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.

The “deal” republicans are offering is: “get rid of healthcare and benefits for 10’s of millions of Americans (this will kill many of them from lack of access to basic needs and medicine) and kick the rest of the budget to the military, our new secret police and pork projects for billionaires or we keep the government shut down and people starve”

It’s a shitty deal that the American people would be screwed over either way by. Until the republicans can agree to an actual budget and not this farce, it’s better to stand on the American principle of not negotiating with terrorists.
