"Working people are done with performative solidarity," said Rep. Delia C. Ramirez in response. "Either you stand with us against the Republican CR, or you stand with the Musk-Trump authoritarian agenda."
Citing what I saw on Philip DeFranco earlier, apparently in a shutdown the executive branch has a lot of power in terms of what specifics get shutdown and how.
Was news to me considering the shitshow that happens every time the budget needs to be voted on but with all the DOGEness going on makes sense that there’s extra caution around this. Still sucks that Dems rolled over so easily.
Plus it’s a great opportunity for dozens of trolls to push a republican narrative on social media. Maybe a message to anyone left-leaning to stop voting.
“I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option.”
What’s his reason for saying this? How does a government shutdown give Trump more power?

Nothing is stopping the republicans from shutting it down themselves if it was so beneficial to Trump.
And it’s not like they wouldn’t lie and blame it on the Democrats, so there’s minimal risk in voter agitation vs alleged reward.

When voting doesn’t change anything maybe it’s time to do something more?
As long as it’s more and not less.
Did we trying giving speeches at colleges?
We did. They got arrested for it.
Under a democrat. The greater evil is deportation, so we should all be happy with arrest.
