Who wants to bet the shutdown will end right before SNAP payments are missed?

red states republicans would starve to death and in their dying breath say 'eff them democrats'
Incorrect.

They'd be more angry at republicans than anything.

Republicans have all the power and have passed or repealed multiple laws. And yet cant concede 1 or 2 things to the Dems? Too much greed.

When people are scared, they'll do anything you tell them.

When people are mad, they fight back.

I think this is the Dems chance to screw Republicans.

If they refuse to cave, the loss of those SNAP benefits are gonna hit the Republican base HARD.

Next election would be damn near too easy for dems because the current administration would be seen as the party the doesn't care for the well being of the people.
It's not necessarily to screw Republicans or they would have asked for a laundry list of shyt to open the government back up.

There is a fiscal cliff that is going to hit regular people with Healthcare if subsidies among other things are not restored. People take for granted how much of even regular employer-paid plans are subsidized by the government. You will see hospitals, clinics, non-profits, smaller insurers, etc all close because the healthcare money won't be there. Old folks on the streets because they don't have the funds OR because their nursing home closes because it's not getting Medicaid payments. Democrats are doing the right thing holding out because there are far-out consequences, and there are riot-in-the-street in the next calendar year consequences. Let healthcare subsidies take down peoples ability to live outright and kill other things (all the benefactors of health insurance like specialists, chiropractors, message therapists, etc) and you will have the kinda shyt that takes decades to rebuild, fukk fixing it.

Eh, there are states that have been run be Republicans for decades that still get constituents to be mad at Dems. A MAGAT from Arkansas will vote GOP because a couple of trans kids in Ohio ran track. Thats how stupid they are.

Thursday or Friday, trump will make himself the "hero" to end the shutdown. He'll use the nuclear option or whatever it's called.

37% of SNAP benefactors are White, most of them likely in red states, while 26% are Black..

That's some 30-40 million people, many of whom voted for him, the remainder who didn't vote for him will also see him as the "hero". Many of those in this group don't care about politics, but will think "trump cool with me"

Meanwhile the govt workers will continue to work unpaid.
The rich got their tax breaks, they ain’t giving it up without riots at their doorsteps

Just a reminder. Some health insurance companies have already send out the new premium prices …

to the people that are saying the HI companies don’t want it either don’t know how economics work. It’s the same with snap. The supermarkets will loose money.. no they are just going to raise the prices and same thing for HI. They are going to raise the price to make up for the people that cancel.

everyday on thecoli I’m reminded why trump one, Jesus.

Americans in the end won’t win it’s that simple. Either the dems cave and people will pay 3x their amount. Or they hold firm and some people will starve.

If he wants to win some points he will wait until tomorrow and go back on his word and use the emergency fund that is meant for situations like this. But in the long run this won’t help if the the shutdown keeps being in place. Let’s not forget a large people havent been paid and are struggling heavy
