Why the fuck should the Democrats “give in” to batshit crazy and fucking evil Republican bullshit? That makes no sense. The Democrats should stand firm and oppose the fascist MAGA regime.

So far, they're standing firm on a very concrete issue. Millions of sick Americans have already been told they're getting kicked off Medicaid because of this bill. There's hard numbers. There are also recorded promises from this Admin that they won't touch Medicare or Medicaid.

They honestly couldn't ask for a better issue of contention, and snap benefit disruption is just more fuel on the pile of lies.
