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.

White folks are going to do it again next year so dont get your hopes up chat. They already blaming Democrats for the shit Republicans are doing—-
Spoke with one of my best friends just now. Her insurance is now $1200/month. She has left the Democratic Party & is now registered as party-less or independent. A lot to consider.

I need people to take a breath and take a step back if they believe this is true of how normie types are going to respond to this a year from now, or if they want to manifest this narrative to make them respond that way.
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.
And not in a good way.

I’m old enough to remember when folks were hootin and hollering saying ACA was complete trash and nothing less than Medicare for All was an acceptable option ….
So I’m just glad we can all finally admit it’s worth saving.

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?

I don't have anything constructive to say about anything in the world except for fuck every single person who was eligible to vote for Kamala Harris and did not. Senate Democrats did not put us here, as they are inept losers unable to do this kind of damage. Only voters could fuck up this much.

Sure. Which in turn would kick the ball out to mid-January, where we'll be right back where we are now, but with SNAP and federal employee firings off the table, at least.
And again: He'll have to swear in Grijalva, which means 218 for the Epstein files. At least that's my understanding.

Probably the best take I’ve seen all night.
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

Here's their NOMINATE rankings now in the current Senate, where the most liberal member of the caucus would be 1 & most conservative 47:
King 47
Fetterman 46
Shaheen 44
Hassan 43
Kaine 40
Rosen 34
Durbin 29
CCM 28
So, all 8 are to the right of the median Senate Democrat.
