Last time this came up, I was told that a mod needs to be PM'ed. If no one complains they let it stay.

I wonder the same about backseat modding like this post

Remember the celebration after the house bill was delayed?

What is being explained (or not explained by you) is how it is counterproductive. That is why I quoted you.
Tension is already there. Similar to what you said, I'm not condoning someone to commit suicide. But I'm not going to lecture someone on how they are not being productive by posting on a forum about their true feelings as if it is taking away from them calling up their senator.
perfect
Let me just make sure I'm understanding you. You're saying you're not able to separate the two actions and recognize which is productive and which is not? You don't think there is unnecessary tension added to a conflict when people are condoning and encouraging the other party to kill themselves and commit suicide?
Just so we're on the same page

No, but what you are saying is that you are unable to separate the intent and impact of actions and would group posting an aggressive message on a forum with calling up a senator.
People posting memes and images in this thread aren't doing so to be productive; they are interacting with an online community that they feel comfortable sharing a joke with or venting.
By your logic every post that doesn't have a direct outcome, to eliminating the GOP bill, would be counterproductive. But people don't come into every thread to deliver a solution.
Lol. Spineless Republicans. SPINELESS.

Reposting because the fight's only begun:
My topic on local resistence
My topic on the AHCA specifically
This is great news and senators need their phones to smoke and for the outside of their offices (Democratic and Republican) to be a cacophony of pissed of citizens against this hellish legislation. Call, Email, Snail Mail and Attend Recess resistence events. Make this delay a death sentence for the bill and the GOP's sickening machinations. Don't let up, don't rest. If your senator is a Democrat, make your talking points about encouraging them to jump on single layer/universal health; an actually welcome, progressive and humanitarian form of healthcare. Do not just sigh relief and stop paying attention. Continue to watch the political world like a hawk. Get involved and ready to vote.
Damn. I can't even get across how much I empathize, brother. This disease is fucked and frightening and shit like this only works to aggravate it. I hate being despised by people for something out of my control.

I think your strong language and emotions are justified but I argue that you do not promote violence.
I just said in my last post that they're separate things. One impacts a conflict negatively and one positively. One incites violence, one actually helps the current shit situation we're in. And seeing that we're spinning in circles now I think agree to disagree is the best we're gunna do here.
Also there's a difference between venting and joking, and inciting violence. Come on

Right, but the plan was to put the Senate bill to a vote in the House as-is, no more "fixing" it.

Playing all the bases so that everyone will love him and to never be held accountable for anything.
Turns out it doesn't actually matter to him if it passes or not.

Right? It's just fucking noncommittal nonsense that can only sound Presidential if you've drowned your brain in Fox News. What I'm really frustrated about though is that the GOP themselves should be the ones rippping him apart for throwing them to the wolves when hes essentially sanctioned them go fuck the ACA in the first place all the way back to the campaign trail. But all of them are just as chickenshit and pathetic.
Maybe being truly scared shitless of their constituents is the wake up call the GOP needs.
Yeah. For being admirers of strong & manly personalities, they sure lack spines themselves.

All aboard! The Love train!
Trump doesn't even know and doesn't care enough to know what's in the bill. He distances himself from responsibility through pure ignorance and blaming McConnell for failing to round up the votes for his legislation. He did the same thing to Ryan, throwing him under the bus when the AHCA had to get pulled from the house.

Ironically, I feel that this bill would have had a way better chance of passing if Pence were president. Oh well, continue tying yourselves to your sinking ship GOP!

It sounds like she's just using the "he's new at this" excuse.
He doesn't want to look like a loser.
That's how it sounds to me. A kind of "we're concerned he's a shithead."

I don't think that's going to happen, but sure, it's worth reminding people though.

So are we again mostly saved by people who think this law doesn't fuck poor people hard enough ? I mean don't get me wrong it's enjoyable but I can't help but feel something might eventually pass and it might be more to the right than it is currently . Are they having that much trouble from the 'left'
of the Republican Party?
lol
Yeah, I highly doubt shitstain Cory Gardner is gonna show up in an actual town hall meeting in 2017.
