US Government Shutdown

Also didn't the same thing happen in 2013? Nobody seemed to care this much and it got resolved eventually. Same case here.
 
It's really pathetic that both sides want to play this game. Funding the government should not be a partisan issue. It says allot about both sides.
 
Anytime the government shuts down they should mandate that every elected official be replaced within 18 months. I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. It's fucking pathetic and theres plenty of blame to go around.

Or... you know... just get rid of it all together, and solve the problem for good.
 
and you're saying this is a good way to win votes for whom?

It is not a good way period it's stupid but it will hurt the Dem's more than others, even those GOP has the majority the message is illegals over US citizens and military ....
 
trump is the one who rescinded daca. the gop are the ones who let chip expire. the republicans hold house, senate, and white house. this is their shutdown, make no mistake.

Need 60 votes.

I can personally say as a democrat with mostly democrat friends we are all very happy that the democrats stood firm and let the gop own this. It has made the democratic base excited.

Trump has the majority already. I thought he was the greatest deal maker in American history? Shouldn't have been that hard to cover the rest.

Yes, and the Trump news cycle is even faster than most so by the time elections roll around this will have little to no effect on either party IMO.

51 doesn’t equal 60. Few politicians are willing to cross a hard line when drawn.

Goes for both sides.

You don't care workers will go without pay and un able to pay bills, living expenses, ect... because the dem's stood firm and you're excited about this? GOP and the Dem's are full of shit and a lot of BS on both sides don't be so blinded.

I'm excited that the democrats didn't bend to the gop who let chip expire and who are ending daca. I am 100 percent in support of the chip program and daca. This was all started by the gop and it isn't democrats responsibility to clean up their mess by compromising on ideals. I am thrilled no funding for the wall was agreed to either.
 
Political grandstanding over a non budget issue should be criminal imo. The last shutdown changed an entire month for 800k federal employees. Same people get voted in. Feelsbadman.

Stood firm on what? This isnt a game.

Nobody wants to deport the illegal dreamers. I would deport them in a heartbeat over any slight to actual citizens but the republican loudmouths have all made it clear that they want them to stay.

This is on par with the upcoming womens march. You don't even know what the fuck you are standing for.

Stood firm on not funding the wall, on not accepting a deal without DACA. How hard is that to understand? We know why we are marching. Just because you don't doesn't mean you should assume everyone doesn't.

I don't believe any human being is illegal and I would never prioritize someone who was born in a certain place or does a certain job over another.
