Democrats should shut down the government to protect innocent people.

It is necessary to recognize the damage a shutdown could cause in the course of recommending, as I am, that the Democrats prepare to let it happen. If the outcome were sure to be harmless, the possible costs would be small. But the moral stakes of this budget negotiation are extraordinarily high. Taking a stand for dreamers, children and disaster-stricken citizens will come with a price.


WaPo thinks Democrats should shut the government down.

But there is more:

But there are potential strategic upsides for Democrats. For one, triggering a shutdown could demonstrate that Democrats take the interests and desires of the American people seriously

Please do this.

The people need to know what “essential” government employees are, what services still run during a shutdown, and who the Dems are shutting the government down for.

They want to shut it down. It's going to happen.

They want Dreamers to vote for Democrats.

More specifically, they want to shut it down to protect illegal immigration.

Give it time. They are collapsing from within, God willing, and it is beautiful.

Shutting down over non-citizens. In-fricking-credible.

Shut that shite down, show your true colors. When they shut it down I hope Trump goes right over the heads of the media and delivers a speech to the American people.

I welcome the government shutting down.

You are supposed to be too distracted to notice that. I guess that was their strategy?

Try as they might, there is no way to paint a government shut down over illegal immigrants in a positive light for them.

They seem very schizophrenic about when shutting down the government is good, and when shutting down the government will kill millions.

Let’s see how many of the slum lords will agree with shutting down our government over illegal aliens.

Trump should just come out and say, " you shut down the gov over DACA, you can forget me ever signing anything with DACA on it. They're gone".

Call their bullshite.

The ultimate bottom line is they hate The Wall and border security with all the fiber of their being. The Wall is their tipping point and Trump will not budge on the Wall so please shut it down.

This is what is fricked up is if Dems want a shutdown due to immigration. This is their biggest agenda not the citizens of the United States.
