Congressional Democrats are marching in lockstep into the fourth week of a government shutdown, even as lawmakers brace for what could be the most painful point yet — a cutoff in federal food aid for more than 40 million people.
But Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries are signaling that there will be no change in strategy: Democrats won’t provide the votes to reopen the government unless their demands over health care are met. And they’re increasingly hammering President Donald Trump for his failure to sit down to negotiate with Democrats, while instead embarking on his second foreign trip so far during the shutdown.
“This is all Trump,” a visibly frustrated Sen. Peter Welch of Vermont told CNN. “Trump’s not engaged. Republicans won’t negotiate,” Welch said, arguing that Trump’s trip to Asia this week as “an indication of how he could care less.”
This is what a 12 year old thinks is deep.
Actual adults read voting records, look at policy differences, look at the people a party is catering to, and understand that life is not fairytales and fluffy floating cakes.
Whether a politician does or doesnt care is irrelevant.
Whether they are the closest available vessel to get you closer to your goals and to keep the people around you safe is what does.
You’re thinking with your heart. I think I need to spell this out so: The heart has no brain cells.
There is an extremely obvious difference between the fourth reich and boring neoliberals. If you can’t recognize that, you are either being disingenuous or can’t get a handle of your emotions over the fact that getting the perfect party you want is impossible, and getting a party close to what you want will take a very long amount of time, requiring a lot of consistency, supporting mid candidates, and will be unfun and boring.
