50. Ok, what was winning?

Nov 2025

I would argue that the only winning for us was showing the American populace that we were willing to fight for this like no one had ever fought for something during a shutdown.
We did that.
A historically long effort.
I did not expect in any way that the republican party was going to cave in.
They do not give a fuck.
Do you agree with that?
If you can argue that giving people health care is more important than feeding people and paying people please do so.
Cause it all kinda seems the same shit.
I certainly cant argue the opposite is in any way good.
