20. Don't apologize

A lot of us are pissed, and for the right reason. I would rather democratic leadership had not yanked our chain for weeks now, acting like they cared enough to put up a fight, just to extract no concessions, and then roll over.

I’m more pissed at this point about the drama. I’m pissed that they act shocked that Trump and the republicans would weaponize SNAP.

I’m less pissed about the result, but more of the theater. Was this just about winning the Virginia governors race and the impact this had on federal workers? Because that’s pretty short sighted.

It’s a great way to further destroy people’s confidence in the party. Most people won’t know the details and simply chalk this up to simply “playing politics”.
