    you can always just vote no on bills

    It’s really not that simple. That would be a Republican wet dream to be able to market the Dems that shut down the government with a no vote on spending bill.

      How so? Democrats already voted no on the shitty Republican fantasy spending bill just the other day. All they have to say is “They wanted us to vote on this bill without being able to even read it.” and I don’t think the Republican argument would hold up outside of the people who would be mad no matter what.

        How is this story remotely comparable to shutting down the government? Most people who even hear about this incident will forget about it before the day is over.
