General Discussion

in this thread remains unchanged, in that the idea of Democrats being 'responsible' for people starving and not getting paid' is a decidedly right wing narrative.

Trump himself keeps repeating it. The notion that Democrats shut down the government. Bullshit.

REPUBLICANS control the House, and shutdown the government, rather than even entertain the ACA extension. TRUMP refused to meet with Democrats. And when Democrats offered a compromise measure to get the government open, REPUBLICANS refused to even consider it.

The shutdown ended for the same reason it began. Because Democrats CARE, NOT Republicans.

Republicans never, at anytime, gave a flying FUCK about who didn't get paid, or who starved. Even filed SUIT, in court, to KEEP people starving,

though doubtful many in MAGA-land would be chastising them for THAT.

Nope. They'll leave the recriminations to us. As usual.
