Letting the government shut down is literally the only point of leverage the Dems have. This is them actually doing something for the first time in almost a year of Trump 2.0.
The alternative is just letting all the cuts the want to make in this budget go through uncontested in a complicit abdication to the fascist, patently betraying their constituency (even more than they already largely have).
I'll be out on the streets at my local protests this weekend to show solidarity with the Palestinians and to show we still are fighting for them.
I hope all of y'all will join me and everyone else. ✊
The United States is a 3rd world country with a Gucci belt dude. Richest country in the world but people don't have time to even sleep
I mention "independent studies" because people are insane and will call anything pro-China you say as just Chinese propaganda.
You're just talking out your ass here lmao. This is objectively not true.
China has better infrastructure. Better education. Better affordable healthcare (and they are rapidly about to eclipse the US in our capabilities). 90+% of Chinese people own their own homes. China is one of the safest countries in the world.
What freedom are you talking about? The freedom to die on the streets from preventable illness? The freedom to work 40+hrs a week and live out of your car because you are priced out of housing? The freedom to get shot at the grocery store because someone with a gun is having a mental episode? The freedom to get brutalized by an unaccountable police force?
What freedoms are you talking about?
Do you think a people who were living in poverty and had terrible living conditions would be overwhelmingly supportive of their government? Come on now think for a second here.
Compared to the robust system of democracy in the US where corporations buy elections and the average person never gets to see a single policy enacted that benefits them? Is that what you're comparing China to?
You say this like it's an own when it's actually China flexing on us.
That's funny because literally China is one of the countries with the highest approval of their government by independent studies.
So even if you're telling the truth the vast majority of the Chinese people disagree with your sentiment.
You got any sources for this or are you just racist?
China has more high speed rail than every nation on the planet combined. They have a much easier time traveling within their own country for very little money than say the US. Or do you think the rail is all just there for show?
Case in point here my friend - https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3327402/chinas-super-golden-week-forecast-spark-travel-boom-home-and-abroad
Pick any city in the Midwest and compare to any proportionally sized city in China. Like just about. Infrastructure is crumbling everywhere in this country while China has built more high speed rail than every other nation on the planet combined.
The priorities speak volumes.
We can make on hell on earth happen for them with enough support. Inshallah.
