The capitulation of Senate Democrats in ending the government shutdown without healthcare concessions has sparked outrage. Calls for new leadership and primary challenges are growing. The fight for a Democratic Party that truly fights back continues.

    Really don’t know how you have time to comment with all the boots you seem to be licking.

      I genuinely don’t know how that makes any sense in response to what I just said.

      I’m over here fucking despairing about being betrayed AGAIN by the group that’s supposed to be NOT Nazis, having my life fucked in another new and novel way, and I’m licking boots? Whose fucking boots am I licking?

      Make that bullshit accusation make sense.

          Between that and their apparent desire to try to kick obviously hurting people when they are down, maybe they ought run for office themselves. Would fit right in.

          Again, justify that accusation. You don’t know a thing about me. I’ll give you some information you don’t deserve, and the only thing I want to see in response is either an apology or a real argument explaining what your problem actually is.

          I am married to someone who has an autoimmune issue. Health insurance for my family is mandatory. I get that insurance for her through a job I hate so much I fantasize about getting into a wreck on the way into work because then I wouldn’t have to go. Together we developed a plan that would allow me to do a career change that would allow me to switch careers into something that DOESN’T make me dread damn near every waking moment. A plan that relied on the ACA as an insurance stopgap. That just got taken away. Stolen away. Given to Nazis in exchange for NOTHING.

          What about that sounds like “bootlicking” to you? What makes it so unbelievable that I might be upset? Explain yourself, apologize, or just have the decency to stop responding altogether.

          Edit: Initial draft was uncivil. Cleaned the language up some, not entirely, while maintaining the substance of the initial response.

          How delusional do you have to be to think that electing more spineless Democrats has anything to do with fighting back?
