I was going to say she’s hearing something in the roof but she doesn’t move her ears at all. Usually cats will move their ears for better clarity.

Yes, but thats not the full story. The duopoly enables Reps destruction. “Lesser of 2 evils” encourages Dems to be the lesser evil, muddying the message and suppressing votes.

A positive as in “The previous strategy isn’t working. This new action will yield positive results.”

It’s less a “battle that was lost” and more “we threw in the towel while we had Trump on the ropes”. You seem set on framing the Dems surrender as a positive so there isn’t much more to discuss. Have a good day.

I think the ACA fight being downgraded from the shutdown to a vote will allow them to squeak by while “bigger stories” draw people’s attention. We’ll see.
