Markwayne Mullin is all hat and no dick.

Well you said that when the Dems are in power, they claim to not be able to do anything.

But when they were in power, they actually did lots of good things.

What is the "long term win" that you believe they could have achieved?

No sarcasm here, I just don't see how the Democrats could actually have forced anything, given their lack of control of any lever in government.

I'm gonna go against the isolationist populist trend, and say that NAFTA was actually good for the economy, and the middle class.

That wizard came from the moon!

Seriously though, there is like, maybe 5 minutes of total voiced dialog in this entire game. It really doesn't matter.

That's exactly it. Trump and his cult don't care if kids go hungry, or people don't get paid.

Threatening them with those things had no impact. They didn't care.

Shutting down the government generally only benefits the party that runs on the idea that government is bad.

No, the emergency funds for supporting SNAP in a shutdown only lasts a few weeks.

Trump is fighting spending them, but they do not last for an extended period of time.

So how long do you think we should have had kids go hungry?
November 10, 2025 at 11:42 PM
Should we fund kids getting food?

"choose healthcare" doesn't actually mean anything, dude. Maybe it sounds cool on a button, but it isn't a real thing.

You can't "choose healthcare" because the GOP controls every branch of government.

This is exactly it.

Were we winning the shutdown fight? Having government going over a month without pay, or being straight up fired? Having kids starve?

I feel like a lot of people didn't feel like we were "winning" the shutdown.

People who wanted to "hold the line" should have voted in 2024, so that the GOP wouldn't have control over the entire government.

The Epstein ballroom sure is gaudy.

The SCOTUS case is specifically about spending emergency funds which are allocated for use in a government shutdown.
November 10, 2025 at 8:32 PM
Because that doesn't have anything to do with snap payments after the government is open.
November 10, 2025 at 8:20 PM
Are you on SNAP? Do you have kids?
November 10, 2025 at 7:56 PM
Nah, I think I'm gonna go with the one that I know will stick in her craw.

Also, Nancy Mace isn't actually ugly.

When the Dems held the majority, they passed two of the largest, most progressive pieces of legislation in history.

Why not give them credit for those things? Why pretend they didn't do it?
November 10, 2025 at 5:59 PM
So what do you think the Dems can do?
Shut down the government?

How does that result in the goals of having the government do things to help the underprivileged?

Regarding SNAP, the emergency funds only cover that for a few weeks.
