(4,188 posts)Perfect of example of how we Democrats end up as chronic losers. Which of these is the best example of the so-called current spirit of bipartisanship?
1. Closed door health care meetings excluding Democrats? Dropping health care for millions and giving nearly a billion dollars in tax breaks to the super wealthy.
2. Stealing Merrick Garland's Supreme Court seat? Depriving the country of any chance of progressive law for decades to come.
3. Colluding with the Russians to swing the 2016 election to the Supreme Leader of Bullshit Mountain? Giving us such bipartisan luminaries as Betsy DeVos, Scott Pruitt, Steve Mnuchin, Jared and Ivana, and Jefferson Beauregard Sessions.
4. Undoing every single Progressive success that the last real President of the United States implemented? Reversing 8 years of efforts on behalf of middle class Americans. Shifting more of the tax burden to the poor and the middle class.
5. Gutting the Dodd-Frank consumer protections? Paving the way for the next taxpayer funded bailout when the Wall Street banksters and Trump's Goldman Sachs boardroom, er cabinet, members get their coveted license to steal.
Hopefully you get the point. So please listen up "Democratic source," this "we just want to get along" surrender-monkey mentality is why so many of us progressives and liberals don't think you give a shit about prioritizing the needs of your constituency. Find me an example of a significant portion of the Progressive base that gives a tinker's damn about bipartisanship. This is a battle against tyranny. House Whip Scalise is apparently going to be fine. He will be right back shilling for the Koch brothers and the NRA before you know it and will be a martyr on Breitbart and at the alt-right alter. Don't get sucked in by Mitch McConnell. He's a lying, two-faced slimeball that stands out even according to lying two-face slimeball Washington, D.C. standards.
