It’s because Schumer worked to get this to happen, then bowed out at the end so he could pretend he had nothing to do with it. He was the architect and the driving force behind this capitulation.

So people are downvoting MiddleAgesModem for falling for a blatantly obvious attempt by Schumer to redirect blame.

Recognition and thanks for what, though?

Do you want me to congratulate them for not shitting themselves, too? I’ll congratulate and thank them when they start actually representing me, instead of capitulating without gaining a single thing at all.

I’ts not supposed to make sense, it’s supposed to convince people not to vote, because people exercising their rights are inconvenient to the republican leadership and their backers.
