(773 posts)response. It's very frustrating I had a great federal contracting job which was a remote job I was employed for 3 and half years up until April when DOGE axed the contract for the company I worked for. It was very bittersweet because the job I had was one I truly enjoyed and loved and it was the best job I had in my adult life from a satisfaction point of view. I loved going to work everyday and interacting with my colleagues in meetings. We had a great work culture going on in the department of the government I was contracted for. On top of that before Trump won the election back in early 2024 my company announced that they had renewed their contract with government for the next 6 years. We were going to have guaranteed employment for 6 years until DOGE and the Orange bastard took it away.
This is why I'm very hard on the Democrats caving. I have been personally affected by their caving twice this year. First with losing my employment and now I'm on the verge of losing my insurance. This is why I'm not willing to compromise with some of these DUers who are supporting this move by the Democrats. It's easy for them to say this is a good move when they haven't been affected by it.
On top of that I voted for Kamala even though she wasn't my number 1 choice. I have also voted Democrats for my whole entire life starting with Kerry in '04. So nobody can say in here I deserve what is happening to me. I'm tired of having to make sacrifices and not getting any respect back from the Democrats.
After this experience I have had I don't ever want to hear about this bipartisan compromise bs anymore. I'm done with it. Whatever Democrat I support I need to know from them they are going to be hard ass when it comes to negotiations.
On a sidenote fuck MAGA since I don't see them as people anymore after they cheered for people like me to lose my job with the government.
