this goes to the bigger issue of SenateBrain, that it's a rarefied club with rules and subtleties to complex for us non-senators to understand and what the senate should do is above voters and non-senators pay grade. that attitude is the kernel problem.

Something is affecting your ability to read what the piece actually said because that’s not it. Seriously, take a deep breath and read it again and I think you’ll see that the point was lost on you on first reading

I totally understand being pissed. I’m pissed. I’ve made that really clear. I’m also saying this is a dramatically different approach from March, glad as one of many who demanded a different approach. Will pocket that and keep fighting and purging. I’m mad too but I’ve got bigger fish to fry.

that’s not really clear to me. I think it’s more accurate to see it as you already had a group of abt 5 who wanted to end it and three or four went over. So less a matter of “they” then why those additional ones who flipped and why. and on that I’m not really sure.

I meant another leverage point. Not necessarily just abt ACA. On ACA tho it’s complicated. I think if you really want to there’s probably a way but it definitely gets way more complicated.
