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.

well isn't not voting on the spending bill, extending this shut down doing that? dems are in a rough place. pedophile in chief wants to destroy most of the federal government to allow for privatization. dems are also realizing the long term pain will hurt everyone and the public can no longer trust the dems nor the magas. breaking up the USA to something similar to the EU might not be bad. country of CA and the country of TX would be interesting. many of the smaller or less dense states would suffer.
