"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 Same here. I’ve been voting blue but I always contend that D is weak, scared and naive.

@normalguy then we all bust our ass at the grassroots level. trying to convince people to vote for these worthless individuals. They spend millions on consultants and pat themselves on the back for a job well done thinking their strategy is working.
