Sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees. Hasn't this past election showed us anything? Screw the political soapbox, real people through no fault of their own were getting hurt here and now. I'm not making excuses for any of the eight, primary them at your leisure, but it's easy to make a stand when you don't have to worry about feeding your kids tomorrow. Look, what's done is done. When the ACA is voted down, and it will be, who do you think people are going to blame? Not the Democrats. I predict that we are going to win everything in 26, so stop all the GD chicken-littling.

LAWRENCE on! WHAT did Dems accomplish? [View all] elleng Nov 2025 OP

Listen to him. Republicans caved not Democrats. Srkdqltr Nov 2025 #1

HE'S RIGHT. ancianita Nov 2025 #18

They killed the ACA. Demsrule86 Nov 2025 #50

He's giving an alternative perspective on the "deal" - Republicans "caved" spooky3 Nov 2025 #2

He also said that John Glenn was the 1st person to orbit the earth Layzeebeaver Nov 2025 #38

John Glenn was not the first person to orbit the earth! Layzeebeaver Nov 2025 #39

We lost healthcare... likely forever. Demsrule86 Nov 2025 #51

They did not get SNAP increased. choie Nov 2025 #3

Got current payment levels restored. Whether that matters enough depends one's perspective. Silent Type Nov 2025 #10

increased BACK to what is already mandated by law, Jack Valentino Nov 2025 #29

It was fully restored and guaranteed through September of 2026. That's a big deal. SunSeeker Nov 2025 #35

SNAP was always going to be avialable through September 30, 2026. choie Nov 2025 #48

Wrong. SNAP ran out of money Nov. 1. SunSeeker Nov 2025 #53

That was due to the shutdown. choie Nov 2025 #55

In past shutdowns, SNAP was always paid out of emergency funds. Not this time. SunSeeker Nov 2025 #57

I used to like Lawrence, but he now takes the easy path to popularity - just tells the base what they want to hear. Midwestern Democrat Nov 2025 #40

Tell it to the sick people who won't be able to afford healthcare. One DUer says this will Scrivener7 Nov 2025 #14

sweet! did they also accomplish the thing that was their goal they told us about for the last 40 days? Takket Nov 2025 #19

Lawrence's show is excellent. He said the same thing I said, that a few Democrats doesn't mean the whole party. betsuni Nov 2025 #37

I think his show is decent, but I'm not sure what position they abandoned? Ilikepurple Nov 2025 #42

The one thing they wanted the most, they caved and let go. lees1975 Nov 2025 #30

It feels like an outright gaslighting campaign fujiyamasan Nov 2025 #47
