Warren, Sanders in senate. AOC, the rest of the squad, Jayapal, porter in the house. Probably more could be persuaded.
Do it. Americans need to know what they voted for. Republicans shouldn't be bailed out. >

Americans are stupid and will blame Biden, and by extension, democrats. >

Yes and no. 
The past what 5 shutdowns we're blained on Republicans even going back to the Obama era where Ted Cruz decided he needed to refund the ACA by his lonesome. So republicans demanding cuts to social security and shit will be blamed on them. That is the no part.
But in the long term even with all these antics that destable the US economy that only Republicans pull for some reason the country as a gestalt sees them as better on the economy because "America" and they think social spending and taxing companies will hurt the economy, I mean just ask Europe ... Oops. That's the yes. >

you are confused. fox news will blame dems and republican voters will happily suck that fake news out of their teet >

I’m all for an honest debate and negotiation on spending but by taking defense off of the table already the Republicans obviously are not. >

Don’t worry - Dems also won’t consider cutting the defense budget. >

Some prominent Dems absolutely would. >

Which prominent Dems would side with republicans on this? I was trying to think because I know that progressive Dems weren’t thrilled about the spending but I can’t see them shutting the government down over it. Can’t even really see the Dems from splitting their messaging that they’re anything but United (except behind closed doors) while the Republican Party is shattering. >

Warren, Sanders, AOC to name a few. I don’t know how far they’d push it but they wouldn’t just agree to exclude defense from the start.
