How I’m feeling after democratic lawmakers caved to the demands of republicans after a month of the government being shut down. Grow a backbone.

Not surprised by this sign, the democrats love to bring slang and Ebonics into politics

The only good way out for Dems was for republicans to cave and allow the ACA subsidies to be extended

It’s just crazy to me that not only have they basically signed the death warrant for affordable healthcare premiums, but that after a whole month of workers not getting paid, disruptions throughout the country, and the potential loss of food security for millions of Americans, they just… gave up on fighting for why the budget couldn’t be decided on in the first place

The alternative was to just roll over and let republicans not extend the subsidies without batting an eye

Idk if there’s a harder way to fight than using federal workers’ paychecks as leverage 😭

All I’m saying is that all of this effort was for nothing since they gave into the republican’s demands, and it’s sad to see how everyday, working-class people have suffered from it all

So by your logic we’re going backwards then, this is definitely why democrats should not be in power
