Comment

Americans are divided in who they blame more for the shutdown: In a choice between congressional Democrats and congressional Republicans, 32% blame Democrats most, 35% Republicans, and 28% both equally. Compared to when we asked this question in the October 17 - 20 Economist / YouGov survey, the share blaming mostly Republicans has fallen 4 percentage points and the share blaming both sides equally has gone up by 4 points.

Funny that you didn’t post the parts immediately before and after that snippet. Before:

A YouGov survey released Friday found 32 percent of respondents blame Democrats for the shutdown, while 35 percent fault Republicans and 28 percent say both parties are equally responsible.

After:

But over the past month, net approval for how parties are handling the shutdown has worsened for both President Trump (-21 to -27) and congressional Republicans (-23 to -27). Net approval for congressional Democrats has stayed low but mostly unchanged (-25 to -26) since October, according to YouGov.

You’re just hyper-focusing on the part that you find rhetorically convenient. More people still blamed the Republicans and support for the Republicans’s handling of the shutdown was falling faster.

A shutdown, furthermore, that most voters were against to begin with.

Lmao did you just provide more evidence to undermine your own position?

Who would you blame more if there is a shutdown of the federal government at the end of the month, the Democrats in Congress, Donald Trump and the Republicans in Congress or both equally? Or have you not heard enough to say?

Democrats in Congress 19%

Donald Trump and the Republicans in Congress 26%

Grow a spine.

  “More people blamed the Republicans, but most people are not in support of the shutdown and the numbers for the Dems are worsening”
  
  Yes, clearly this contradicts what I initially commented.
  
  Go back to remedial literacy. Get a passing grade this time, if you can understand which of the funny symbols that is.

  I’m sorry that you’re illiterate.

  Grow a brain, or a sense of morality. But pro-genocide bootlickers like you revel in the deaths of minorities, if only it’s done by the fascists wearing the right team colors. That’s why you deny the Uyghur Genocide, after all.

    Looked in a mirror lately?
    
    I don’t support any genocide, the way you do.

    This you, denialist bootlicker?

    You’re right, because I don’t support genocide. We are clearly very far apart on that matter.
    
    Sorry that I’ve been calling out Palestinian genocide for over a decade. I know that’s terribly inconvenient for bootlickers like you who desperately want others to be your mirror image. I’m sorry that my position on genocide isn’t determined by team colors.
