Democrats can choose between voting for the bad CR and fixing things later, or shutting down the government, risking having it never re-open — what Musk wants. Repudiate the bill, demand changes, but don’t fall for the trap and also be blamed for it.
@davetroy FFS....so Spineless.
Fund the government so they can dismantle it with legal cover. They will destroy every part of the government, but Democrats won't get 'the blame' ....
All of those who's lives will be destroyed will feel much better knowing the democrats are blameless.
@davetroy@toad.social@JoeGrowling that has nothing to do with it. If the government is shut down, it will not reopen; and that's Musk's goal.

@davetroy @JoeGrowling if they really want a government shutdown, that's easy. Just don't even propose a funding bill in the first place. Maybe they have slightly better optics by offering a dead deal to start with, but eventually they will feel the pressure when it becomes clear they aren't actually trying.
Meanwhile, the American public gets to feel where MAGA plans to take us with no time to get used to it. The longer that lasts, the longer it will sink in how bad that is.
Finally, in the long term, no funding = no army, no border control, nothing. Even the most nihilistic Republican still wants that.
