(6,077 posts)I am not convinced that it is correct either. Again, I think both options are terrible.
But I do not consider it capitulating. I consider it getting out of the way as their shit hits the fan.
This administration has thrown a bunch of knives into the air. I don't want the Democrats trying to catch them. Some of them are already having an impact but most won't really be felt for the next 2-6 months. There will be backlash.
We are in a race against time to turn the American people against their actions to the point where they have to stop. The only question is how much damage they get done before any further push becomes unpalatable. Frankly, I think that is why they are rushing. Putting us in a position to take some blame for a painful shutdown will only slow down that turning point.
