    With ending the filibuster on the table, I’m pleasantly surprised Schumer hasn’t thrown in the towel in order to protect it.

        The cunts in the death cult won’t budge, so this is how they show that they’re coming to the table repeatedly as a show of good faith.

        This is how you operate against an obstructionist, and it’s working since Trump’s GOP is getting all the shutdown blame

          Not all the blame, there’s still something like 40% who blame Democrats and always will no matter what.

            Trump’s GOP is receiving most of the blame, by most normal folks

            But you’re correct there’s a certain percentage of “tricked voters” who believe the party who controls all three branches of the government, taking away their rights and safety nets aren’t “to blame”

            I don’t take seriously the opinions of anyone General Sherman would have set on fire

              Well, unfortunately those people vote religiously. And there are tens of millions of them.

                  You mean in NYC and NJ? Two places that were notoriously not part of the Confederation?

                  Virginia is promising, but they’ve always been on the borderline when it comes to north/south division.

                    Yeah I mean West Virginia was literally formed because they didn’t want to secede along with the rest of the Commonwealth. It’s kind of ironic that WV is deep red and VA is bluish-purple now.

                    When we are talking about Sherman, the first thought goes to Georgia which was a win for the left. I believe this is what the commentor above was referencing.

          Democrats need to spend money getting this message out to the people. It’s tough when the media is owned by conservatives, but Dems need to find a way to communicate more effectively to get through to the places that don’t see these posts.
