Happening was this-those who were enraged because the GOP gave us nothing-not even a vote (and they are coming for us in January over abortion laws) secretly. And we thought maybe our leaders should have had our backs and not planned to take away folks healthcare possibly for decades. It was wrong bad policy. Anyone could have seen it wouldn't work.

Well we were attacked in multiple posts and told we didn’t care about suffering. Some even said this was great deal and would help with the midterm. And that is total bullshit. People who came out in 25 could simply give up and it sit it out. We didn’t convince our folks that was devastating.,They know.
