The longer I've watched democrats and republicans function, the more it looks like Republicans are the bus that Democrats are throwing America under.

That's the default setting for Democrats in every situation, until there's a whiff of class solidarity in the air. Then the Democrats suddenly become the most powerful force imaginable, able to tank campaigns and careers with a phone call.

Now is the time to shut it down. Republicans are hugely unpopular right now.

"There's nothing we can do!"

-Democrats as they rubber stamp a fascist agenda

Fucking Christ! You don't have leverage? Withholding your fucking votes is leverage! Let it shut down.

Yeah it's Trump's fault if it shuts down too. They always blame the president so I don't see the issue. Also the government has been doing horrible things lately so it should be shutdown for as long as possible. Maybe 4 years

Brave Sir Robin ran away. Bravely ran away away.  When danger reared it's ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled.

Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about  And gallantly he chickened out. Swiftly taking to his feet, He beat a very brave retreat.  Bravest of the braaaave, Sir Robin!

I've said this before (fucking search my comment history if you dare), Both parties are two sides of a shit sandwich (yes, the republicans are the side where the actual turn is in). We need a 3rd party to compete, and actually organize to push both of these parties out. Won't be overnight, but we can -- and should, do it.
