Wait! They think that people who would vote Dem want this government to keep running? Shut that shit down! Hold everything hostage the way the GOP does when they're the minority party! Stop turning the other cheek to fascists.
I just don't understand why more congresspeople don't get this. I can already tell you that Schumer, Fetterman, Peters, and Slotkin, and many more are going to vote to pass the bill because of their usual boilerplate bullshit reasons.
A Vox podcast (Today Explained) speculated that that Dems won’t put the gov into shutdown because they are afraid that the GOP would retaliate by eliminating the filibuster, and then strong arming literally everything and anything they want without opposition.
I am, admittedly, not super up on how politics works at this kind of a political level but that’s what was discussed. Another person said they doubted the GOP would do it because they like it as an option if an opposing party has control, but it’s an option. However, Dems don’t want to gamble and want to be sure of the best outcome.
Congresspeople? How dare you assume they're people?!
They already indicated that they want to pass it because they are scared if they don't the Republicans will remove the filibuster. Their plan is to hold out for a while then let it pass.
