The Schumer Shutdown

[SavedByGrace3]

Of course, the GOP could end this by negotiating on health care subsidies in good faith, but we know that's not gonna happen.

No, it won't. "Trump could leave the White House and turn the Presidency over to Kamala." That would solve a lot of Democrats' problems. But obviously, he will not, nor should he. Nor should the majority party cave to the minority party and allow them to add 1.5 trillion to the debt. The Dems are holding the nation hostage by knowingly and intentionally shutting down the gov with 13 consecutive no votes. This is their doing.
Elections have consequences. For the Republicans to abandon the voters who empowered them to run the government would be a betrayal of democracy. It is odd that the Democrats, who seem so jealous of "democracy," betray that process over and over again and want it to happen again here. Do you want to run the show? Get some policies the voters can get behind, and then you might win some elections. Until then, let democracy rule. Open the gov. Vote yes on the CR and get back to business.

Absolutely. All the things the Democrats want can be negotiated later.

Not without using federal paychecks, SNAP benefits, and other assistance programs for the poor as hostages.
