The "at least they got CHIP" contingent has to be the greatest group of morons on earth. I look forward to the day when democrats accept ending social security in exchange for Republicans not passing the "child of the poor to serve as blood bags for Peter Thiel act" of 2021.

and then republicans pass that anyway

I look forward to the day when democrats accept ending social security in exchange for Republicans not passing the "child of the poor to serve as blood bags for Peter Thiel act" of 2021. It is democrats.txt to have two issues where over 80% of the population side with you over republicans fall in your laps and then manage to transform that into more tax cuts and less oversight into intelligence spending.

These idiots complain about Republican intransigence, but that intransigence is the 100% smart thing to do when you know that your opponent's one move is to always give in and collaborate.

turns out authoritarian tendencies actually aren’t just the GOP’s domain

It is also amazing that the people defending the democrats don't see the basic recursive logic of their defenses. It's a recursive cycle of justifying giving in.
It's like the Fibonacci sequence of suck: things are good because while they are worse, they are not as bad as they will be soon.

I am deeply concerned about the plight of immigrants, unless i'm busy or don't feel like helping and then those uppity minorities should be quiet and vote for me

probably not. I'm a big negative on how today went but I don't think it'll affect 2018 too much. at absolutely utterly worst, democrats hold neutral

I think people are vastly underestimating just how much of the country is in abject horror at Trump and his government, and just how many people went "well Jesus Christ if Mother sucked enough at this I guess I have to do it myself if I want it done right"

Well yeah, there's probably going to be a wave regardless, but if this is all a reaction to Trump, then it's not sustainable, and if the Democrats that get elected are as useless as Schumer, then they're not going to enact policies that will be sustainable (if they get to enact anything at all!)

You're hoping that there's both a wave AND that actually-good people get elected in it, which is an if piled on top of another if.

I’m even ok with modernizing immigration laws and making some changes that can be perceived as harsh in an effort to build a true safety net. but I’m not on board with ‘papers please’ and the resulting mass deportation humanitarian crises Democrats seem to be a-ok with. gently caress this gay earth.
