1. The far right will keep using this threat unless/until they deem in unprofitable. n/t

2. I chose giving in to extortion is worse

Even though Im on Social Security and will be in a very bad way next month.

3. One way or another - we'll all be in a bad way!

[RC]

4. The losers are still trying to get control. (Pun intended)

That is all this is. A suicide bus driver, on a full bus, intent on doing the most damage he can, before crashing.

5. Giving in is worse.

They would just use this again and again.

6. The GOP will continue this insanity until we stand up to them and make it stop working for them.

The exact reason it's come to this bat-shit insane point is because the GOP has been pushing the envelope for 30 years, and for 30 years the Dems have been enabling it with one compromise after another, under the deluded narrative that the GOP is somehow negotiating in good faith.

What we're witnessing is the Dems finally unable to pretend that the GOP are behaving reasonably, and the GOP simultaneously unable to comprehend dashing up against a Democratic opponent who is suddenly no longer willing to capitulate.

We have to break them. Until we do, it will just get worse and worse.

7. Sparing the rod.

The TP needs a spanking.

8. I chose default because a majority of those on social security live check to check

and have little in savings. Defaulting would cause them to be unable to pay any bills or even go food shopping to me that's unacceptable. Hold the line at all costs sounds great until you calculate the people it hurts
