And something else, too: nobody bothers to point out that the very ACA - its very SELF - is a freakin' compromise!!! In and of ITSELF!!! The whole damn thing!!!!

Remember when it was in formation and we were all debating it - and everybody everywhere was debating it? And how so many of us wanted single-payer or at least the public option? And we all eventually gave in and people like fucking Ben Nelson had to be appeased by delays and modifications of all kinds? And remember when most of us held our noses and cheered what they all finally settled on? WE ALREADY COMPROMISED UP THE YING-YANG!!!

We need to rub this in their noses and talk over them and yell louder than they do and throw a shitstorm. Look how far it's gotten the bad guys? Our side really needs to muscle up!
