For Sweet, the feelings of frustration are only compounded by a feeling that she was betrayed by the Democratic-aligned senators who broke with the party on the health care subsidies.
She said that she understands that many workers were desperate for a paycheck. But she thought standing firm on the issue of the health care subsidies was worth her sacrifice.
“There are other federal workers who understood what we were holding the line for and are extremely unhappy that line was crossed and that trust was breached,” she said.
The DNC needs to go.


What sacrifice? Did they volunteer not to work? Fuck I hate this goddamn country. The people are stupid, the news outlets are prop machines and the very core of our government is run by morons, the elderly and sociopath Nazis.
eat shit
i personally know people that suffered over this
Fuck you. I didn’t say people didn’t suffer. I didn’t say I was happy about it. I didn’t say anything like that, but you fucks on this goddamn platform have the reading comprehension skills of a tree stump.
imagine knowing all those things then feeling the need to still posted the drivel you have
you are a fucking garbage human
They went 40+ days without a paycheck, many were required to work regardless of that fact and so were unable to get side gigs. You are either a troll or one of the morons you speak of.
I imagine the previous poster’s point is that the federal workers might be victims, but they couldn’t make a sacrifice becuase sacrifice is a willing choice one makes. The workers may have suffered, but they didn’t make any sacrifice here becuase it wasn’t their choice.

Just because they didn’t decide to start the shutdown themselves doesn’t mean it wasn’t a sacrifice. You are being so absurd that I am now certain you are a troll. Good day.
