12. I can read it and usually I'd be getting myself a hide or two---

Monday

but there is no need for me to add anything to the current outrage---

I just think that our outrage is better directed against the Nazi Republicans,
than against those Democrats who may have 'cared too much'
about the pain being suffered by some of our own supporters---
particularly SNAP recipients and those working without pay---

and they should have held out for another week or two---

BUT--- using up energy attacking them (beyond tonight for those who must)
will not help us in this ongoing fight!

The "circular firing squad" does not help our party OR the American people, [View all] Jack Valentino Monday OP

Like to believe they did it for right/valid reasons. Agree, they didn't do it to purposely hurt the vulnerable Silent Type Monday #1

It's not circular if you're firing back at the people who fired on you. JHB Monday #2

It's never called "circular firing squad" when "centrists" fire shots at Democrats to their left JHB Monday #19

I totally agree with you. The worst thing we can do is divide the party over this. Democrats will keep Vinca Monday #48

Didn't the eight divide the party, by voting against the majority? muriel_volestrangler Monday #56

Guess I missed the referendum where Democrats took a vote. I imagine it's more likely split 50/50 on the issue. Vinca Monday #63

That's true, but unless we change, it will happen again. NT Happy Hoosier Monday #50
