   Yesterday, ten Democrats in the Senate collaborated to advance the Republican spending bill.

   Accommodation and acquiescence. Learned helplessness and preemptive surrender. Retreat and complicity.

   In the midst of an unprecedented assault on the constitutional order, the nominal opposition party fails to use the one key tool in its arsenal to push back. What a disaster.

     This is not a victory for "centrists" or "moderates" over "the Left" or the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. This is a faction of accommodationists, people entirely incapable of imagining anything but politics-as usual, and outright collaborators sabotaging those who wish to fight back.
