Negotiation is when Parties A and B both actually want $0 trillion, and agree that Party B should take the blame/credit for that outcome.

Your tweet implies that the democrats wanted to actually pass the bill in the first place…this whole game they are playing is nothing new

This is the bullshit that we’re up against, and it seems to be just fucking everywhere. Even off social media, all I basically get is ‘Dems never really wanted it at all’ both sides same thing bullshit, with the perfect frame to cast Dems as the real villains, the real puppetmasters of the sideshow.

And I don’t know how to pierce through the immense amount of bullshit it is. I keep seeing people who seemed so formerly reasonable go further and further down this line, even worse than the ‘Bern It Down’ bullshit last year.
