Interesting maneuver by Schumer and Co. We'll see where it goes - the first shot at Democratic resistance efforts. Kabuki theater.

Government employees like shutdowns. They get to stay home and get paid retroactively.

The Democratic Party is dead.

They abandoned the working class, they abandoned their base and they are controlled by corporate whores.

The revolution will come from somewhere else.

Not dead, although they yielded too much to the internationalists.

Go with the lie propagated by the GOP so wanting to believe anything negative about the Dems. The Left never abandoned anybody, just refused to lie to them, telling the coal miners the jobs are gone, time to retrain. Same with steel, time to move into renewable energy conservation. Issues and concepts hard to accomplish let along put into a thirty second ad effectively.

Six months from now the Dems will look pretty good after SS Medicare Post Office National Parks ect.... have been looted I mean Privatized! Work rules changed to the determent thus harming employees greatly.

The Democrats of today are not the left.

They are corporate whores just like the Republicans.

The left were the Bernie Sanders people.

Most of them are like me.

Done with the Democrats.

You're admitting to having the emotional maturity and political awareness of a 19 year-old barista. On that, we agree.

Perhaps a 19 year old Barista may have a better handle on what's going on than a conceited old fart with a ramrod up his butt and a terminal case of tunnel vision.

Only in your fevered mind. Up is down, down is up.

I will take an 19 year old barista over an over the hill waitress pouring weak coffee endlessly, and if she is cute, I might even order a $5 latte.

Finn's an arrogant elitist snob.

He would look down his nose at both of them.
