Democrats have won..

Fine by me. Republicans are shit too.

Now you made two claims about me in two separate threads and then ran when I held you to task. Quit running and answer the questions.
I have not run from anyone. What I'm tired of is right-wingers asking questions when they never answer questions they are asked. I am also tired of reading racist garbage, then having people claim it's not racist.

I really don't care what you're tired of. You made two separate claims about me. Either back it up with facts or admit you're a racist liar. And yes, you run all the time. That's why you have so many people on ignore so you don't have to face them.

It is also why so many of us have that little prick on our ignore lists.
 
Democrats are living on borrowed time in a bubble of support in the mainstream media. Once the mainstream media becomes honest and unbiased it's all over. The cracks are showing when Kamila was last year's favorite and she lost in a stunning landslide.

Theoretically the voice of the people should prevail. If enough people phone and e-mail their Congressmen and Senators things will change their positions.
The big problem is that Democrat politicians all believe that they must follow their Party leaders orders and the tax payers be damned.
Opposition letters and emails sent Patty Murray or Maria Cantwell, WA democrat senators, get first class paper airplane trips to the circular file. Their TDS makes them completely ignore their non-democrat constituents. FACT.
 
That's a lie.

Fact = Most SNAP beneficiaries are not employed.

New eligibility rules will require able-bodied adult recipients with no dependent children under 14 to work a minimum of 20 hours/week.

If they were all working full time, why would you Democrats be bitching about the new work requirement?

Fact: Most SNAP Recipients are CHILDREN. 80
 
Actually republicans haven't tried at all.
All budgets have to originate in the house of representatives, and the house has been MIA for the last month and a half.
The house can't write a budget, if they haven't been in session since weeks before the government shutdown.
The CR has already been written and passed previously. This is just trying to extend that budget.

Holy shit are you clueless, the House ALREADY passed the CR! Months ago

Geez, you dembots don't even know what the topic is.
 
It doesnt mean they are right, it means that they have proven they are willing to sacrifice Americans getting snap benefits because they are unwilling to allow a CR that funds the government at current levels because they HAVE to have Healthcare for illegals in any bill, even a bill that just says "hey, let's keep things going for now while we argue about the main bill"



I cant verify the reports of looting he claims but he makes some very salient points.

42 million Americans are about to lose access to food. What do you think that will cause? There WILL be looting, civil unrest on a mass scale, and when people are in this situation, they wont look at democrats, they will look at trump.

Among these 42 million Americans are those who really need assistance as well as those who are gaming the system, but in all of that are children who need food.

Democrats have proven they are willing to put Healthcare for illegals ahead of keeping the government open. They call them "lawfully present'" those who are here illegally but claiming asylum or refugee status, which anyone crossing the border can claim that, and dems fight to keep them here, so now they are trying to get Healthcare benefits for them in the new bill. This is why they are unwilling to sign any bill that doesnt include concessions for the Healthcare subsidies and benefits for those "lawfully present".

Democrats know this will ultimately come back on republicans because they can get out the messaging with all the attention they are getring through these protests. Which is bullshit, because I dare say, none of these dems actually care about the issues, its just a way to act out their anger against trump and take any advantage they can to make the right look bad.

For this reason, to avert people losing access to food, we must sign concessions but make damn sure the people know why all of this happened and what the dems did here.

I know many will push back on me, and thats fine, but as the guy in the video said, there are larger concerns here that need to be addressed, which is the potential for mass civil unrest/violence, looting which will lead to bare shelves, and a hit on local economies.

They are making the point that the Republican party is unwilling to compromise and they do not care about the average American. Especially don't care about the working poor. Willing to let them go hungry and without health care. Yes they said they would negotiate after the Democrats signed on but why take that chance. They've lied before and they seem to believe if they are in the majority they don't have to compromise at all.
 
Of course not. I wasnt suggesting i could compel them. I was saying that, in order to keep 42 million people from going hungry, the repubs will have to give dems what they want, to avert a larger catastrophe. Repubs just need to take every opportunity to let the public know what dems did and that it was repubs who conceded to avoid causing people to lose access to food.
You don't understand what's happening with the SNAP funds.
SNAP is funded with both a regular fund, plus a contingency fund (rainy day). That's there to cover unexpected circumstances, like the last time there was a government shutdown for 35 days under Trump 45.

There was no disruption of SNAP in Trump's previous government shutdown so Trump's decision to cut off SNAP on November 1st is a political choice. Trump has the money, but inflicting pain on democratic states is Trump's goal.
Except most people on SNAP are republicans.
