Should the government shut down? [View all]

It is a government that is not working for the people, it is working for the billionaires and oligarchs. It is working great for the Trump family.

But, if the government shuts down, it will be blamed on the Democrats. That is the nature of the media in this country. They always take the side of the corporations and the billionaires. They always have. Now, moreso than ever.

So there is no good decision. Democrats are damned if they do and damned if they don't. But, if they choose not to shut down the government, what is the best way to do that?

In my opinion, they should inform the American people over the next few days, why they are thinking of shutting down the government. They should list their grievances. The present government is simply not acceptable to the Democratic Party or to the majority of people in this country.

The majority do not want a dictator. They do not want their right to free speech prohibited. They do not want their healthcare taken away or having to pay huge increases in their premiums. They do not want masked agents taking innocent people off their streets. The people want unity over division.

If the Democrats do not plan on shutting down this "government", then they should explain why?:
