This is always what the media does.

Yet another example of how either way on an issue democrats are screwed
u/Ok_Bodybuilder800

Im not saying they should roll over. They will be harshly criticized if they do that. Im saying that regardless of what they will do they will be decimated. Happens every time
u/Ok_Bodybuilder800

I agree with this messaging
u/Ok_Bodybuilder800

Oh it could get worse. Whenever Dems decide to do something its always oh no, not like that!
u/Ok_Bodybuilder800

Dont underestimate the right wing echo chamber reaching those who just dont follow politics closely (which is a large number of people)
u/Ok_Bodybuilder800

Nah, just years and years of the same cycle repeating itself
u/Ok_Bodybuilder800

Im saying no matter what the democrats do it will be their fault and they will take the blame. If they shutdown look at those democrat obstructionists! Any subsequent effects of the shutdown (if the White House does mass firings, economic impacts, etc) will be placed on them. If they dont shut down democrats caved! Weak losers!
u/Ok_Bodybuilder800

Im sure whatever they decide do they will be blamed and punished accordingly
u/Ok_Bodybuilder800

Id argue they can still do that without shutting down the entire government. Dont get me wrongSchumer is an awful leader and needed to have been replaced ages ago. I just see it as a no win situation with an awful outcome regardless of what happened. And we wouldnt have been in this awful position if people had voted in November. Ugh. And it wouldnt be the democrats if difficulty wasnt added to their lives.
