          it was theater and they’re getting better at it.

          i would say remember this when they justify it to their base by saying that they’ll pass the legislation after the next “blue wave” so that they can say they’ll reverse the damage that this capitulation will cause; but every time the democrats have had a majority and tried to fix healthcare, they found an excuse to prevent them from doing so and democrat voters are surprised each time it happens anyways.

          the truly crazy part is that they’ll insist on voting for those same democrats anyways using self-reinforcing propaganda like “two party system” or “first past the post” or “throwing your vote away” and that will lead us back into the same situation again in the future.
