I cannot stress this enough, but ABSOLUTELY YES. We have a political environment which is so ridden with outright garbage bills loaded with ideological trash that make no attempt to actually pursue the good of the country, countless poison pill bills, and countless bills which are done, it seems, with the largest intent being to spite the other side and/or ignore their interests - and these bills get passed. So yes, when another one of any number of utter garbage bills hits the floor and it doesn't get passed because the side that could easily pass it steps back and says "hey guys, I know this is our bill, and I know 'fuck Obama,' but this bill sucks... Let's not vote for it." THAT is worthy of applause.
You people spent most of the last presidency complaining that Obama was being blocked at every turn and now that he's gone the greatest legacy of his presidency was on the block - and the other side, rather than axing it just because "fuck Obama!" looked at their own bill, found it wanting, and voted it down - and now all you can do and laugh at how incompetent they are rather than applaud them for not voting along party lines. The ACA isn't gone because they proved to be less partisan than you people are proving to be - simple as that... And all you can do is laugh at people who took a step beyond what you seem capable of doing - for the good of America, rather than their party.
You people are truly showing yourselves to be part and parcel to the partisan tumor that's rotting our political process every way you look at it. If you take this opportunity to do nothing but mock the other side along the lines you are, and don't applaud an act of non-partisan voting that we *desperately* need, then you are an utter hypocrite if you complain about partisanship in politics in months to come. You're making this bed, partisan hacks. Own it.
