If the Democrats cave on that, then fuck them too.
But as far as I’m concerned Trump just delivered an easy win for the Democrats - this is an easy out for Democrats to not cooperate with Republicans (obviously morally abhorrent demand) and shift the blame for the shutdown to the right.
The problem is that the ‘blame’ is determined by the media. The Dems can blame Republicans all they want, but if the big media players frame it as their fault, all the idiots not paying attention will fall right in line.
Remind us who owns the media again
Well it’s sure as shit not democratic politicians, so what exactly is your point here?
Billionaires own the media. the media will be blaming Democrats.
It’s a foregone conclusion
That’s my point. There’s absolutely no winning for the Democrats here, no matter the outcome. They’ll be blamed for shutting down the government and all the subsequent shit Trump breaks in the aftermath, or they’ll be blamed for ‘giving in’ and letting Obamacare die.
Yeah. Unless they somehow figure out how to use messaging effectively. But probably just tens of millions to run the same attack ad every break during Family Feud. As per normal.
