Who owns the shutdown is meaningless when your check doesn't arrive, your EBT is bone dry and your baby is crying. But hey, as long as people who didn't vote for Trump hate Trump, it's cool. They can eat dandelions and drink pine needle tea to survive until November 2020 I am sure. Pine needles are rich in Vitamin C. That is basically the same thing as orange juice.

I am aware of that. Come February, however, there will be no more SNAP and no cash welfare payments. Those cash payments are how they do things like buy diapers, pay utility bills etc. If your princess doesn't cave by the 30th, your party is going to see massive blowback. Nobody is going to care who "owns" the shutdown. They are going to care that the democrats aren't doing shit to get it resolved.

I'm sure you're well aware that a good lot of SNAP recipients are not (D) voters; some statistics show that 25% of our military families (who seldom vote (D)) receive benefits. Many others live in the South, or rural areas, and are white. In other words, your hope that it will be mostly (D) voters who will become angry when their benefits are cut off is not based on facts.
My hope is that Nancy does what is right, but so far she continues to do what is wrong. There is no way to know how military people vote, especially considering most are neither party registered. Nobody has said a thing about race except you--guess that class warfare card is hard to put away. California has more people on welfare than some states have people, so your po white southern trash card is meaningless. In the mean time, Trump has offered to try to negotiate a resolution. Nancy and Chuck have not.
There only offer was to fund everything except customs and border so they could continue to stonewall without compromising. Now they will either have to compromise or pay the political price. In the mean time tick tock on the Ginsberg clock. The more the dems alienate the POTUS, the more radical right wing her replacement will be.
Ask the American people if 250 miles of wall in the most high traffic areas is acceptable to them as that is all the POTUS is asking for. Ask the American people if reuniting families is acceptable to them. Ask Americans if providing better healthcare to sick immigrants arriving on our borders from Hillary's Honduran Hell Hole is acceptable to them. If the answer is no, no, and no, the democrats will have a leg to stand on.....well except Tammy Duckworth.....
