    The Fascist enabling Neoliberals will fall in line and aupport their Republican friends at the last minute, granting all of their wishes while saying their hands were tied.

    They have done this every single budget vote in my life

    I would love for it to be different this time

    While normally such a government shutdown is disastrous, with all the crazy ICE stuff and all the cuts to mandatory services it now it seems like the best course of action and I hope the democrats keep it up (fat chance of that)

    Shut it down.

    Shut it all down.

    General strike until every Republican resigns and gerrymandering is criminalized nationwide.

    What kind of a dysfunctional, mismanaged country has to struggle every single year to avoid its entire government shutting down, and sometimes fails to do so? Are any other countries like this?

      I mean, no… But both parties do suck. It’s just, the Republicans are trying their best to destroy the world, and the democrats are just ineffective and wanting to tax sugar.

        I didn’t realize that’s why the Dems have allowed laws to continue passing

        My entire life I have assumed since they have acted complicit that they were, now that I know they’re useless cowards taking up the space where an opposing party to fascism should be that makes me feel a lot better and respect them more!
