Really excellent work, everyone.

I assume no republican ever learned, “actions speak louder than words.” Because it doesn’t fucking matter what he says. Look at what he does. He will let every person die, whether they support him or not… actually, he wants them to be dead.

@austinwiltshire.bsky.social, pick any issue you want. Which one do you think would have gotten them to move? Also, if they didn’t. Was the government just shut until the next election? I’m not questioning fighting, I’m questioning the republican’s willingness to give a fuck.

Duh. No one thought they would, right? I assumed we gave it up because we care about nothing in reality.

I was just stating a fact, not advocating for it or agreeing it was right. Don’t need to admonish me for it.

We chose healthcare, which is a lynchpin issue. But they will never, ever do anything that helps something called, “Obamacare”. They don’t care if they lose every election because of it. They will destroy us before we get there.

Can we just say the same things but about Christians? They did plenty of terrorism. Or is it not terrorism when you are white? Hard to say.

Is that strategy here to make people notice that Republicans are willing to let you go brankrupt or die? Don’t we already know that? There is no way they believed the subsidies would ever pass without extreme leverage. Now you got none.

If you are gonna waste the shutdown, at least use this time to get Schumer out! Come on!

Fucking sucks, I really want to know what would make the R’s cave. Clearly not killing people or starving them. What’s left?

Do we think the republicans would have caved? I think they would literally let everyone die. Not saying, I’m not pissed. But I do not think they give a shit, and probably wouldn’t nuke the filibuster because they care too much about future power.

I assume this will be worse than whatever outcome would have been and we 0 ATCs due to the shutdown continuing.

It won’t work, the mechanics will take a generation. But we have seen the path. The Republican Party changed in 1 year. 2015-2016. We can do the same. Just need someone who can lead us there.

They will never accept any court decision that opposes them. Why would they? Who is going to arrest them if they do?

If we have learned anything, it’s not that hard to take over the party. We all remember what republicans said in 2015, compare that with they said in 2019, 2021, or 2024.

The answer is so obvious and it’s very perplexing that they don’t see it. Your policies, wherever they sit, don’t matter if you are not in power. And guess what, you just reduced those chances significantly by being unwilling to make real sacrifices, while citizens are risking their actual lives.

Travel issues would have impacted the middle class and above. We need those to feel pain, too.

I know the republicans would never extend the credits. But why didn’t they just let them go the filibuster nuking route? I maybe get the whole we’ve caused enough pain, etc argument. But don’t we need Trump voters to acutely feel the pain? SNAP/Healthcare disproportionately affects the poor.

What other votes are there? Didn’t they just vote for cloture?

Yeah perhaps. Although seems like it’s real now. Sad.

I think the saddest thing is not just that momentum will be lost. But that this proves both sides don’t care about their citizens, only their own jobs/power/wealth.

Who broke the news of this “rumor” and has any actual outlet substantiated it? Seems like it’s just everyone posting based on whatever the one rumor was.
