Why did Democrats cave? MAGA can't be trusted. This isn't politics as usual.

To: Sen. Van Hollen, Sen. Alsobrooks

From: A constituent in Annapolis, MD

November 11

Hello. Very disappointed right now. I know you voted against ending the shutdown, but I'm still disappointed that we gave away our only bargaining chip for nothing. I was personally affected by the shutdown, but we were prepared for the cost if Democrats would just hold the line. On the one hand, we don't need a divided party. On the other hand, this isn't politics as usual and it's not time to play nice. It'd be great to have some accountability in our government. If we cant hold our own party accountable, how can we hope to hold this administration accountable? As I've written in the past, only you have the power to do something. Don't let us down.
