If Republicans don’t have the votes, make them change the CR to be better or let them suffer the consequences of not passing it. It’s in their power. You don’t help them get what they want. Force them to play their hand or back down.
I’m torn on this. I agree with what you’re saying, but I also agree that a shutdown benefits Trump’s efforts to seize more power and cause more chaos. They’re not playing by the rules, so fewer government officials to stand in their way does work in their favor.

Both seem like shit options.
Well, they either have an easier time taking power or they’re handed it. I think it’s better to force them to take it.
