Honest question: do any people besides bros not mute the clicking of the buttons while texting? Maybe there’s a reason for not muting them that I’m unaware of.

Shame on you. We needed you to stand up for us! Did Tuesday show you nothing? Like the GOP is going to negotiate and save the ACA?! This is the exact reason why the people are leaving the Dem party (and their donations) behind. Good luck, Senator, and thanks for nothing.
