The Democratic base is angry. Not just at Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the “Make America Great Again” movement imposing their will on Washington with remarkable speed.
According to a February Quinnipiac poll, about half disapprove of how Democrats in Congress are handling their job, compared with about 4 in 10 who approve.
How can even 4 in 10 approve? What is there to approve of?
There is no “doing their jobs well” or "doing their jobs poorly " - most of the Democrats in Congress aren’t doing their jobs at all.
I talked to one person and she now disapproves, but it was just that Schummer’s argument about shutdown was convincing to her.
My response basically was that Republicans are already shutting the government, and if they wanted a total shutdown they wouldn’t present any bill.
There was a clean CR bill to fund government for a month they could pass it and negotiate a proper bill.
If they would shut down, like in 2019 it would be on trump as he is in the office, and back then it took almost 30 days before Republicans caved. Shutdown would motivate more people going out on the streets IMO.
Now after Schummer and 9 other voted they codified the changes and even courts won’t be able to block those.

I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice

Suburban liberals. They’re basically Republicans but with a guilty conscience.
