General Discussion

It's bad. It was a bad decision that gives political energy to the other side.
WHY was it done?
Because constituencies DEMOCRATS CARE ABOUT, ARE HURTING.

Well, no shit. I'm sorry, I thought that was rather the whole goddamn POINT.

A half dozen, don't-have-to-get-elected-next-year, 'moderate' (see SPINLESS) democrats decided the REPUBLICAN CAUSED PAIN, was just too unfair.

Fuck them. THIS is the 'day they voted for', and the fucking INSTANT that vote has real consequences, that should rightly be held against Trump and his MAGA vandals, these fools decide to let their liberal hearts bleed, to help out not JUST their own voters, who understandably didn't want this pain (I'm IN that group, that's why I voted for Kamala), it's apparently about saving the very fools who VOTED TO STICK THEIR HEADS IN THE FUCKING LEOPARDS MOUTH, because 'no one deserves that'

WELL, Fuck ALL OF THAT.

This, literally, is defeat from the jaws of victory. It would have taken maybe 10 more days, and the senate gop caucus would have destroyed itself trying to find a way OUT.
Instead, here's a roadmap and oh by the way please please PLEASE remember to not kick us in the head as a thank you.
Oh...oh OUR VOTERS? hahahaha OUR VOTERS? We know THEYRE not gonna punish us for doing this...WE SAVED THEM, they'll understand.

Durbin can get bent. The rest can all retire afaic I'd RATHER run open primaries in those districts AND LOSE, BECAUSE HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT THAT WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

Yes, faces are BEING EATEN. That's the whole fucking POINT of voting FOR the face eating leopards.
Dems couldn't handle the screaming, so dragged the leopard off.

So now, it can eat OUR FACE for thanksgiving.
Because it's not, NOT HUNGRY ANYMORE, I promise that.
