In reply to the discussion: NOW: Almost 100 people are outside the home of Senator Schumer. [View all]Tansy_Gold
(18,167 posts)45. It's been described as a Lose-Lose situation, but maybe that's not correct
Maybe it's more like a Lose-Everything, Lose-Less-and-maybe-win-a-little choice.
A vote FOR the CR that isn't really a CR at all and gives 💩 a whole lot more power is capitulation without a fight. No shut down, but no improvement in the present situation and a lot of other bad things. There's virtually nothing good in it.
A vote AGAINST the CR that isn't really a CR at all and does force a shut down means GOP has to own it, and GOP has to face the consequences. It represents a CHANCE at least to fight and stand up for what's right.
We/Dems should not be rescuing our enemies. Right now, the entire GOP is our enemy, the enemy of our Constitution.
Even doing nothing is a choice.
