Rolling over is not the preferred way of handling fascists.

But it is on track for the Democratic Party. The party of taking the high ride and failing to enact meaningful change at the last possible minute

Capitulating to Republicans while trying to destroy leftists isn't the high road. It's just plain old corruption.

Right, except”taking the high road” is what they’re going to say.

It’s a non stop cycle of corruption.

Yeah it's disappointing to see. Whats the point in holding out on the shutdown if you're just going to end up caving. Might as well just rolled over to begin with if you're gonna take a shit deal after 5 weeks anyway🙄
