Democrats wobble as pressure to end shutdown ramps up

Senate Democrats are taking a close look at a Republican proposal to pay all federal employees — including essential and furloughed workers — as they’re under new pressure from the nation’s largest federal workers union to pass a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government. They also...

No way was the GOP going to allow more illegals to received taxpayer funded healthcare nor support a 1.5. trillion dollar new spending package including trans, LGBTQ, or DEI funding in foreign countries.

As if possible - they are losing even more support than before.

Republican approval ratings are going up.

Well good thing no one was asking for illegals to receive it.

Is a government shutdown worth it to prevent that?

That's one of the secrets of the success of modern conservatism. Every molehill is a hill to die on.

Democrats are right to prevent the dismantling (or fatally crippling) the Affordable Care Act, and right to fight for Medicaid. Health care is a human right. In addition, about 648,000 health care workers will lose their jobs---and Republicans, who pretend they care so much about federal workers, don't seem to care about that.

There is a multi-billion dollar contingency fund in the USDA budget to allow SNAP benefits to be paid. Instead, the party who has cut almost 200,000 people off SNAP this year pretends they care so much about the hungry.

Democrats shouldn't cave. Republicans have made a chaotic disaster out of the last nine months, and this is one of the rare opportunities Democrats can to prevent more incalculable human suffering.

CNN indicated that 45% of the people who rely on the ACA are Republicans. 35% are Democrats. 20% are independents.

Yet another indication of Republicans' biting the hands that feed them votes. For shame!

That question goes to the Democrats. It is their no votes that shut the government down. Yes votes would have kept it open.
Rational common sense.

Right. They have to go along with the GOP or the government stays shutdown. No hope the two parties will work together.

Ironically, by leveraging human suffering. How quaint.

Looks like you and @Vambram are onboard with leveraging human suffering.

It is the Democrats in the Senate who are leveraging human suffering every time they continue to vote to keep the filibuster going and thus keep the government shutdown.

What has happened is the Democrats are interfering with the normal affairs of government, demanding their agenda be put forward instead of the GOP agenda, and the GOP majority in both parties and the president were elected by the people. The Democrats have said before they realize that people would suffer because of a shutdown, but they went ahead and did it anyways. Some say get rid of the filibuster because the Democrats would do it if situation was reversed. I think that eventually Republicans will run out of ways to fund those out of work, and the workers, mostly Democrats, will get angry at the Democrat leadership.

The GOP doesnt need human suffering for leverage. It is the only card Democrats have left in their hand.
