You’re right. The GOP wants to blame the democrats for the economy and dismantle the government at the same time.
A government shutdown would let them do both.
That’s probably why the bad actors on lemmy are pushing for a shutdown.
What sort of topsy turvy logic are you going for here? That the best way the Democrats can oppose the Republicans is by giving them exactly what they want and voting to confirm all their nominees and legislation? The Democrats have been close to useless as an opposition party so far, because they can't bring themselves to oppose anything in case it makes them look bad to Trump supporters.
Besides that, moderate lawmakers like Hickenlooper and Ossoff have come out against Schumer on this, alongside people like Sanders Warren AOC etc. Acting like this is just " bad actors on Lemmy " is nonsense.
If Warren, AOC, and Bernie bolt, Let's Do This.
The GOP is actively trying to dismantle the government.
A government shutdown is in itself a method of dismantling the government.
It’s literally giving the GOP what they want.
That’s not topsy turvy logic. That’s common sense.
THey’re going to do that anyway, make them grovel for it
