(devastatingly TIMED bill) that would ensure nothing imminent (health care subsidies, among others) WOULD be addressed. It was the ONLY leverage Dems had.

That YOU seem to believe that Dems DID shut down the government or voted FOR it shows that you are buying into RW-MAGA memes.


And resistance includes both our representatives standing up for us in CONGRESS, our votes (accomplished last Tuesday, but more to come), AND our SACRIFICE. I lost half my income during the shutdown.

As to WWII analogy, you clearly do not know what I am referencing in terms of NAZISM in THIS COUNTRY during the period from the late 1930s to Pearl Harbor. Read some history, please.
