The question has been framed in the streets: is a government that impoverishes healthcare and nutrition, flouts the law, enriches its officials, imprisons babies, and kills its citizens worth the money it collects, much less the respect and obedience it demands?
Democrats have nothing to lose by shutting down the government to force the majority party to respond to these questions and the one that looms over all: what, if any, is the political and moral future of the US?
- Shut down the US government.
- Each state puts forth a new constitution elevating themselves to country status.
- Form a new North American Union (like the EU) with Canada as Daddy
- ???
- Profit
2 would mostly only happen in red states. The rest mostly know how to cooperate.
And you know that California doesn’t need Canada, even less when you consider the rest of the US west coast in with it.
And Mexico as Madre?
Claudia Sheinbaum is pretty cute. I’m in.
Some states have proven that, without federal intervention, they commit effectively govern themselves. Texas, for instance…
I could get behind that.
Probably better to form an analogy to the old European Coal and Steel Community rather than to jump directly into an EU equivalent, also bring Mexico in since without the US being a thing they’ll end up with the largest population on the continent.
I’m not smart politics, but I figured it’d be more complicated than a meme outline.
Everywhere could be better off without a government, not just the US.
This traitor isn’t coming to save us.
If you don’t feel like your representatives are adequately representing you (God knows I don’t), this is a good time to find a primary candidate to support (monetarily or with your time) - or even file to run yourself. Every house representative is up for reelection in November.
Shut it the fuck down until the weasels in the GOP actually have their arm twisted to engage with empathy. I’d be personally affected by a shutdown, but it’s a sacrifice I’d make for a long time if it means any kind of progress against the fucking fascist pedophile protectors in office.
No taxation without representation. We know Trump/ Elon / Putin hacked the election. This is NOT the will of the American people. Cut them off of our tax dollars. They want small government so bad, see what they can do without revenue from blue cities/ states.
My pet rock can run things better than Trump is doing.
Didn’t Schumer already cave? Or did I misread a headline?
IIRC, he’s starting negotiations in the middle and is eager to give up even more.
Man, I wish Democrats were the heartless, scheming, cut-throat, socialist maniacs that I was told they were growing up in a Republican household…
The country would be in much better shape if it were true…
Here’s the thing, they are, possibly even better than republicans, they’re taking the same corporate pro israel bribe money, they just didn’t also align themselves with the insane neo Nazis, Christian terrorists, and loudmouth idiots.
Propaganda from “liberal” media trying to calm you down. Fight.
every country is better off with no government
than the ones they haveIs this post about Obama?
