Change the Democratic Shutdown Tactic

Without a doubt, Democrats in Congress had to do something. 

Senator Schumer has been hammered relentlessly by online trolls, both foreign and domestic, along with heartfelt criticism from the activist wing of the Democratic Party for his (correct) vote in favor of the March "Continuing Resolution". 

Add to this, the hits he has been dealt by political comedians like Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and Jon Stewart -- his old-school, grandfatherly demeanor is not as well suited for the internet age -- plus all of the weakness Congressional Democrats feel and project about their legislative power. The party base has demanded party leadership do something to fight back against Trump and Project 2025. The threat of a filibuster is the biggest tool they have.

There was nothing wrong with them taking a stand. The problem was the hill they chose.

Twenty years ago, health care and Medicaid subsidies might have been a good choice, but whomever chose it this time should step back and let someone else into leadership.

No matter how noble the cause, it was not a good choice.

Of course, the most modern, trolly choice for the social media and YouTube Shorts age would have been "release the Epstein files". Making it the price for Democratic votes is so good, I have to hope someone suggested it and the idea was dismissed as not being serious.

"Release the Epstein files" has become an internet mantra. It is easily digestible and plays well across all platforms. It costs nothing to implement and would be difficult for most Republicans to vote against. A clean CR for the Epstein files would be the ultimate Trump troll.
