    It’s not the same outcome though. This one is pretty obvious. If you block the bill, government is stopped, can’t do anything. If you allow the bill, government gets more power to keep doing bad things. Doing nothing > doing bad things.

      government is not stopped. we have had government shutdowns and things keep going. non essential government as chosen by the executive arm of the government are shutdown. I have been through two or three shutdowns. everything is not shut down. I mean I have listed why its actually worse if its shut down in this particular scenario. there is not more to tell. it really does play into their favor and the only reason they would not want to overtly do it is optics.

        Ok who gives a shit. Doesn’t matter if it’s a full shutdown or only a 50% of the government shuts down or whatever. It’s a tool we’re denying the enemy.

        Doing nothing > doing bad things.
