(#5354) Republicans don't have the votes for their agenda so shutting down the government is their tantrum.

      If you are new to how republicans operate here is a short primer. They look for nefarious shortcuts. There is no other way for them since they are the minority party. They are good at manipulating elections to get what little power they hold but not any good at governing. Hence the looming government shutdown. One of the main reasons for the shutdown is because they are against "woke". Which means enlightened to new ideas that work for everyone over old ideas that only keep people oppressed. So once again we have a situation where republicans are threatening to harm many so that they can try to blackmail the will of the people. No such luck this attempt either since the rest of us have already been harmed by this republican tactic in the past.
     But we must not let them get away with it easily. There will be many millions who will not be paid their weekly wages such as federal workers and military service persons. Those of us vast majority who live paycheck to paycheck are under extreme duress over tantrums like this that republicans hope to turn into their advantage. Well I say that every person who doesn't get their paycheck for services and labor they have already given then the republican party should not get one vote from these folks going forward in the next election. It isn't just the workers who get the shaft from republicans on this. It is the families, the wives, husbands, sons and daughters who will not get what they timely need.
     All because the republican party in the House and some in the Senate have made it their goal to harm America whenever they cannot politically steamroll the will of the people. I personally would never vote for a political party that sought to harm me instead of help me. Neither should any American. So what happens when the dust settles on all of this and the republican party finally relents and produces a budget to keep our government open is clear to me. Many will be set back into defaults that republicans caused and will have to struggle harder to get back to where they were before the republican tantrum they were forced to endure. Why put ourselves through this by voting for republicans? They seem to think that they are the bosses of us and we not the bosses of them. Let's remind them that we are their boss come November 5th 2024.
