Democrats are sending the wrong message

Regarding the shutdown.

Republicans have changed the rules before to get what they wanted.

60 votes haven't heard mattered to them before...why should it matter to them now?

Why are they suddenly afraid, as the party in charge, of actually governing?

Democrats should be pounding that point home...

I would love to see a study on the effects of this constant barrage of negativity from people who claim to be on the left. I'd bet dollars to donuts that this negativity negatively affects voter turnout.

And too you have the Kochs and the Mercers spending billions of dollars to promote similar negative messages. Are they trying to "help" Democratic messaging too?
