This is the UNstated reason why Democrats are stalling. There aren't just ACA subsidies at stake. Democrats do not want to be acquiesce to killing off major government functions.



Oh for god's sake.

Republicans have the majority in both houses they can open the government at any time they won't Epstein that's it.

How are the Dems supposed to negotiate those things when they have no leverage?


PP here. That is the genius of it. The DEMs dont have to negotiate because the GOP won't be able to agree on a counter offer. The GOP hates SNAP and ACA but some of them know they cannot kill the programs.


Dems do not have to do anything'

Learn how our government works. REPUBLICANS OWN THE MAJORITIES IN THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE. Not one Dem vote is needed.

They are never reopening it THE EPSTEIN FILES & if by chance Dems win seats for the HOUSE they will never be seated.

Dems were fools to seat Republicans last time.

I think the republicans will eventually cave on the ACA subsidies and the government will reopen before Thanksgiving, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if most of the people who were formerly furloughed are RIFed as retribution.

You are too stupid to have access to a computer. Taxes are the price we pay for a government and organized society.

How did Republicans negotiate when they were in the minority and “have no leverage”? The CRs and budgets that ultimately reopened the government had lots of bipartisan support.


Well, for one, the Ds were open to collaboration.

Trump ordered a bu ch of furloughed people back last week (no pay) so it seems he plans to never open - but I hope he is ignored and they open it for a few days to negotiate.

Why would Dems trust any agreement with the GOP? Trump is unilaterally refusing to spend already-appropriated monies and clawing back federal monies from state bank accounts.

Any deal agreed to by Dems and signed into law will just be ignored by Trump and the executive branch.

That’s why the shutdown is going until the Eve of Thanksgiving.

If they pass the only thing currently on the table? Nov 21.
