How long should Dems have let the shutdown go on so that you, personally, would be convinced it was pointless to continue?
If Thanksgiving came & went w workers unpaid, SNAP exhausted, air travel chaos, would you have been convinced? Christmas?
Once the point is made, the suffering is gratuitous.

Exactly. The point was to make the case to the public that the GOP is willing to do these things, not to actually allow the GOP to do these things.
Hopefully Tuesday has Republicans worried & makes them more willing to bargain.

I've gotten into it w them before, about a month ago, bc they were basically saying Pritzker should press the issue until it turns violent, & I was like, WTF that's insane.

There was a piece in The Atlantic from 2022 that really stuck w me, except I think it was too narrow. I think the pandemic made it legible, but I think it applies just as much to guns as it does disease & vaccinations, & I had just never thought of it in those terms before.
They're a death cult.

I think it's a sign of desperation on Cuomo's part. He's losing, he knows he's losing, that's why he's saying these things in the first place.
But also, "in our party"? He lost the primary and is running as an independent. The chyron shows it! Like talking about Dems Lieberman, Manchin, & Sinema.

I can't decide if this means Air Supply is beloved or hated, given it gets a spot in the bunker, but is separate from everyone else.
