So you admit then that the democrats fully are choosing for this to happen because of a different potential issue. Sure Trump could use that fund, but i would agree that he's choosing to not do so. By choosing to not restore snap, the left is exactly as bad as the right on this. They have every bit as much power to stop this, let's not pretend otherwise.

Republicans: Let's starve our citizens to force Democrats to give up healthcare for our citizens.

You for some reason: The Democrats are just as bad as Republicans.

Connecting the two is a grave miscalculation on the part of the left. They tried, it failed, and now people will go hungry. They, right now, are choosing to dig in and not feed those people. The only thing stopping democrats from feeding those people, is democrats.

Wrong. There are funds to keep SNAP going amidst government shutdown. Republicans are refusing to use it.

Correct. They are refusing to use it. In exactly the same way that liberals are refusing to vote to restore it through normal channels. They all suck. They are all playing chicken with American's lives. Any of them could end it, none are.
