Remind me again - when is the last time progressives shut down the federal government? Conservatives threaten to do so every year and have succeeded many times in the last 15 years.
- rayiner 3y agoThe federal government has very little to do with the quality of the day to day life of middle class people. Police, education, etc., are all state and local issues. If you get beat up by criminals in front of your kids, that’s the fault of the local government to enforce basic order in society: https://www.indiatoday.in/world/story/shivanthi-sathanandan-carjacked-minneapolis-police-united-states-news-2433527-2023-09-09 https://www.indiatoday.in/world/story/shivanthi-sathanandan-...
- ddd00001 3y agoYour reply is a complete and utter non-sequitur. Conservatives are not why homeless drug addicts are given free reign to camp out and harass every day, hard working tax payers in San Francisco. That's entirely due to a single veto point (a progressive judge who doesn't even live in the city), despite there finally being some local government push against such activities.
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoSo strange. Are you in the US? Probably not. Then you would know the federal government has zero to do with things like public restrooms. It is like local govts which are almost all progressive in high density cities where restrooms are an issue.
