Democrats Strategy for the Near-term: Shutdown the Government and Blame Republicans for Shutting Down Government

[Seymour Flops]

For their sake, I wish I were kidding, but no:



The Republicans will not shut down government, when they are so busy making it far, far better by cutting out the pork and the FWA.

The Democrats will have to shut it down after announcing this plan to blame Republicans. It will work, in that their activists in the media will report it with a straight face as "the Republican shutdown." But it will not fool typical voters.

Republicans have the majority in both houses, the Democrats will not only have shut it down themselves, but they will have to take extraordinary measures to do so, like a real filibuster. They will have to decide whether to complain about the shutdown, or proudly take credit for it.

My guess is that they will do both, and the media will spin it that way for them.

The majority of Americans want a smaller Government that actually helps citizens.

What Republicans are doing is making the government less efficient. Democrats refuse to allow the tax cuts for the rich at the expense of everybody else. Republicans will be blamed for it.

Well trump blames democrats for literally every one of his own bad decisions.

He'll blame Biden for todays falling stock prices by saying stuff like "This is Biden's doing, if he'd confronted Canada sooner in the way I am, we'd have gotten past these pain points" and other claptrap which uneducated hickbillies like you will applaud like performing seals.

This is what I see when I come to this forum and listen to magats, this is what I see when I watch republican votes at confirmation hearings and trump addresses to congress:

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Make the GOP own the budget.

If they can't pass it, then that is their fault.

Or they can compromise.

Won’t work.

Everyone knows the Dems are threatening a gov shutdown if the Republicans won’t give in to demands.

Any shutdown is on them.

GOP has the majority, so it is their failure if they don't pass the budget.

They will quickly pass it, unless Dems filibuster, so only complete idiots would believe that would be the Republican's’ fault.

They will filibuster if they want because it is their constitutional right to do so.

 

[Seymour Flops]

They will filibuster if they want because it is their constitutional right to do so.

And it will be the voters’ constitutional right to blame the filibuster participants when granny’s social security checks are delayed.

The democrats cant shut down the country. They dont have the votes.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Wait, the Dems can’t filibuster to shutdown the government! They hate shutdowns. Look:

Speaker Mike Johnson is pressing Democrats on a plan backed by President Donald Trump to avert a government shutdown.

I know it's really hard to follow for some people but Republicans were in the majority then and they are now. The dems couldnt shut down the economy back then, and they cant now. Only the Pubs can do that.

Fuckup

The republic party controls the congress. They don't need any Democratic support to pass their bills.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Republicans have the majority in both the House and Senate. Democrats can literally do nothing. Your circus, your monkeys.

Then there will be no shutdown?

So, the Democrats will NOT filibuster?
