Apparently

it depends on the context, i could just actually be wishing you a good day. if you want me to go away, stop replying?

Someone keeps replying🤷‍♂️

He's the minority leader and his whip voted with the 8.

He actually did. But thanks for the not so subtle antisemitism accusation.

Just twice, and sincerely - not haughtily.

He was the one who got the 8 to vote for cloture. He voted no for "optics"

Got it. Found the zionist. Have a good day.

Are you a bot? I named my rep. Vindman. And in the senate, it's Kaine and Warner. I don't owe you anything.

Yes. I've been on SNAP. I've had to budget a month of groceries on 137 dollars. I've had to weigh that horrible choice of eating or heating in winter and it's not something I would wish on anyone. I went without both. It was 45's choice to not use contingency money to continue funding SNAP.

i'm not angry because of "vibes". i suspect you'll gleefully celebrate your victory points as i do not wish to continue.. whatever this is. another man crushed under your unrelenting boot. regardless, i hope to impart that ⬅️ists are not blue maga troglodytes. ✌️ hope your season is merry and bright.

fwiw, if i'm angry at democrats for falling short - i am apoplectic that some republicans are bowing out after voting for disastrous and harmful cruelty. that their last stand is to resign. why were they afraid of being primaried in the first place? why not vote 'no'.

why do you keep asking about who? i presume you're as abreast of the news as I am. we know who. why is it an indictment on me that I'm not reciting the names?

and again on ending the shutdown. Americans endured 43 days of suffering for nothing. all for an empty promise about bringing ACA subsidies to the floor. defeat from the jaws of victory, over and over again. it's hard not to be mad, or at least *upset* that this is our opposition party.

establishment dems have run counter to their voters on a myriad of issues, not least of which concerns the funding and arming of Israel; and Palestinian liberation. Schumer led the initial cave on the terrible butcher's bill over the summer, after intonating that he would fight.

tell me again how house dems are unified when 23 didn't vote with their party?

yes. optics. demonstrate that dems can stand together and have the guts to fight; and keep doing it. i bet you were falling all over yourself when cory booker stood on the floor for 25 hours, did you feel any chagrin when he had his photo op with netanyahu later? he certainly did.

when did i trash anyone in this entire thread? i don't believe i've hurled a single insult. my anger stems from candidates who are capable of doing *more* but instead opt to fall short, candidates who opt to ignore the will of their voters, so why is your outrage somehow more righteous than mine?

how does a 'yea' vote to impeach serve no one else in this county/state/country but myself? you are making some very wild assumptions about me. do you hear yourself? "If you're lucky, you get some of what you want." that's an insane hot take to have, republicans haven't had to compromise in 10 years

of the two of us, it seems you're far more angry at leftists for wanting better than i am at moderate democrats for wanting less/more of the same. +he wasn't my rep until he won the primary. i'm not asking for perfection, i'm asking for a modicum of representation. that's not a tall order.

don't i have a right to be angry? for once in my life, i want to vote for someone with my full chest, not a tepid "lesser evil" maintainer of a system that is fundamentally broken.

Vindman. his entire platform was "going after trump" with no substance because he was the original whistleblower on the extortion call to ukraine.

you don't need to lecture me about that fractious ghoul of a keebler elf.

much to my disappointment, yes. he did. and i voted for someone better in his primary, but he won it and thus got my vote in the general.

Of course I did. And when a cadre dems pulled it down, I was just as angry then as I am now.

Excuse me? I'm specifically referring to the 23 dems that voted no to impeach. I'm pretty sure I was direct here.

It costs them nothing to have voted in favor of impeachment, even if it fails. Instead, all I see are 23 more Manchins.

If they stood for *anything*, I would celebrate. I wouldn't be accused of purity testing for wanting more from my candidates because they would have stepped up and met the very low bar.

As much as I love Goggins as a character actor, I would be remiss not to mention Brad Douriff who does not get the accolade he deserves.

So that's an excuse not to vote in solidarity? To stand on principle? Or are they saving their own skin, appeasing a donor class that does not want social reform? It's not an empty gesture to fight. Rs would have no compunctions voting unanimously to impeach, even if they didn't have the votes.
