That's exactly what Republicans want. They've already proven previously that the people don't actually care about a shutdown occurring. And that just lets t hem further reduce government expenses. The things that get shutdown are things they can't grift from anyway so they don't care about them.

    It's a lose/lose, but at this point the fascist-controlled agencies are actively working against their intended purposes, so losing in the way that shuts down the government is the lesser evil.

    Standards are low. We can easily do better if we break these legacy political parties duoopoly on the electoral system.

    Okay, but that's not going to happen by October or whenever the funding deadline is.

    You gotta have a plan that's actually actionable in the short term, or else you're just indulging in pointless wankery.
