Despite all my rage I am still just a rat on cocaine

I mean, I'm a hardliner on this sort of thing, no bank apps or mobile banking in general, GrapheneOS on the phone, apps via obtanium for the most part and aurora for the work shit, but, I suppose it's not a zero sum game and there's things even I'm not doing right.

You're on fediverse, you know what f-droid is and use it to install apps...

Why are you even on the Play store in the first place? Even for the shit that my work makes me use I have a separate profile on my phone and use aurora store (and even that is a stopgap until I can get a separate work phone).

You're deliberately misreading what I said, and if you think that he didn't know or wasn't part of the negotiation as to exactly who was going to vote to end the shutdown amongst senators who wanted it to end but didn't want their fingerprints on it, I have several pieces of waterfront property for sale. For their part, senators Durbin, King, Hassan, Shaheen, Masto, Rozen, Fetterman and Kaine should not have a place within the Democratic party (Also Manchin, Sinema had she not already fucked off of her own accord).

If you want to be a pedant, there has been no vote on the ACA subsidies other than a failed cloture vote. The vote to re-open the govt passed. The agreement to have a vote on the ACA subsidies was the "compromise" that was the condition of voting to pass the appropriations bill and end the shutdown.

Schumer is neither all-powerful or completely powerless, but he is the leader of his party in the Senate, so he is ultimately responsible for actions taken by Senate democrats. He is either insufficiently committed or insufficiently competent, for the family who's health insurance costs become unaffordable, it doesn't really matter which.

Dems are weak because they can't win elections because they fail to deliver results (because they can't win elections). The shutdown was the only real lever that they were able to pull unilaterally, they picked the right hill to die on, and ultimately accomplished nothing.

My agenda is being able to leave my job for a year to focus on finishing a degree and a couple of professional licenses without completely wiping out what little savings I'm able to scrape together by delaying every other financial goal and for my peers to have an easier time with similar hard choices. Whatever makes that happen, yeah, I'm fine with.

+1 for this

Yep, knew people growing up who were horribly abused and met more later when I lived in Utah. Disgusting stuff.

He caved in exchange for a vote he knew would fail and logrolled the votes so that the I'll informed would think he didnt have a hand in it.

The shutdown was painful, but what comes next will be a lot more painful.
