Impressed they haven’t caved but they’ve been shit at capitalizing on this. Every single dem politician should be out there saying “we are doing this so the GOP doesn’t gut Medicaid. As soon as they take that out the budget we are ready to sign”. That is a 100% winning message Americans would get behind and they haven’t really done it.
I think it’ll be really easy for them to recursively blame the other side for the shut down. ‘They want you to die from hunger just so the illegals will get out of jail’. It’s a willing populace, we are dumb as shit
Exactly. We can say the people are too dumb to notice, but none of us were born with this knowledge. It’s the job of the organized left to spread this knowledge. Something I myself I admit I need to get better on.
I think this week’s election results show that people aren’t really buying the bs right now. Mamdani centering class issues in his campaign instead of identity has forced both Democrats and republicans to react in a way that is likely to be electorally devastating to Republicans.
Also impressed with the dems here ngl. The fall will always be the administration’s, first and foremost.

The average American may be dumb but it’s almost always the party in charge that gets the blame when things are bad.
The issue is they don’t carry that past the next election or connect the dots enough to realize the true cause of most of their issues is capitalism.
Our job is to help connect the dots

“You’ve surely noticed that something like this has happened every day of your life, for several decades now…”
