For Ossoff and Georgia Democrats, the shutdown fight is the message
The fight over the federal government shutdown has allowed Georgia Democrats, like U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, to show that they have the grit to stand up to Republicans.

if one guy is a nazi and you're the guy hired to beat the nazis but at every turn you refuse to actually fight the nazis, you're nearly as much of a problem as the fucking nazis.
All I see on Blue is..
"Tear down the Democratic Party."
No one is saying "Tear down the party that has ushered in Christofascism with their Project25 agenda, who has starved children domestic and abroad, who is kidnapping people, who has made life in the US unaffordable."
I guess the GOP is ok.
