Democrats made the right move on the shutdown and seem to be in control of the narrative.

But the craziness keeps going on, the tsk tsk tsk keeps going on, and the wailing keeps going on. Effective protest comes with a conclusion, and in this case, that would be to find enough legitimate pressure to force this bastard out of office. But ask anyone on this board how effective they think that will be.

I wonder where we'd be now if Schumer and Durban had a backbone back in 2020 when they could have gotten rid of the filibuster to pack the Supreme Court. They are one of the biggest problems we have. If they'd have done what Bernie and some of the more activist Senators had wanted, Citizens United would have been overturned, Roe would have been saved and Trump would be serving a second or third year of a Prison sentence.

So keep up the protests. Sooner or later, something will come of it.
