The Seven Lying Democrats That Betrayed Democracy, and Joined GOP on HR 368 to Deny Vote on Clean CR

138. You fail to cite one falsehood, despite paragraphs of trying.

My reply was accurate. I did not "mock" GG, I pointed out his theory--and your assertions --were wrong.

I genuinely was trying to figure out why these 7 would vote this way. I received some insightful answers by others on the thread, namely that these 7 were in vulnerable red/purple districts. They feared a challenge from the right at home and Pelosi probably released them to vote this way since the measure was going to pass regardless. The problem with vulnerable Dems is that if they vote with progressives, the progressives among us do not reward them with campaign contributions the way the Tea Party GOP rewards their favorites like Cruz. Cruz raked in $1M in the last month.

I am not your enemy. I agree we need to get corporate money out of politics. It should be illegal for corporations to make political donations. They are not people.

But until we get a Dem House majority back and a filibuster proof majority in the Senate, you can forget campaign finance reform.

We need to stand together against the GOP. The GOP is the enemy, not Dems. We need to make sure every American understands that. This is the GOP's shutdown. When you say stuff like...

"There's a reason this country is in crisis now. Republicans have long been trying to loot the country like this. The difference now is that corporate Democrats have seized control of our Party and are no longer choosing to stand in the way."

...you are suggesting that Congressional Dems are on board with the GOP on the defund ACA bullshit. That is just not true. That is why we have a shutdown. The Dems are standing strong against the GOP. And because of that, the GOP is pushing us toward default.

Your anger is misplaced. It needs to be directed to the GOP. That is how we are going to get our House majority back.
