    Everyone already knows all the republicans supported it; anything under their jurisdiction is already a lost cause. What I want to know is how many people from the “left” party can’t even keep their own votes on the right side of history. It’s not news when villains are villains - it’s news when the people who say they’re here to fight back against the villains are caught supporting them, and it’s important not to drown out that important detail among a bunch of already-known regressives. People need to see that the current democratic party isn’t a viable defense against conservativism, and that we need to do something more to get things moving in the right direction again than simply trusting democrats to fix everything.

                    If it were bait to engage you, wouldn’t you have just given me exactly what i wanted?

                    Since you asked, I do in fact enjoy telling folks like you (who talk down to others while offering insipid, child-like political takes) off.

                    I hope with every encounter with commenters like yourself, to break thru the crunchy shell of ignorance. When i do, (believe it or not) my wish is to help. Help them see themselves for just one moment in the mirror. Understand, briefly the damage to political commentary they cause.

                    Now let’s be real. Today isn’t that day for you. But yeah, I’ve said what i came to say
