Rethinking my attitude about AI slop…

Nice try to make it about me. You said what you said and I held up a mirror. Deal with it.

Not the most important point but today's Epstein emails make it clear that Maxwell committed gross perjury in her interview with Todd Blanche, and it will still be within the statute of limitations when President (insert your favorite Dem) takes office in January 2029

Exactly!

Well, sure. But they also are stupid, so there’s that.

Compared to the Republican Cult, the Democratic Party is fantastic and is our only hope of ending this fascist nightmare.
Just trying to help you out!

I didn’t call you a parrot. I just pointed out that saying “the Democratic Party is broken” is a lazy meme that doesn’t really address the complexity of our current situation but is the type of drive-by slur a MAGAT would stoop to and you can do better.

Democrats just saved Republicans, who painted themselves into a toxic political corner, from themselves because they weren’t willing to let others suffer for Republican stupidity.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social I disagree. It’s easy to demand that the fruitless shutdown continue if you haven’t been furloghed for over a month, don’t rely on SNAP subsidies to feed your family, or aren’t among those forced to continue working in a high stress job without pay.

How naive are you to think continuing the shutdown would have forced MAGA Republicans to care?

They gain a bunch
-furloughed employees get backpay
-fired employees get reinstated
-SNAP benefits extended for a year
-Republican forced to own their vote to end ACA subsidies

Easy to say when you aren’t affected

It was worth a try. It’s also important to know when to fish or cut bait

The ACA benefits were due to expire in December automatically. While suffering from the Shutdown, victims may have been unclear who to blame.
By forcing a December vote Democrats force Republican to own their decision.

Not sure you are disagreeing with me

I’m glad you can see the future. I can’t, but I can see Republicans unmoved by all the other problems they’ve caused their own constituents.

Clearly continuing the shutdown wasn’t going to save them.

I’m not saying it wasn’t worth a try, but there comes a time when fishing to cut bait.

The shutdown was never going to save the ACA which will expire in December anyway if the shutdown continues. Democrats have now forced Republican to own it by holding a vote in December.

That the Democratic Party is broken is a MAGA talking point. Don’t be a MAGA talking point parrot.

“Seat” not “sear”

In the current crisis jeopardizing an otherwise secure seat because your untested candidate is “sure” to win is a fool’s errand.
Not every location in the country can be counted on to rally around your candidate the way New Yorkers did for an open sear with demonstrably worse opponents.
