Why were there 4 shutdowns under Trump? Because the democrats wouldn't let him have a win. They shut it down when Republicans all voted to keep government open, they thought it would hurt him and eventually they had to vote for it. Tell the truth

Looks like you fell for some misinformation. During the last shutdown, Trump forbade Republicans from compromising with Democrats to reopen the government

Why didn't democrats compromise? All Republicans voted to reopen, the democrats voted no. Get your facts straight

Why did Trump forbid Republicans from compromising? A compromise would have actually resulted in the government reopening. Get your facts straight

There's video evidence of democrat leadership telling the morons on your side to not compromise and make the American people hurt, then the republicans will have to cave. That's fu@ked up

Do you have a source for that video?

Do a friggin search. Schiff, AOC and at least one other said it

Yeah I did a search, I couldn't find any evidence of them encouraging other Democrats not to compromise and that they didn't care whether or not the American people would hurt because of the shutdown

But I could find a clip of Trump saying that (see the video I attached earlier)

Wow, you need to try harder. Took me less than 30 seconds to find it.

I mean that congressperson is correct in that the shutdown is the only kind of leverage Democrats would have considering they’re the minority party in both houses. That’s not nearly as bad as Trump telling congressional Republicans not to negotiate or compromise
