>> One thing to keep in mind in terms of shutdown or dirty CR is that our courts will shut down if the government shuts down I hope you are all aware of.

Yes, and the courts are already under #fascist control — any doubt about #SCOTUS?

#Democrats need to #fight. #fightBack.

There is going to be #trauma anyway — #Republican-inflicted or #Democrat-inflicted.

"MOVE FAST and BREAK THINGS" because the other side is breaking things faster, and you can't stop them. #GoBallistic.

>> #Republicans are shutting down the government department by department. #Appeasement never produces the desired result. If they are shutting things down piecemeal anyway, grow a spine. #GoBallistic

There you go…

"Elon Musk has wanted a #government shutdown in part because it would make it easier to eliminate the jobs of hundreds of thousands of federal workers… not about saving #money… but destroying a liberal power base”

⬆️ @Nonilex >> Senate #Democrats are facing a political dilemma over whether to support it & hand #Trump wide leeway to continue his assault on federal programs & workers, or oppose it & risk being blamed for a govt #shutdown.

@alexlubertozzi >> Dems shouldn’t collaborate with these #Nazi fuckers.

#Republicans are shutting down the government department by department. #Appeasement never produces the desired result. If they are shutting things down piecemeal anyway, grow a spine. #GoBallistic.

Yes, and I agree with you but only up to a point.

I am saying that sometimes #Democrats are their #ownWorstEnemy.

In the real world, it is #survivalOfTheFittest, not the crudest, meanest, or most virtuous.

Democrats seem unable to #AcknowledgeTheProblem that our survival is at stake. Moral absolutism is not going to help us survive.

Instead of #virtueSignaling, censuring and forcing party members to resign, we need to #GoBallistic and fight like out survival depends on that.

>> If TWO #Democratic presidents (#Obama and #Biden) — both of whom knew about Trump's #Russia connections — did nothing to save us, there is really nothing left that Democrats as a political party have to offer us.

The mantra should have been "When They Go Low…" … We #GoBallistic — right from the #Obama years.

When #Biden got a chance, he had bipartisan public support after #Jan6 #insurrection.

Yet, he chose #Garland as his AG and THEN cut off his balls 😡

>> The #KamalaHarris campaign is fighting on #Trump’s level – and it’s working

The new mantra is "When They Go Low, We #GoBallistic!"

That's the only way to keep Trump on the defensive.

#HarrisWalz campaign statements calling out Trump's lies & misdeeds are also very effective in showing the campaign is fighting back instead of being cowed down.

That instills confidence in people who want to support #Democrats but were previously turned off by apathy
