Republicans are grappling with public polls showing the public places more blame on them, rather than the Democrats, for the shutdown, even as they argue they have the moral high ground in the shutdown fight.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Republicans stress that they put no partisan poison pills in a GOP-crafted, House-passed stopgap to fund the government through Nov. 21. Democrats in the Senate have repeatedly blocked that bill as they demand that Republicans first negotiate with them on health care issues, particularly on enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies expiring at the end of the year.
Poll after poll finds that slightly more Americans think Republicans are to blame for the shutdown than who think Democrats are at fault.

To what end? What will it change? Do you think Trump will actually be held accountable? Do you think it’ll make him lose the election?
If you’re in government it’s your responsibility to keep the government running. In most other countries if the government can’t pass a budget then it’s a vote of no confidence and we call another election immediately.
I think one of America’s biggest fuckups was designing a system where elections can only be every four years
For the presidency.
House terms are 2 years, and Senators are 6 years.
Lack of term limits fir Supreme Court judges was another big fuckup
And for a mandated maximum age for politicians
I think term limits would take care of this without v being discriminatory. You can win an office once and a reelection once. It doesn’t matter if you either that office at 25 or 70.
How is age discriminatory? We don’t debate the minimum age requirement, so what’s so bad about an upper one?
I mean I do think someone younger than 35 could easily be a good president.
If you’re going to do term limits I think you have to get rid of all age restrictions
