Largish white dude. Not a fan of guns, forced birthers, or anti-vaxxers. Haven’t seen a sane republican since hw bush. And he kinda sucked.
Yggy is quite right here
The power of Fox News isn’t that they push conservative ideas, it’s that they are willing to set any kind of ideological consideration aside at the drop of a hat to boost Republicans regardless of what they do at any given moment.

Conservative criticism, even if bad faith, is treated as legitimate and spurs change. Liberal criticism, even if good faith, is sneered at and dismissed.

The Democrats erred by not forcing Republicans to nuke the filibuster. But there was nothing Democrats could have done to get the ACA subsidies extended, because Republicans control all three branches and strongly believe that only rich people should have access to decent healthcare
You can criticize Senate Democrats for capitulating but Donald Trump and Republicans are the ones destroying the ACA.

a good point to remember. and fuck those 8 senators.
It all sucks! But the people who are your enemies are in the WH, not the people who are just trying to fucking survive. There's nothing wrong with a civil servant being desperate to get back to work and get their backpay. Check your fucking fire.

yggy correct here.
This is what's so aggravating — yes, it was not working in extracting a policy concession but it was working in *driving down trump's numbers and provoking GOP infighting* which is what's important if you take Dem rhetoric about the perils of MAGA remotely seriously.
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

Respectfully, “I decided not to follow through on my threat to ignore the coin-operated lying nazi toy at the nazi bar because the rules of the nazi bar are if I’m rude to the toy, the owner would use that to make me less popular at the Nazi bar” is not actually making this look better for you!
