re: #230 Gus 802

Because the Republican Party is playing hardball with them

i don’t think it is nearly as polite as hardball

i’ve said for years that the democratic party will never be able to compete with the game the republicans are playing until they are willing to lie as much as they’ve been doing for the past 30 years, and now we see the ante upped to where they’d have to be as willing to destroy the country just to get what they want

and the democrats will never do that, so they will always lose

i think the koch bros et al are perfectly willing to utterly destroy the american economy for a decade, since the outcome would be an american workforce of beat, whimpering, minimum wage workers with no pensions, health care, collective bargaining rights and no prospect of real upward mobility

and they are succeeding

prepare to whimper
