Polls don't matter. Dems made a "which is worse" decision. They chose the less crappy option.
A govt shutdown is far, far worse for everyday Americans than some polling. What Trump and Co are doing now is nothing compared to what they can do if they can hold every single budget item hostage. The "traitors" understand this and made the less bad decision. By keeping the govt open it takes a huge amount of power away from MAGA.
Things are already going to get real bad. Why let Republicans have absolute control over the budget too?
- thrance 2y agoWhat? How is letting the Republicans pass their bill as-is with no revision whatsoever taking "a huge amount of power from MAGA"? A shutdown may have forced the Republicans to make concessions, but instead they'll continue to do whatever they want in the foreseeable future, and now with the Democratic party's blessings. Don't fool yourself, the Dems that voted for the bill didn't do it with the American people in mind, nor even their own party. It was purely out of self-interest and to catter to the new king.
