    If you think you have political capital options in the current administration you’re insane

      And that you accumulate it by not doing things. It’s such an inane concept that somehow only gets used to argue against acting and never for.

        And just the stupidity of thinking Chuck fucking schumer is going to be the political genius of building and using political capital effectively. Just ridiculous.

        Yeah. If you look like a bitch to people who think “the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must”, then the strong will do what they can(that is what you allow them to do with little resistance) and you suffer what you must.

        I’m well versed in how political capital and pragmatism works, especially in the United States structure. And you’re insane if you think that has any bearing with how schumer has handled this and with how the current administration is running. It’s mind boggling how you can be stupid and condescending this hard at the same time.
