You spineless, pathetic coward. I cannot believe my senator, for whom I've previously had so much respect, caved to the Republicans over a shutdown that was widely regarded as more damaging to them than us. And all for a promise to schedule a vote on the ACA subsidies. Not to actually pass them, mind you, just a vote. Thank you, Senator, for letting your constituents know exactly when your Republican colleagues will vote "no" I am beyond furious with you personally and the other seven of you who broke ranks and voted with the Republicans. You keep acting like this time they'll play ball, and then every time you act shocked when they pull a Lucy and pull the football away. If this is how you all decide to play ball, then we deserve to fall to fascism. Disgusting.
