Summary
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar insist Democrats should demand major concessions if they help Republicans avoid a government shutdown.
With a narrow three-seat majority, Republicans need Democratic votes to pass a spending bill, but progressives argue the GOP must “sort themselves out” first.
They oppose Republican efforts to slash corporate taxes and gut federal agencies.
Concerns remain that even if Democrats secure agreements, the Trump administration might ignore them. Some moderate Democrats agree that Republicans must take responsibility for funding the government.
The Republicans have been shutting down the government for less for as long as I can remember. If you can’t shut it down when shit getting real that’s just pathetic.
No compromise. Shut it down.
I find it humorous that when the Dems are the opposition party, they still try to govern…lol
I mean the GOP will need Democrat help to pass a budget.
my sweet summer child, budgets haven’t occured in the united states for nearly 3 decades…we live quarter to quarter with continuing resolutions
In working democracies that’s how it’s supposed to work. That’s why it’s called opposition not obstruction.
The balance to this is that all parties should be responsible while in the opposition and the party in government shouldn’t try to reform the state according to medieval principles. And this is why American democracy is broken.
Democrats have never been opposition, they’ve always been collusion
The Dems are done. The only candidate they could forward was drunken Kamala Harris, and before that Old Pedophile Joe Biden. Who will they throw in front of the bus next, Hunter Biden?
