    Huh?

    Yes, there are definitely accelerationists (both tankies and useful idiots) who just want to watch things burn.

    But this? I can see the logic. But there is zero chance that resolution would have passed and this is just republicans shutting the government down a few hours early rather than bickering until the last minute.

    For DNC leadership that insists on decorum and tradition? Yeah, that is atrocious and horrible and an even greater sin than not properly clapping for someone. But it doesn’t matter to anyone else. This is now a war of the news and social media and not one that is going to be solved while in session.

    And all this comes across as is… weakness.

      exactly

      Hence the comment about the worthlessness of current leadership. Shutting the government. down shuts down project 2025. It forces the gestapo to work unpaid. That might last a week, but two, three weeks? That shit doesn’t fly when you are deployed to fucking Chicago and you are now paying for shit out of pocket.

      Democratic leaders are cowards who are afraid to wield force, and they have the perfect opportunity here to show the incompetence and bankruptcy of this administration, along with extracting results.

      Schumer and Jeffery’s are working to do the opposite. Worthless.

        When they shut the government down, there is still a huge pile of money to be dispersed. It just closes down some offices. Trump has stolen many billions from congressionally allocated uses. That money will pay the gestapo while everyone else eats ramen until the government reopens

          Trump isn’t the type to pay people. He deliberately tries to renege on debts owed, just to feel like a brilliant deal artisan. He especially doesn’t care about poors nor military service members, which ICE somehow Venn Diagrams on top of the racism.

            This isn’t his plan. It’s the long orchestrated project 2025 shit. They want to shutdown the normal government but keep ICE running so they can do their kristalnacht without your normal non-fascist govt employees getting in the way with things like injunctions

        We’ll definitely agree to disagree, but I said what I said and your comment makes me feel no different.

        In a time when Republicans should be in the hot seat, liberals (which I assume you are), are instead focusing on how shitty democrats are. In every post I see about what republicans are doing wrong, the first comment is to shit on Democrats.

        This is how we give republicans the midterms.

          &

          liberals (which I assume you are)

          Well you are clearly an idiot who doesn’t understand the definition of terms or have the remotest context for their comments.

          The will for Democrats to meet Republicans halfway is precisely why Democrats lost this past elections.

          You want to call meME?!? liberal? Bruh, you are literally advocating a liberal position. Get a clue. Don’t even bother showing up to the comments if you don’t know what words mean.

          Shitlibs gonna shitlib I guess.

            Relax dude. I’m a real person.

            I see now that you are a conservative who wants democrats to fail. I’ve have been seeing countless liberals on here that want the same thing. It’s hard to tell the difference these days.

              Dude you are literally advocating a liberal position. Stop using words where you don’t know their meaning.

                Are you high? I am not disputing that at all. I am liberal. I thought you were as well based on the fact that all the liberals on here have been shitting on democrats lately.
