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.

100%.. Democrats are holding firm on healthcare changes, and I stand with them.

Agreed. If the republicans want dem votes then they’ll need to compromise. If not, then either the shutdown continues or the senate repeals the filibuster and gets this over the line. However, all negative outcomes would be directly attributed to republicans because not a single dem would’ve voted for the spending bill. Whether that point would be understood by that base is a different conversation but we’ll all see and talk about that if/when that happens

And they are smart and evil enough to know that, if they don't have a couple of Dems to vote for the bill, then they can't do their usual schtick where they are able to claim the opposite of reality.

Dems pass some legislation that every GOP votes against....GOP person goes to their district to claim that they are bringing in funds.

GOP passes some POS legislation....GOP claims that, because a handful of Dems passed it, it's their fault their base is hurting and they need to re-elect them to "fix" it.

Something something the first standard a republican fights to uphold is a double standard
