    The same voters who increasingly blamed the Dems for the shutdown as it’s dragged on?

    I suppose we’ll see if capitulation makes them more popular.

    I’m sorry that you live in a fantasy land instead of the real world.

    Says the guy who is trying to convince people that capitulation is a good thing after the party was rewarded for standing its ground.

      Is it that you can’t parse what I’m saying, and thus have no choice but to fill in the blanks with fantasy; or is it that you find it more satisfying to tilt against windmills?

        I’m not buying your pro-capitulation bullshit. None of it. Democrats were more steadfast in their support of netanyahu’s genocide than they have ever been about healthcare.

          I don’t support the 8 Dems who broke ranks, but that’s fucking different from pretending that this was a popular shutdown.

          Sorry, was that too far back for you to remember?

          Democrats were more steadfast in their support of netanyahu’s genocide than they have ever been about healthcare.

          Where the fuck did I say otherwise?

            No, I just don’t believe you. You claim that you don’t support them while supporting them by making excuses for them. Actions speak louder.

            Where the fuck did I say otherwise?

            Oh. I see. You’re defending useless democrats because they were more steadfast in support of genocide than they are for healthcare.

              Lord.

              Actions speak louder.

              … except my only action here has been to write words.

              But I suppose “Words are louder than words” might reveal how intellectually vacuous your entire position is.

              Oh. I see. You’re defending useless democrats because they were more steadfast in support of genocide than they are for healthcare.

              Lord.

                You’re getting nitpicky. But you’re right. Making excuses for the people who capitulated like you wanted them to is words, not actions. Your words excusing them put the lie to your claim that you don’t support them. Excuses are support.

                If you don’t want to be treated as an apologist, don’t engage in apologia.
