You say that as though that wasn't going to happen under McCarthy. They had him by the balls as much as they do the new guy.
McCarthy is the one that put through the temporary deal. You think this guy would? McCarthy is a turd, but this guy is diarrhea.
Which is one of the reasons McCarthy got booted. He fucked over the democrats by torpedoing the initial plan, then fucked over the republicans by agreeing to another.
You "compromise" and agree to every regressive policy on the basis of "bi-partisanship" and you get our current situation. Where the Republicans are emboldened to do whatever the fuck they want, cause what are the Democrats going to do? Oppose it?
People are going to suffer either way. The question is if we want a slow decline, or a quick bandage rip and then we start to move on.
The former is how we got into this situation in the first place. The latter is how we'll finally start to see actually progress.
Progress? What the fuck are we supposed to do for the next year? I’ll take the slow decline in hopes we don’t decline as far before the midterms and hopefully taking back the house.
