In reply to the discussion: ACA credits people are accusing Chuck Schumer of abandoning would not even exist without his leadership [View all]

This is his caucus, and he failed to lead them in this moment. ACA coverage is now lost for millions of Americans. That matters. We need new leadership.
Even IF the deal was as good as you believe (and I disagree with you on that), Schumer's inability to deliver on the messaging is damning. Same issue we had in March. Enough is enough — he’s clearly not equipped to lead in this crisis.

Zero chance of that. We all just need to conform harder and be more servile to leadership.

That sounds like how abusive/neglectful parents talk about kids to excuse their own behavior.

By all means, continue communicating with others as you have been with the same results then.
