He and the rest of these old neo-libetals needs to fucking retire and move the fuck out of the way of actual democratic party progress.
Only possible argument out there is that Chuck Schumer was somehow worried about the people who were going to have to live without a paycheck until the government was funded . But by giving in and funding the government without making Trump provide some sort of concession to Elon Musk’s role, those people are all at risk anyway, so I don’t know why Chuck chose to capitulate unless he’s being blackmailed or he was bought off 
sigh. was going to skip but you started you reply with only possible argument. And I get it I had knee jerk was to just not vote with them. The thing is trumps main focus right now is tearing apart the government but he does hit road blocks in that you can't just fire people without reason unless they have not been there long. So its being fought and he is limited. In a government shutdown scenario the executive (trump) has to furlough people and can decide who is necessary and who is not. Courts can't put a stop to it because its a furlough due to a shutdown. Then any bad effects can now be blamed on the democrats plus when the shutdown is over he can point to we ran well enough without the furloughed folks which is why they should be let go. The shutdown is not really a good option. I get the feeling but the smart move was to prevent the shutdown.
Right now the Dems don't hold any power, it's the perfect opportunity for the ones who are actually progressive to split and launch another party. That would pull the Overton window to the left.
"Must" in a headline means "won't."
Take the rest of the dems who voted with him too
it's time to "chuck" Schumer.
