It would have been impossible for Democrats to shut down government without endless sound bites of CS playing 24/7 of him saying how hurtful they are. And that is the truth, the very people we are seeing hurt now would be hurt even worse. You can’t pretend to be outraged by Vets and then cut their

Federal workers and contractors for a performance that will fail because Dump is president and he will keep govt shut down rather than sign a Dem bill…Biden is not president!
People are pissed. In what universe would shutting down all government agencies and workers make any this better. Sure it would feel good for a month and then…
Cowering in the face of the media onslaught is how we ended up where we are.
Democrats could have said: we will not stand for Americans to lose Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. We will not stand by and have the FAA, DOJ, FDA, USDA, NOA and the government decimated and put 340 million Americans in harms way.
A shutdown govt is better than NO GOVT.
Johns Hopkins just let go 2,000 cancer researchers this week. The govenment shutdown is now happening with much less guardrails given this bill
I'm sick of, "this isn't what we voted for."
IT'S EXACTLY WHAT "YOU" VOTED FOR!! What in the world did you expect?!?!
I’m talking 2 generation Hispanic workers who were going to vote Republican. I talked until I was blue in the face (pun intended).
Unchecked immigration is destroying the trades for documented workers. Dems own a big big part of it
You’re playing right into their hands my friend. You’re giving them all the cover they need to keep destroying the government.
Appeasing Hitler was a bad idea in WWII. Appeasing Trump and GOP is a bad idea now. Democrats lost a window of messaging with this vote.
A hero dies once. A coward dies many deaths.
We don’t “fight” by shutting down government. Thats exactly what doge is doing now. WTF would you help them do that?

Shutting down government hurt millions of more people and gives cover and is consistent with a party that is trying to dismantle government.
Look Dems have been on record for years saying how hurtful a shutdown is because IT IS. We can’t pretend that we never said this.
Trump's criminal prosecutions were ludicrously unfair *in his favor* and the GOP screamed about persecution and witch hunts anyway. Biden's economic recovery was good, they shrieked about inflation anyway.
The GOP are going to sob and blame Dems, excuses or no excuses. So give em excuses. Fight.
And had we shut the government down we would have had some of that stank on us. It’s all GOP
Dems vote no then what?
We can’t simultaneously freak out about vets and government workers being harmed and then proceed to harm the same people. Let the republicans own this shit show 100%
