Thursday marks the 30th day of the federal government shutdown and the American public has grown more concerned about the shutdown throughout the month and more disapprove of how Donald Trump is handling the federal government, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.
More Americans blame Trump and the Republicans in Congress than the Democrats for the shutdown, the poll finds.
It feels hopeless, the aca will just be refunded and ERs will be full of uninsured debt ridden sick people. I remember having to go through that, please not again
People in red states still have to go through that. Democrats don’t care at all.
EDIT: If they cared, they would have revisited the public option or attempted to close the loophole that lets red states opt out of medicaid expansion when they had a majority. They got theirs, so they don’t give a shit.
That’s not the democrats fault. That means the people voted for Republicans and chosen not to expand medicaid. Vote out the Republicans denying you Healthcare if that matters to you.
They didn’t pursue it at all during the most recent majority. Yes, it absolutely is their fault for not even trying at all.
My only hope is that democrats on the national level will stop being useless on purpose some day. My state is run by republicans and their opposition is more concerned with opposing progressives in primaries than winning general elections. I have no choice but to count on democrats to keep their campaign promises.
Since I deserve to go bankrupt and die for being outnumbered, according to you.
I don’t disagree with you that democrats need to be doing more. But when half of the country seems committed to tearing the country apart, passing multiple pieces of meaningful legislation (don’t forget things like Build Back Better) sadly feels like a high bar.
And I apologize for the accusatory tone, I know that’s not something directly in your control. But let’s also be honest, the Republicans are the ones preventing Healthcare expansion in your state, democrats may not be perfect, but they’re not the ones holding power in your state.
Oh, I haven’t forgotten about how democrats gutted build back better of any tangible individual benefit except for 10 discounted drugs for boomers who already got theirs.
Not accepted. You are fine with me suffering as long as you’re comfortable.
And I deserve it because I’m outnumbered. Democrats doing nothing to rectify the problem their overcomplicated half measure caused is my fault because I’m from a red state so I deserve bankruptcy and death.
They had power at the national level. They chose to help netanyahu with that power instead, since it’s their only fucking priority.
