"White House officials acknowledge that they must accept some spending cuts or strict caps on future spending if they are to strike a deal"

Dems conceding to republicans yet again

• no 14th amendment
• no clear messaging on how republicans will tank the economy
• allowing R’s to say “dems refuse to negotiate” without clear pushback
• shows Trump’s ultimatum holds power over dems

This is why I’ve never voted *for* a democrat even though I always vote blue. Weak.

@flexghost

I've stated this time and time again. Democrats are weak and feckless. They don't understand power, much less how to wield it. Yes, I vote for them because it's now just a pointless ritual, like wasting away in a church and pretending faith means anything.

@lednabm gotta be complicit. Who is this bad all the time?
