Just Think How Badly Republicans

are fighting to keep the government shut down in order to raise prices and destroy Obamacare.
That's really what it's all about. Profits for billionaire donors.

Anytime you hear 'Democrat Shutdown', Remember who is in the White House,
The House of Representatives, and the Senate.

They demand the government be 'reopened' on their terms so they can rob us all blind,
and blame it on Democrats.
FoxNews will blame it on Democrats.
Republicant voters blame it on Democrats.

We need to campaign on the fact that we won’t be making “deals”. We will be making international agreements and treaties not cheap ass grubby “deals.” When I hear him say deal, I think scam

All the other stuff such as laying off 10s of thousands of federal workers (targeting black workers),
lack of Congressional oversight on things like destroying the White House and building a ballroom,
project 2025 stuff, and starting a war on the people of Venezuela are just bonuses.
