yeah fuck them polls

i don’t “blame” republicans

i watched them do it and i think they should come to harm for their actions that we watched them do

the blame part isn’t a question, it’s more about how we serve them

The polls are kinda dumb, and at the end of the day it kind of is both at fault-- and ya know what, honestly it’s to be expected and in some cases, probably for the best. We haven’t had a functioning government in a while and at least this way, ICE doesn’t even get paid (although they’re essential workers, for some reason, so they get back pay if we ever go back to funding).

My only beef with Dems here is… why healthcare? There’s a thousand and one better ways to message this shutdown, but no, we’re going to go with Biden era subsidies set to expire. Is it because it’s something they think will have legs with a GOP compromise? It sure as hell doesn’t resonate with the base that sees fascism before our very eyes.
