Shutdown would have been just fine

No, they won't. Most of the welfare extensions already happened.

It shuts down nonessential government programs

@Deleted User hot take

Why do we even have those anyway?

Trump would not survive an eight month government shutdown.

Why 8 month?

Dems would cave sooner than that

Because we would never get a new budget passed.

Yeah we would dems would cave in

Plus, the House and Senate already caved. The blame shifted to the Republicans at that point, giving the Democrats a strategic advantage.

People would realize that nothing bad happens in a shut down

We'd gain more than loose

As such, the Republicans in the Senate would cave again, and then the House would be unable to pass an even more far-left budget.

Haha

Yep

Sadly accurate

If we had people that didn't care about winning and just passed good bills

We'd all be fine!

Protip

Passing a good bill is actually winning.

Passing a bad bill is losing (for the ruling party)

Passing a bad bill is winning _for the opposition_.

You know what?

I'm going to think this is 5D Underwater Batgammon.

Because if I don't, I have no place to go.

I can't go back to comfy town.

@Pielover19 Join the Klan

Because I took the red pill.

So I have to trust Donald Trump.

We need to repeal the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.

And yep.

Trust god.

5D Batgammon isn’t enough for this shit

It's either Neocon or the Klan

We've got nothing else we can do.

We can only win the midterms.

@Pielover19 Buddy, I say this a friend, Trump betrayed us

You need some 20D transdimenionsal chess
