Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer offered a new plan to Republicans that would allow the U.S. government to reopen after a shutdown that began on Oct. 1.

But Republicans quickly dismissed Schumer’s proposal, which hinges on protecting enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies for at least one year.

Schumer’s proposal calls for Democrats to agree to pass a so-called clean resolution that would provide short-term funding for government operations.

    Fuck it if the dictators try anything there is basically no government with it shut down and all they have done so we can all just remove them collectively without listening to them. Fuck them.

    The sentiment for the people is frustrated, annoyed, and angry. The coordination, logistics, and collaboration is getting to huge levels with more people getting active too. With each of us doing it makes it harder for them to do anything

    Also without government open they can’t really push much else to destroy things (I hope) so I kind of see it as a good thing even though it is very horrible that things people need are not being funded and given out
