    Ok, so I think the Democrat leaders are being spineless cowards as usual, but if I were trying to think of the strategy they are attempting here, I would say they are worried that Trump will blame the recession he is causing on the government shutdown and they don’t have confidence in their counter-messaging.

      I’ll be more excited to vote for Democrats if they can find their balls and start obstructing the fascist takeover. Was it not enough that they used ICE to kidnap and try to deport a legal resident for exercising his first amendment right?! Why the fuck shouldn’t we want a government shutdown when that’s the sort of thing this regime would use it for?!

        Considering the way democrats behaved towards anti-genocide protesters? There’s some hesitation in the answer to that question.
