And the Democrats have also made abundantly clear what the Republicans have to do in order to get their votes.

Hey, average web surfer here. I just want you all to know that I see posts like this and it is the message that I’m left with. I actually don’t know what the democrats or even people on the left are saying about this. I just see these posts. I think democrats are the reason the shut down is happening

The information is out there, maybe reconsider where you’re getting news from? Democrats are asking for healthcare to be protected, and are planning a vote for releasing the Epstein files. Republicans are opposing both.

Republicans are exclusively at fault because they have the speaker position AND a majority of members in both houses and can get back in business whenever. They just don’t have all their own members on board yet, so they need enough Democrats to join to reach a majority, and none will do it.

So Republicans are stuck with a majority they can’t use, and have to negotiate, and refuses to negotiate.

I’m just pointing out that it doesn’t matter if the information is out there. I’m a low watt fence sitting lefty. Like majority of people. If people hate Trump and wanted to do something about it then maybe recognize people like me aren’t reading stuff that isn’t in meme format. You get a few seconds of our time. But I appreciate the explanation i quickly skimmed.
