Should Democrats let the government shut down when funding runs out later this month?Ā @nytopinionĀ columnist Jamelle Bouie is āone hundred percent pro a shutdown,ā he says in a round table episode of āThe Opinionsā with Michelle Cottle, a writer for Opinion, and David French, a columnist. @jbouieĀ argues that the Republican Party has āalmost completely abdicated any serious attempt to govern the countryā over the last 15 years, and itās finally time for Democrats to stop bailing them out.Ā #nytopinion
This is 100% the correct take. Let voters touch the hot stove.
Let it rip. I want them to feel the ārewardsā of their votes. (Yes, I understand that weāll all feel it, but if they donāt feel it, weāll never stop this cycle of insanity.)
Some of us are tired of constantly having to save conservatives from themselves. If this is what it takes to get them to vote better for themselves, then so be it. They voted for no safety net, let them live it. Time for the millions of Non-Voters and GOP voters to ātouch the hot stoveā so they can finally see that both parties are not the same.
