STOP thinking about Yourself and START thinking about the Rich People who’s Private Jets were being Grounded and Stocks going DOWN! This was ALMOST becoming a TRAGEDY! It’s a GOOD thing Dems caved when they did before something CATASTROPHIC happened like MILLIONS of Children going Hungry!MILLIONS of Working Class Families losing Healthcare! Rich people Feeling UNCOMFORTABLE!
I imagine they see reality quite differently from people younger than them do. Like a box was built around them to keep them blind. Nothing else makes sense.
Ezra Klein had an interesting take which was that the shutdown was to actually to bring attention to the healthcare subsidy issue in a very public way, even though they knew Trump would never negotiate on the issue in the end. But now they have a massive policy cudgel, and the media initiative heading into the midterms.
It literally was. His approval was collapsing. Why the fuck is this so hard for anyone with an ounce of power?
They like retaining power more than actually standing up for what is right.
I got news about that retention with the direction we are going
Pretty sure all the ones that did this aren’t up for election.
These slimy fucks just used the shutdown to win the elections.
We need to impeach them, or somehow get the electorate to have a memory longer than a goldfish
Or do the other thing that any other country would have done by now
They won’t need a memory much longer than that if they keep being reminded of just how much they’ve been massively fucked over and over again.

Money means fuck all if you empower your radical fascist political enemy. You’ll either die in a ditch or in prison.
True, look at all the oligarchs Putin offed to steal their money. Maybe Trump will kill Elon. I hear they aren’t friends anymore.
