So, the Speaker's being super dodgy about swearing in this one rep-elect and it's like, what even is going on? Like, they're basically saying she doesn't exist yet... meanwhile, everyone knows she does!
It's just so frustrating when you see politicians being all obstinate and stuff. And yeah, this is like, totally affecting the whole government shutdown thing - people are getting paid but not doing their jobs... it's a mess. The numbers are pretty clear: most Americans support keeping ACA subsidies in place (72%!) while only 30% think they're on the right track?
It's like, come on guys! You can't just ignore what the majority of people want and expect everything to be okay. And honestly, it feels like a bunch of Republicans are being super out of touch with reality... I mean, I used to be part of that party, but after seeing how they're handling this, I'm like totally done with that ship.
The thing is, you can't just win elections by pretending everything's fine when it's not - you gotta actually listen to people and work together. Otherwise, you'll just end up losing trust and credibility... and trust me, I know from experience
.
refusing to swear in your new colleague Adelita Grijalva is just a major head scratcher. It's like trying to run an empty house 
, she can't do any work for her constituents and it's just not right. And I feel for the people who are getting affected by this shutdown, air traffic controllers, federal workers, military personnel... they're all in this together 
72% of Americans support extending ACA subsidies which is a pretty clear indication that most people are on the same team 
as Democrats. It's time for Republicans to step up and take responsibility for their actions 
. 72% of americans want affordable care, but republicans don't seem to care 
. what happened to 'working together'?
