A Shutdows Democrats Might Not Want

Though they desperately need a win, shutting down the federal government is a big risk.

Feb 14, 2025

What’s happening: The United States government will run out of funding on March 14 unless Congress passes a spending bill. Both sides are already gearing up for a fight, but Democrats are not entirely sure if waging a battle right now is in their interest.

A government shutdown won't stop DOGE- Elon is working for free! A shutdown will only emphasize their great work. Folks should keep in mind that when a swamp is drained, there will be some innocent creatures harmed, but it's for the greater good!

Democrats do not understand "for the greater good!"

Bring on the shutdown as it will only highlight further all the wasteful spending in D.C., particularly the past 4 yrs., There's a reason Trump is cutting 200K probationary federal employees. But of course as we all know it goes much deeper than that. It's the ridiculous expenditures of anything and everything (LGBT, blah, blah, blah,) for example. It's about finding out where all this money has gone, seeing that it obviously has not gone to anything useful on behalf of our countries interests. It's about finding out why, politicians who receive ($150-$200K) salaries a year are worth multi-millions of dollars, hundreds of millions in some cases, right Nancy P. along with (Waters, Schumer, Warren, Sanders) and many others. Exposure is great, but it means nothing if there is no accountability in the end. That is the only way we truly drain the Swamp and never have to worry about the insultingly absurd "government shutdowns" again..

The democrats have no power to do anything meaningful. Better they should focus on taking non-DEI classes and getting their leadership to dump all the crazy progressives. Depory omar. etc...

Dem popularity is at an all-time low. There is no way they will shut down the government.
