Huh, I never thought they’d actually grow a spine.

If they win this game of chicken I will be impressed.

    When democrats do bad things: "they're just like Republicans except worse"

    When democrats do nothing: "they're all neoliberal controlled opposition"

    When democrats actively do good things: "never thought they'd have the spine for this"

    When Republicans do nothing but solidly evil shit for 50 years in a row: "meh, they're Republicans. Democrats aren't much better"

    Yeah that is the reaction, and if they’d do actively good things more often maybe it wouldn’t be a surprise?

    I can't say I was surprised by this story. These kinds of things actually aren't uncommon for Democrats. Since even though a lot of them suck, even those sucky ones know that seeming like a decent human is good for them personally. This is how politics used to work. But sure let's just keep on both sidesing this shit ad nauseum
