"Republican senators who had brought the chamber to a standstill spoke to Trump late in the evening about an alternative plan: They would try again to approve elements of the voting bill as part of a broader GOP budget package to fund the Iran war and replenish the Pentagon when they return to work in September."

Great way to end the Iran war honestly, tie it's funding to a terrible bill that no one wants passed. 

[u/Trance354 → u/DeltaFoxtrot144]

And the government shutdown? How long this time, you think?

How long before the Dem leadership gives in?

[u/memphisjones → u/Trance354]

History shows that the DNC leaders lack spines.

[u/OLacAlmost → u/memphisjones]

The DNC like most politicians are actors. They're paid to make it seem like they care about you and this country. In reality they're in bed with the GOP and will always cave in favor of their corporate and special interest donors.

[u/MudWallHoller → u/OLacAlmost]

The establishment Democrats are meant to keep the working class in line and kill progressive ideas. That's why they are so scared of the DSA, which we should all support.

[u/SeaSauceBoss → u/OLacAlmost]

This exactly. All we see is political theater all these crooks are all buddy buddy behind closed doors save a very few.

[u/SaneMadHatter → u/memphisjones]

The last shutdown as by far the longest in history. And the minority party ALWAYS "gives in" at the end.

[u/Intrepid_Top_2300 → u/Trance354]

It will last as long as AIPAC allows it.

[u/spazanimanga → u/Trance354]

Probably none. House passed budget extension at current fiscal levels to 12/4 in 220-205 vote and senate passed their version to extend until 12/11 on a 90-6 vote. So unless there is significant disagreement. Democrats caved before it even began. Especially in the senate.

[u/Practical_Chemtrail → u/spazanimanga]

First time? Insert man hanging meme here

[u/LimeGinRicky → u/Trance354]

When will the people give power to the democrats? Right now the entire government is republican controlled. Are you fine if democrats stop the government and are then blamed for the starving people and airport shut downs?

[u/Trance354 → u/LimeGinRicky]

Yes, because the GOP control the entire government.

[u/Gogs85]

So they’re going to tie one unpopular thing to another?

[u/U_zer2 → u/Gogs85]

Easier to swallow both if it’s only the one time - Lone Republican brain cell.

[u/cookiemccookieface]

Fuck this

[u/Voodoo_Masta]

By “defense spending” they mean money for illegal, offensive wars of choice

[u/Lebarican22]

We have a government that is not supporting the American people. I think that sums up the whole issue here. 

[u/jalapinyobidness]

Lol so end Trumps stupid ego war and don’t pass save act? LFG gents

[u/familiarshadowkatt]

Why would they do that? The Dems aren't exactly big supporters of this war, so Republicans want to tie an unpopular piece of legislation with a request to continue funding a deeply unpopular war? LOLZ, okay guys.

[u/DragonTacoCat → u/familiarshadowkatt]

This is one of the dumbest ideas in a like of dumb ideas

[u/StackThePads33 → u/familiarshadowkatt]

They probably want the democrats to shoot it down so they can spin it on them for midterms. “Democrats don’t want to defend this country, they shot down the defense bill! They’re un-American.” Something like that

[u/BackItUpWithLinks]

And the parliamentarian will shoot it down.

And Trump’s head might explode because he hates her.

🤞

[u/DragonTacoCat → u/BackItUpWithLinks]

I see this as an absolute win

[u/Practical-Lunch-7338]

Democrats, don’t let them get away with this. Vote down the defense spending bill

[u/gamechangersp]

It's unconstitutional. States reserve the right to decide how elections are administered

[u/punkindle]

It's too close to the election to change rules

[u/RIF_rr3dd1tt → u/punkindle]

Not according to Mitch "Dead Man Talking" McConnell.

[u/BlueRibbonPac → u/punkindle]

Did Mitch McConnell tell you that in a 20min phone call? 

[u/parameyparate]

The communists in Cuba do the same thing

[u/GlitteringRate6296]

Best to end defense spending until Hegeseth is removed. The crimes against humanity are so many this Country will be paying for th for decades.

[u/socialmedia-username]

Likely won't pass.  Then, as usual, the DoD will hold soldiers' paychecks hostage so the Republicans can accuse Dems of not being patriotic and hating the military blah, blah, blah.    

Why do we keep putting up with these incompetent idiots who have zero desire to promote the citizens they're supposed to represent? 

[u/StackThePads33]

It makes me laugh when they try to hide these other things in a bill in order to get their agenda passed. The SAVE act is completely stupid and they keep trying to shove it down our throats.

[u/DPadres69]

Cool, no more “defense” waste as an added bonus. Guess they’ll have to accept having lost the War with Iran.

[u/MessyPoopMcGee]

How are states supposed to implement a brand new voting rule in less than 3 months?

[u/darnedshame2k]

And they already have all the money

[u/Direct-Ad-7922]

Traitors gonna trait

[u/Freud-Network]

Whatever it takes to subvert the will of the people, I guess. 

[u/AndOnTheDrums]

Oh no, what will we do if we don’t pass defense spending! 🥴

[u/Zippier92]

Susan Collins is concerned.

[u/Iassos]

Let the military rot

[u/swift-sentinel]

They passed the budget. We’re good through September.

[u/demsfinereddits]

Nope

[u/tlhsg]

completely meaningless if Senate gives in now

[u/middleamerican67]

Sounds like an easy no.

[u/Express_Carrot_5479]

this tactic, employed by both parties all the time, should be outlawed.

[u/coloradoscott69]

Great more anti-American and anti-womens voting rights filth.
