Yes, yes we are.
You may have noticed that the reporter here just accepting that the Republicans want to punish Democrats for their agenda and “not own the toxic politics” of raising the debt ceiling. That[‘s just how they are. It’s up to the Democrats to save the country. Again.
What is left unsaid is that the debt ceiling is stupid (America should just pay its bills) and the debt that has been incurred happened when both parties were in charge. And yet Democrats bailed them out on this even when they had the majority and Trump was in office.
The big question will be if McConnell is willing to shit down the government again. It hasn’t worked out well for Republicans in the past but I guess old Mitch thinks it’s worth another shot.
