At this point, the Dems have no good options. I think better way is to let whatever happens happen and allow the people to figure things out on their own. As far as I'm concerned, US govt is a sham at this point - on one side are the morons and the other side are the monsters. Neither side deserves deference.
Do you want strength and plans or stupidity and trans

The CR doesn’t cut Medicaid.
What about the blank check? How are they going to cut that much without it?
In any case, whatever befalls Americans, the GOP will blame Dems and they will be correct. This is exactly what they want.

The Dems are in a bad place and I think Schumer is right. It sucks that the republicans are destroying this country. Let’s stop blaming the Dems. That’s what they want us to.
From NYT article:
“The Republican bill is a terrible option,” Mr. Schumer said in his evening speech. “It is deeply partisan. It doesn’t address far too many of this country’s needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option.”
In a shutdown, Mr. Schumer said, “the Trump administration would have full authority to deem whole agencies, programs and personnel nonessential, furloughing staff with no promise that they would ever be rehired.”
He also warned that if the government closed, Mr. Trump and Republicans would have no incentive to reopen it, since they could selectively fund “their favorite departments and agencies, while leaving other vital services that they don’t like to languish.”
It's because of this. Schumer is right. AOC is immature and wrong.
+1
Thsi is chilling- it never even occurred to me that they would permenanently shut it all down on purpose. Maybe Schumer realized this b/c he is jewish and is more sensitive to how fascists operate and AOC (and I) are niave b/c we cant concieve of sonething like this. Im so afraid now that citizenship granted to immigrants and those born here after 1965 will be rescinded. I am at risk of becoming stateless.
