Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer offered a new plan to Republicans that would allow the U.S. government to reopen after a shutdown that began on Oct. 1.

But Republicans quickly dismissed Schumer’s proposal, which hinges on protecting enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies for at least one year.

Schumer’s proposal calls for Democrats to agree to pass a so-called clean resolution that would provide short-term funding for government operations.

      Because you cant admit you’re wrong, I can’t?

      I would be delighted to be wrong. And you’re fooling yourself if you think Schumer is up for a fight.

        What was I wrong about?

        No, you won’t admit it. You’ll continue to oppose Schumer at all times and in all circumstances even when he does the thing you say you want him to do.

          Well for one thing, I do admit when I’m wrong.

          You’re full of shit, so I assume it’s all projection.

          Furthermore, this attempt at negotiating and compromise signals an intent to… you know… compromise…. With people that haven’t actually compromised in 20 years.

          Which, if you have not been paying attention, is how we’ve come to be here.

          Yeah, I have no reason to believe Schumer is going to do the right thing here, either.
