I just don't understand why anyone would make a deal with terrorists unless they don't understand that they are terrorists.

But here we are, Biden apparently is negotiating with the GOP without concerned for the president he is setting.

Raw Story www.rawstory.com/...

Biden himself has said that he sees a bipartisan deal as the only option to the current standoff, casting doubt on the 14th Amendment as workable in public remarks. But the private resistance being registered by his aides has frustrated progressives who worry the president is too readily giving up his leverage. It also threatens to fracture months of party unity behind Biden’s debt ceiling strategy, exposing the White House to increasingly vocal criticism just as it enters the final stage of its high-stakes standoff with the GOP.

WTF?!?!?

I dispise this bipartisan bullshit. It's as if everything is back to normal, look, it's 1986 again. Ignore the fact that facisisim has taken over the GOP, let's make deals with them. And of course progressives are supposed to eat it and vote the party line.

I am pretty disappointed, and that doesn't even come close to my feelings about the drilling permits in Alaska a few weeks ago. I just feel like progressives like myself being taken for granted because obviously I don't have a choice but to vote for this shit yet again in '24.

Disappointed is an understatement.
