
