Many Americans are "relieved" shutdown is over but expect higher health insurance costs.

There’s some relief that the government shutdown is over, but Democrats are more likely to say they’re frustrated about the deal that ended it, and that their party compromised too much.

By a wide margin, Americans say it was Republicans and Trump who succeeded in getting more of what they wanted from the negotiations to end the shutdown.

Most Democrats think their own party’s congressional Democrats compromised too much. Most Republicans say their delegation’s approach to compromise was about right.

      Who do I tell? Their answering machine? Their poorly paid staffer who has to answer calls?

      Maybe I should just go talk to my front door knob, or quietly whisper my complaints into a pillow. It would accomplish the same thing.

        Every single congressman has a contact page and a little box to tick requesting a response. You type their name into google followed by contact and you send them an email. I feel like I shouldn’t even have to explain this to people, this is really basic shit.

        Here, look: Email Jacky Rosen

        Do that.

        If we all can’t be bothered to do that most basic shit as telling them what we want, then we probably deserve this hell, because sure as fuck our enemies are speaking their demands to them.

        I don’t judge people by what they wear, the last one who couldn’t bother to show up in attire was Fetterman and he’s a piece of shit.
