The Leopards-Eating-Faces party may not have won, but we will not forget who offered our faces up as bargaining chips; and you shouldn't, either.

Stevens can make whatever political choices she wants, but Black voters are not props. Our communities are not political bargaining chips.

Oh, the national disgrace’s restrictions on collective bargaining???
JUST IN: Democrats have won control of the state government of Wisconsin.

For the first time since 2010.

They have flipped the state Senate & flipped the state House, and kept the governorship. Among the thingS they're likely to do: repeal Scott Walker's restrictions on collective bargainins.

Redrawing Texas may just be what brings republicans to the bargaining table on gerrymander reform. It would be huge
WOW: Texas Democrats could gain FULL control over state government.

Forget blocking new gerrymanders if that happens, they could *replace* the GOP's maps entirely, massively expand voting access, and take control over election administration in the biggest Trump state
I am jaw-dropped.

Democrats are leading in enough seats at the moment to flip the Texas state Senate.

He's at Bargaining, but will cycle through Anger & Denial as well.
The president appears to be conceding defeat on behalf of his party.

Chet Culver should have never vetoed the public bargaining collective bargaining agreement.

This is what is called “the bargaining stage of grief”

"We will have learned something just PLEASE don't make us face consequences" is perfect bargaining.

he's on to 'bargaining' which means 'depression' is up next and hopefully we can make it to 'acceptance' by the end of the week.

It's amazing how Google has reduced their most successful and profitable product to a mere bargaining chip to force adoption of a new product they haven't even figured out how to make any money from people using

Public service pay offers:

• First offer: 5.75% over 30 months.
• Revised: 6.75% over 30 months, plus 1% through local bargaining.
• Previous agreement: 9.25% over a similar period.

Even including local bargaining, the revised offer is 1.5 percentage points lower.

Not a serious offer

The fascist are free to come to the bargaining table, as they have been asked to for years.

i guess this is the bargaining stage

That'll get Iran to the bargaining table. LOL.

America, creating an entire new generation of terrorists.

Never give conservatives an inch. Never give them a centimeter. No concessions, no bargaining, no common ground. History will vindicate freedom and usher their annihilation as a political force. It just does its zig-zags.

Trump has entered the bargaining stage.
Trump: "We'll work with the Democrats and we'll look forward to working with them. We'll probably work something out."
