It seems to me that EITHER they shouldn't have called the vote for witnesses (and accepted that the acquittal would happen today) OR they should have followed thru and actually called witnesses. This was tantamount to just saying "psyche!" for no reason. 1/
Having said that, as irritated as I am, the fact remains that the House Managers have done a phenomenal job, and *IF* it's true that calling witnesses would have delayed ANY other Senate business being done, including the #AmRescuePlan, by several more weeks... 2/
...then I do have *some* sympathy for the decision to wrap it up. Not much, but some.
HAVING SAID THAT, they better make goddamned sure the #AmRescuePlan *and* other major bills like voter protection, are pushed through ASAP. Otherwise they'll have made this call for nothing. 3/

Anyway, while I think they made the wrong call, if your response is "I won't vote in 2022," I'll say the same thing I said after 2010, and after 2016: You're an idiot.
Pissed at Schumer? Find, vote for AOC (or whoever his primary challenger is). Then vote D in the general. 4/

Illinois had a GOP Senator as recently as 2017.
Fulton County, GA (Atlanta) is 3:1 Dem, but if fewer than 12,000 residents hadn't voted, Trump would've won GA.
EVERY. VOTE. MATTERS. EVEN. IN. THE. BLUEST. ZIP CODE.
