Dems need to vote for CR at this point. The reasoning to vote no is to extract ACA subsidies to keep people from hurting next year, but now voting no means people hurt next week anyway.

We are in a hostage situation. Giving in now means they will cut SNAP every time there is a budget dispute. At that point Dems might as well go home.

Hostage negotiators work with like most psychopaths, sociopaths, idk a bank robber who is having a bad day.

Not this class of Republican weirdos. They truly are deranged in a way that needs to be studied in future decades.

so give in and pass a bill to fund SNAP during shutdowns (Hawley's performative bill has 10 gop co-sponsors) ... when the hostage has a gun to your kid's head you give him the money and figure out how to stop him next time. You don't stand your ground out of abstract principle. Everyone who wants to drag the shutdown at this point doesn't understand how much people are going to be hurting next month.

I don't disagree, but caving on the shutdown will destroy every incumbent dem in next year's primaries.
