Still processing the inanity of this cave, like, "We're going to make Republicans go on record that they want to destroy the ACA." You mean the motherfuckers who radicalized in opposition to it & voted to repeal it, like, 22 times? You're finally getting them on record? Really impressed over here
“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”
Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

Adam Corolla is the textbook example of why divorce protections are important for nonworking spouses - he used to brag routinely on his show about how his wife didn't have to work because he earned so much. It was a point of pride for him that she quit her job when they got married.

Well, you can, but it would basically require careful waves of mass defections to essentially "replace" one of the two existing parties and at that point you might as well directly hijack the party instead.
you cannot create a viable third party without changing the constitution.
to change the constitution, you need control of one of the major political parties, at minimum.
anyone refusing to accept this is a fucking child i'm tired of entertaining.

Sorry for the popularist brain but it's a major political problem that Dems are the Party of Federal Workers because, frankly, the rest of the country doesn't view their interests as particularly important.
Tim Kaine on backlash he's getting: "I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct 1, b/c I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed fed worker would say to me at church, or what somebody would say about SNAP"

I propose we make Donald J Trump work on camera as an air traffic controller for one (1) day and see what happens.
The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

The Democrats should ask the Republicans what happens when you scream about how these are unprecedented times but then ignore your base's demands to grind everything to a halt to stop the unprecedented times.
weirdly honest messaging from the breakaway mod/institutionalist leaders who blew up the party strategy
they're explicitly giving up. "It wasn't working so we quit" that's the message

Funniest thing about the shutdown arc is the Democratic strategy made no sense, but was totally working thanks to the tireless efforts of Donald J Trump.

Yeah, this is what I said on October 3, two days into the shutdown. It was the wrong issue. But once they made it the issue (*successfully*, I might add - hence Republicans hurriedly inventing fake ACA alternatives) they had to stick to it.
