The capitulation of Senate Democrats in ending the government shutdown without healthcare concessions has sparked outrage. Calls for new leadership and primary challenges are growing. The fight for a Democratic Party that truly fights back continues.

They've had enough seats to fix these problems plenty of times, but chose not to. They've had majorities twice that I can remember, and spent the entire time building out the systems that the current administration is using.

So once again I ask: How is it helping to have more seats?

Yeah well I disagree, but the alternative is to have less seats. Which we have now.

Is now good? If so, carry on.
