Dems wouldn't dare stand in the way of fascism I suppose.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Of course not. Putting up any resistance might upset their masters.
Come on Dems, this is like the house speaker vote. It's up to them to pass it. Don't give in to their messaging. In fact, be better. Do your own messaging.
Looks like the dems are planning to pass the Republican spending bill
That's not what the article says. Only 1 dem voted in favor in the house out of 214. A number of senate dems have come out against the CR, and more keep going that way. Plus Rand Paul has also said he'll vote no. For some reason, republicans aren't using reconciliation (which would only need a strict majority for budget bills) so it goes to the filibuster which requires 60 votes and thus 7 flips without republican defections, 8 if you count Ran Paul's pledged defection
Call you senator if they haven't said what they plan to do, floods of calls will matter here a lot
My guess is they're saving their reconciliation bill for something bigger than a continuing resolution. Congress as a whole is limited to just three a year, and only one of them can be about spending. Kicking the can down the road a couple months seems like a horribly inefficient use for reconciliation.
If they were smart id say this is some plan to make the dems responsible for the shut down and blame economic crashes on that.
That's my read. They don't actually care about shutting down the government, they just don't want to be the one responsible for it.
Yep. If the shut down does happen I'd bet money that federal workers aren't getting back pay when its over.
Thank you very much for the correction and additional context
As though there was ever any doubt.
Shut the bitch down, they wanted that didnt they?
