Im surprised at my response

I thought I would be one of those saying, "Don't cave! Don't cave!" But instead I'm feeling like enough suffering and I think we got our point across. I'm fine with the "no cave" senators because they're making an important point. But I'm also fine with the cave senators because there really has been too much suffering. And the point is still being driven home, the Republicans don't care that ACA subsidies will be sky rocketing. We weren't going to get support for the subsidies. They were never going to vote for them. I call it a win, even though subsidies will be sky rocketing. But also, immigrants are still going to be terrorized, corruption is still rampant, the ballroom is still being built, small boats are still being blown up. It's all awful. But at least SNAP will be restored and the courts will be back in full force.
