I have no love for Schumer and would love to see him replaced, but to play devil’s advocate for a sec, isn’t shutting down the government what Trump and his cronies want? Say the government does shut down, what would prevent Republicans just leaving it shut down indefinitely until all the furloughed employees quit (the same people they’ve been trying to fire unsuccessfully)? Or passing bills to selectively fund only the programs they like while leaving the Dept of Education and others unfunded?

The complete collapse of society, but not to own the libs. It’s to set up a new political system controlled by billionaires as techno feudal lords:

They’re not even trying to hide it:

I think something people forget is that the candidates are standing like 10 feet apart. So with Trump’s mic muted, we may not be able to hear him, but Harris probably still can.

I think that’s one reason Biden seemed so feeble in their debate—he was having trouble focusing on what he was trying to say with Trump rambling on in the background. With the mics muted and the camera focused entirely on Biden, that was totally unapparent to the viewer and it seemed like Biden was just losing his train of thought for no reason. I’m sure Biden told Harris as much, which is why the Harris campaign was pushing for unmuted mics.

I find it funny that all the replies to this comment are things like, “get money out of politics” or “increase spending on education.” In other words, things that require legislative action.

So all we need to fix our broken system is for that broken system to work correctly. Got it.
