4. Are talking points right wing, if they come from a right wing rag?

The Hill again:

Let's talk about where the bear shits in the buckwheat. Whoever decided, whether they be moderates or progressives, to pass the CR back in March gave Krasnov everything he wanted and now after the Bill was passed that gutted our social safety net Democrat's efforts got a hell of a lot harder, trying to undo a Bill, good fucking luck with that.

The time to fight, the time to shut down the government until Democrats got protections for our social safety net was last March.

Biggest political blunder I have seen in my lifetime. I am 78 years old and I can weather storm that is coming. My daughter has been planning for years not to have Social Security or Medicare.

The fucking article from the right wing rag The Hill does nothing more than pit Progressive and Moderate Democrats against one another.

Back in March the vast majority of Democrats were opposed to passing the CR, only a handful of Senate Democrats kneecapped the majority. That is just a fact. Chuck Schumer told Chris Hayes what his strategy was, (I heard him say it) By giving Krasnov his CR he will burn it all down and then we win the election. Well, Krasnov is burning down our social safety net, it doesn't look so good now, after the fact.

GOTV if we have elections.
