No, the choice is will Rs work to create a clean CR and a bipartisan budget bill or will they shut the government down bc they don’t want to work with democrats. Thats what’s happening here.
Ignore what that fossil is saying and vote with your constituents needs in mind, not political games. Schumer is on the wrong side on this one, fuck him.🖕
Can they risk Trump shutting down the courts? They would do everything in the CR, with no guardrails. If he deems that the courts are not "essential workers" they lose the last agency to stop him.
If Republicans do what they say they are going to do, the entire country will rise up against all Republicans. No one will stay home if Republicans shut everything down.
But they won't get the blame from the people who really need to see what they are doing. The people who are unhappy but still sticking with Republicans will blame Democrats, because they don't pay attention to what's in the CR. If they rise up, he will declare martial law. He's itching to do it.
He will do this any way, make him make the decision so that it’s on him, he can own what happens. We don’t need to be helping him and give him the option of saying the Dems supported his decision. Fascism is here, you either fight it or get destroyed by it. No easy answer.
