Summary
With a government shutdown looming, Democrats are debating whether to use it as leverage against Trump’s sweeping federal cuts.
Some argue withholding support for a funding bill could challenge Trump’s radical restructuring, including mass firings and agency shutdowns.
The GOP-controlled Congress must secure Democratic votes to pass a funding bill, but hard-right demands complicate negotiations.
Concerns grow that Trump may exploit a shutdown to sideline federal agencies, raising fears that this could be the most disruptive shutdown yet.
We are discussing the post, which is about Democrat support or not of a government shutdown. You don’t have to participate in that discussion, but THAT’S THE DISCUSSION.
Yes, your conclusion that this is a “lose/lose” for the Democrats is incorrect. I explained why in my comment. If you dont want to defend that position that’s fine. You’re under no obligation to respond to me or support what you say, but I’m clearly participating in the same discussion.
