Democrats Stay True To Form

"Democrats cave: Nothing for states or cities, nothing for election protection or the post office, no oversight, no limits on fossil fuel bailouts, no food stamps. They got some testing - somehow that's a GOP concession! - but no contact tracing."

This isn’t caving. It’s class solidarity.

They didn't cave. This is who they are.

It's what they always do, and defend with the promise of getting something that's better than nothing and making progress later, except we don't have time to wait, so it isn't actually better than nothing.

The side willing to propose anything is the side that wins in this case. Dems haven't proposed their own bill since the first week of March. Schumer and Pelosi have been negotiating on Mnuchin's and McConnell's terms since.
