I find the gloating over the AHCA withdrawal unattractive

88. There have been literally hundreds of thousands (millions total)

who have become "activists" (some literally daily) in their localities - either at protest marches, sit-ins, or town halls, as well as corresponding with their representatives (via phone, email, snail mail). Just today, there were many protestors here in Philly who counter-protested a pro-Drumpf march, both at a rally point across from Independence Hall, and later along what ended up being a truncated parade route.

I think what you call "gloating" is more of a collective "cheer" for a good outcome (for now) thanks to all the dedicated people who have actually showed us that what they (we) have done CAN make a difference. And notably it was mentioned here on the Philly news that several swing-district Rs in PA & Jersey were slated to vote "no", apparently due to the constituents demanding that they not have people lose coverage, especially Medicaid (vs the teabaggers who wanted the bill to literally eliminate the ACA completely and would vote no because it didn't).

So give the warriors their due -
