If victory next November means the same capitulating, grab your ankles and take it up the ass horseshit you’ve been serving up to us all this time then I think maybe we need to drive you fuckers out and make room for people who will actually fight for us.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.

If nothing else, spite and rage are two things I have infinite amounts of.
my anger is not going away in a few weeks. it is insulting for these senators to horsetrade so that ppl retiring or not running until 2030 can vote no while they find just enough yes votes to do what the GOP wants.
i will be angry for longer than a few weeks and i don't appreciate the condescension.

8 Senate Dems made this happen. None of them are up for re-election and two of them are retiring.
So instead of bothering to do anything politically, picket their houses, follow them in the streets, call them rude names, refuse them service, anything that makes them regret what they've done.

Hold Republicans accountable?
How about holding accountable the Dems who fucked us with this non-deal bullshit?
How about the Dem leadership who couldn't hold their members together and let the ones who are retiring and aren't up for re-election to take the political hit?

1. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone.

This is so fucking insulting. This is why you don't settle.
AUTHORS!!
Remember that case where a bunch of authors sued AI for stealing their work? And WON?
Well, the settlement money has been announced. Each WORK that got thefted will be compensated $3k (split 50/50 bw publisher + author). So authors will be compensated $1500 per WORK stolen.
