Looks To Me Like Dems Should Have Started Fighting Back At The CR

[gab13by13]

The Democratic House voted in lock step, save one member from Maine. Chuck Schumer kneecapped them and then went on Chris Hayes to state his strategy of letting Krasnov burn it all down and then beat them in the election.

Many people believed that Dems would be blamed for a shutdown. Many people believed that by giving Krasnov what he wanted would protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, that didn't happen.

Daughter is driving from Pittsburgh to Bethesda; she just saw a sign:

Cut Medicare & Medicaid
Who Needs Gram Anyway
with a picture of an old lady.

Should have fought them on inauguration Day.

Do Town Halls before they pass the Big Ugly Death Bill.

Time matters.

1. We learned from the Garland years to 'keep our powder dry'.

This is more of the same.

2. Look forward not backwards

So said Barack Obama in 2009, and we have kept right on keeping dry powder ever since.

3. Gave Krasnov his CR and got absolutely nothing in return.

Looks to me like a Dictatorship right now.

4. correct in assuming that Democrats would have been blamed

Rightly or wrongly, that was absolutely what the optics said - and what the public was going to take away. And - learned from the Rs that 'government shutdown' is really sh*tty messaging and bargaining chip. A fool's errand.

[question everything]

5. Look at all the Federal judges that blocked his cruel and vindictive acts. They would not have

had Schumer not prevented the shutdown which, for all we know might still be in effect.
