this is literally like when a toddler shits their pants because their mom wouldn’t do exactly what they wanted it’s the same part of their brain
anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

Dems will almost certainly flip one seat on Utah's new congressional map if it stands.
It creates a safely blue Harris+24 seat in Salt Lake City, replacing a GOP gerrymander that split the SLC area four ways to ensure every seat was dark red.

Loser shit. If Republicans win the Senate in 2026, the first thing that happens is Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito and possibly John Roberts resign and a 6-3 majority is enshrined for at least 20 years.

So strange to me that so many people saw that series of events and instead of concluding that the Dems should have listened to the people and stopped supporting a genocide, have instead decided to blame the voters for having values in the first place

This is objectively nonsense but people believe it because nostalgia is one of the most powerful political forces on earth - especially if it's imagined nostalgia on the part of people who never experienced the times they claim to miss. /1
Things are objectively worse now than the 80s or 90s.

No one is really going to pay attention to the ACA subsidy vote because what matters is Democrats had leverage, people saw them use it, and people saw them give it away

The number of people in the last 18-odd hours who’ve told me as a federal employee (contractor, so I have no guarantee of backpay) some version of, “well, you’re already fucked, so just take one for the team” has been really eye-opening.

BTW, you can be angry at those senators without rage-posting about it. Especially if you are making sweeping statements about the party.
The narrative that only Democrat electeds have agency is an insidious one. Don't feed it!

Why does the thing Americans voted for keep happening? Why won’t somebody just stop the thing that the majority of the people who participated in a representational democracy voted for? How could we possibly have stopped this thing in a country where an absurd number of people just aren’t voting?

It starts all over & there could be another shutdown in 10 weeks, right as Trump is supposed to give the SOTU. And after people will lose their insurance.
The 8 shouldn’t have voted yes, but it’s still the Repubs facing the bigger political problems

This is all correct. This is why I insist this was a battle, not the war.
I’m having Max Baucus flashbacks
But that was prob worse bc it was horrible tax policy we’re still living with
But this happens again in 10 weeks, AFTER people lose their health insurance. That’s a horrible, horrible outcome. I’d vote no. But in Jan that will be an even bigger problem for Repubs
