[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is a very DC insider focused thread but as someone who is not in DC, I can tell you most of us dont care at ALL if the government shuts down. I feel like the government shutting down has almost zero downside for the underdog party. The vast majority of Americans will not see immediate job risk issues or immediate ramifications. Sure, it's not great for the TSA but they're not going to find a new career in a week. The dems should shut it down for however long they want. MAGA is psychotic. This is probably the most beige pushback you could give in the circs so they should feel zero pressure to back down until they have to for whatever political reason comes up. [/quote]

This is one of the dumber posts I've ever read on DCUM.

Many Americans will feel the pain of the government shut down very soon.
This will come back to haunt the GOP. 
Yeah, trump may fire lots of government workers, but most will be rehired. 
Why is Trump so gung-ho to keep the government open? He knows it's going to kill the GOP if it goes on for a long time.
Finally, the Democrats are standing up and fighting, a bit.
We need a lot more of this. [/quote]

The post is actually not dumb. You all are just very inside the beltway.

After the 2018–2019 shutdown, a Pew Research Center survey found that only 16% of people said they or a family member were “personally inconvenienced” by the shutdown — and only 7% said it was a major inconvenience. The vast majority (84%) said it had no impact on them.

I agree that the Dems should have shut it down. I just think everyone is overestimating how much the average person cares. You all care bc you are feds. The rest of us barely think about it [/quote]

+1.

And backing up your claim as factually-accurate with statistical evidence from Pew is just more proof:

- DC is an absurdly biased, partisan bubble, plus

- DCUMAD is a progressive echo-chamber, not a discussion forum.[/quote]

So you're a radical leftist? [/quote]

It’s so weird how bad maga is at insulting people 😂

Oh no! We’re all gonna go cry about being called a ‘radical leftist’ or a ‘clown’

Get some better insults. [/quote]

The "radical leftist" stuff is so tired. [/quote]

So tired. And when you're a mouth breathing far right Nazi wannabe, everyone to the left looks radical to you.
