Just think about all he could've accomplished without DEI blocking his opportunities

Yet another real life example that the top marginal tax rate is way way too low

Think about buying a car, a fun, stress-free negotiating process that everybody loves. Now imagine that if you don’t buy a car you die and if you buy the wrong car you also die

My retirement plan is to play poker with the leaders of the Senate Democratic caucus

Exactly. Here's what we know they'll do, talk the big talk about how they're waiting for "the big fight" or "the right moment" or some other garbage. Then they'll bombard anyone who's ever submitted an email address to anything with 1000 emails.

The question is, what big fight are they waiting on?

You just know that the media is going to let the GOP get away with passing the buck on affordability while they buried Biden/Harris with it. You can see the headlines about how it's an unfortunate, unforseen thing

Democrats Have to Get Out of a Normal Democracy Mindset By folding in the government shutdown in exchange for virtually nothing, eight Democratic senators aid Trump's authoritarian takeover rather than oppose it

I wrote about the "Appeasement Eight" Senate Democrats getting the party to fold to Trump in the government shutdown, and why it shows that pro-democracy Americans badly need a real opposition party, full of leaders who recognize the United States isn't a normal rule of law democracy anymore.

Depending on voters to remember this in a literal year is ridiculous. Ask voters to remember what Congress and/or Trump did two weeks ago.

Not to mention the percentage of voters that are going to remember this in a literal year from now.

You are correct. I forgot her, I honestly don't know near as much about her.
We all know how spineless Schumer is.
Durbin's the one that infuriates me. ICE is running an insurgency in Chicago, and yet he's doing this. Epitome of cowardice.

Imagine being Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, and all the other senior Senators. You've waited your whole career to be in leadership.
And your career and obituary are going to be led with how you continually caved.

Democrats: Enacted ACA and continually improve it
Republicans: Voted to repeal it and literally have not come up with a healthcare plan better than 90's version of healthcare

Please, show the American people a shred of respect. They aren't that dumb.

ICE is literally snatching people out of cars, courtrooms, schools, and the street, and the Senator from the state is all, "This is fine."

The current Republican Party is a bunch of kids that were bullied and are angry and taking revenge.
The current Democratic Party is a bunch of kids that were bullied and gave in and just give the bully everything every day

And by opening up the government, we'll take all the pressure off them

Dick Durbin is retiring. Why the hell is he caving? He should be on the Don't Give a F*$% plan

What position are the Democrats going to take in January? Assuming that the ACA subsidy vote fails - or that Johnson doesn't even take it up - health care will be off the table. Do the Democrats have a 1) issue that is easy to grok and 2) messengers that they'll allow to explain it?

I mean, even blue collar dudes know you were coats with tuxes. They go to prom and weddings, too.

How would he know? Guarantee he's never filled a car with gas, and I'd bet good money it's been ~30 years since he's actually driven a car himself
