That’ll teach them

    1. I’m surprised they’ve held out this long. These old fossils probably think that they’re providing a solution, when they’re really part of the problem. For all the years that they’ve been in office, one would think that they would be better at politics.

      At this point, I’m basically saying fuck it and let just suffer. Everyone getting screwed because this isn’t about democratic or Republican. Its about classism

    3. I know it’s easy to be mad or disappointed that they will seemingly give in, but as a family of 6 that relies on a paycheck from a federal job, in which we’ve already missed two and a partial paychecks and had to tap into our retirement, I don’t know how much longer we could have held out. Trust me, you’d be surprised how many people blame this on republicans. Even people I would have never expected. The optics are really bad for the GOP but people have to eat.

    4. Trump will probably still keep SNAP suspended even after the government opens up. Why trust ANYTHING the Group of Pedophiles (GOP) say?

      The Democrat strategy proved to be a winning one on Election Day this past week. Fitting that they’d see those positive results and completely backslide

    6. Yep. The best thing they had going for them was this shutdown. Day over day it turned people against trump or at the least his cabinet.

      But again Dems don’t care about actually combating him or his policies- they want business as usual which will never involve us. Their donors have bled and they are there to lick the wound.

    7. Astounding how consistently they can choose the losing option.
      Almost like they are getting paid to ALMOST resist.

      If the Democrats want any hope of success in the midterms, they need to walk away from this shutdown with something meaningful.

      They need to show that they are capable of more than catering to the every whim of the GOP.

      And all this will do is give the republicans ammo to say “see, it was the democrats all along!!!”

      The democratic party needs to be dissolved and replaced with one that actually stands up for the people.
