In reply to the discussion: The crashout on DU over the shutdown resolution is really over the top [View all]Mr. Mustard 2023
(342 posts)...because the threat of hunger and economic collapse is always present when shutting down the gov't. If we weren't committed to it, then we shouldn't have started it. It's a loss for us, and Dems are now furious with each other. Good move.
Of course it's heinous to allow people to go hungry. Know what else is heinous? Masked armed men in unmarked cars kidnapping humans and sending them god knows where. We just funded more of that, as our Mad King increases his personal police force known as ICE. That's okay I guess.
There is always going to be pain in a fight, and to start a fight, then stop it because the disadvantaged might suffer is ridiculous. Of course people will suffer, and of course air traffic will stop after a month a half. I guess we can never play hardball because their might be collateral damage, so we can expect nothing from leadership and realize it's on us and only us. Oh by the way, people will suffer then too.
We just folded on the very thing we started while funding our own demise, and that's freaking stupid.
