Kind of hard to say the Democrats are much better when they just pissed away a massive bargaining chip by not voting against that funding bill. Or how more and more democrats have decided to abandon trans rights to appeal to fascists.
There are good democrats who voted against the funding bill, who are still trying to protect my rights. But part of the both sides argument is true.
Where was the bargaining chip? Don’t shut down the gov, and the Rs win. Shut down the government, and doge and the pres win, and the rest of the Rs are still pretty happy.
They didn’t have to do either, there was a resolution to fund the government for another month on last year’s funding bill until something could be drafted that would pass.
A resolution that was legitimately doable? I didn’t hear about that. At its best it sounds like kicking the can down the road a month.
