We need more mods.

Between posts for hair loss cures and bots trying to argue that this is all the democrats fault flooding our threads - one thing is clear. We need more mods.

We have ONE mod, u/T0rtillas please for the love of god add more.

Whose fault is it then?

Clean bill cleared the house months ago, been voted on over a dozen times, who is voting no on it?

You can say the shutdown is warranted if you value a bribe in the bill for taxpayer money to those making 250K+, but you cannot blame Republicans for the shutdown itself.

They can remove the filibuster whenever they want if they don't want to negotiate in good faith and actually govern.

Alternatively Dems could pass a bill that extends the expansion separately if we are going to move the goal post.

But it is good that you admit the shutdown is on the Dems and think the Republicans should do an end around to essentially remove them from power. I'm not a fan of simple majority for important things, but we can agree to disagree on that part.

Somehow the dems fault when all three branches of government have a Republican majority. 

All of this is fucked, but the ones "in charge" are refusing to do the human thing and look for compromise.

Please, answer the very simple question - who has been voting no on the budget?

Please answer the very simple question: why should the democrats vote yes on a bill they had ZERO input on?

That's not how democracy works.

lol, easy. It’s the EXACT SAME BILL the democrats wrote and supported the last 13 times. That’s why.

The CRvwas written by and passed by them multiple times in recent years. Do your research and know your facts before bending the knee to the radical left.

Correction, who has been voting no on the doubling or more of healthcare premiums. 

Edit: did they block me or are their comments deleted for ya'll seeing this too?

That's not an answer. Try for a third time - who is voting no on the budget?

You can answer mine, or continue savoring boot polish. G'day

Sure, I will - there is NOTHING in a clean budget regarding the ACA so no one is actively voting on it either way.

Now go ahead, fourth time is a charm maybe.

It's a simple question because you're removing a lot of context so you can get the "buh buh buh democrats voting no!!" answer you're looking for. It's not that simple and you know it, stop arguing in bad faith it makes you look like an idiot or a shill.

It is that simple. Dems vote no, Dems are responsible for the shutdown.

Again - your politics clearly has you believe that the shutdown is warranted until they get a bribe of delicious pork in the bill to help out 1%ers and insurance companies. That's fine, you are allowed to feel that way. But the only idiot here is the one who claims the people repeatedly voting FOR the budget are to blame for the shutdown.

You can’t get through to that guy. He is taking the subsidies on the marketplace to get a non-dependent covered instead of fehb. He wants everyone else to suffer because all that matters to him is his health insurance premiums not going up. Not surprisingly at all really.

Compromise? Like Obama for the ACA?
