>Reminder than the Republicans shut down the government because they don't want to release the Epstein list.
Passing a continuing resolution to extend funding so the government can reopen requires 60 votes in the Senate. There are currently 53 Republican Senators.
The Senate has voted on a new CR numerous times.
All of the GOP Senators (except Rand Paul) have voted to pass a new CR.
All Democrat Senators, except for Fettertardman, Angus King, and one or two others, keep voting against a new CR.
The Republicans are the ones who keep voting in favor of a CR to reopen the government. The reason it hasn't passed is because 53 GOP Senators minus 1 lolbert plus 3 basedtard Dems, is still less than 60.
When Democrats say that Republicans are refusing to negotiate or compromise, or that Republicans are why the government is shut down, that is complete bullshit intended to confuse low information democrats. There is nothing to negotiate. All it takes is a few more Dems voting yes on the CR and the government would reopen immediately, SNAP payments would go out, etc.
What the Democrats are really trying to do is force the GOP to agree to extending Obamacare health insurance handouts to illegals and poorfags. That is a completely separate issue which has nothing directly to do with the government shutdown or a new CR.
The Dems are refusing to pass a new CR because they are trying to force the GOP to agree to extend the ACA handouts to illegals as a compromise, in exchange for the Dems agreeing to pass a new CR.
The Democrats don't seem to understand that most Republicans really don't give a shit about the non-essential (ie the worthless parts that shouldn't exist in the first place) government being shut down or niggers not getting they food stamps.
