Dmitry Borodaenko<p>Today is a good day to spot unserious people.</p><p>Yesterday, demanding that <a href="https://mastodon.circle.lt/tags/Democrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Democrats</span></a> filibuster the <a href="https://mastodon.circle.lt/tags/Republican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Republican</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.circle.lt/tags/ContinuingResolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ContinuingResolution</span></a> could be motivated by one of two opposite reasons: 1) pressure the party to unite behind a single tactic; 2) amplify division over the tactics.</p><p>Now that the filibuster didn't happen, ripping into Democrats who refused to do it can only be motivated by reason #2. These are not serious people.</p><p>Serious people are moving on to the next opportunity to unite us.</p>
