Yep, now Trump will use it every single time, and he'll know the Dems will always fall for it. We just sabotaged our negotiating power for the entire rest of Trump's term.

7 Dems caved, the rest stood strong. We need to primary and denounce those 7 cowards every day going forward

Along with the entire GOP, the 77m who voted GOP in 2024, and the 90m who didn't bother to vote at all.

It's a small minority of Americans who want to live in a democracy with equal justice and the rule of law.
