Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

For like the millionth time it is indeed on the democrats to not actively fuck up an absolute layup that they could achieve with very little effort. What remains to be seen is how bad they want to fuck it up, and if anyone at any level of the party will move to stop it
From the reporting i've seen, Mike Johnson is not even trying to negotiate and neither is Trump. They think this is a win.
Maybe they're counting on food riots so they can finally send in the National Guard? Sorry to touch the lathe
Yeah, I get that, I'm just wondering why they haven't beefed it so far when precedent suggests that's exactly what they'd do.
I hadn't even thought of that angle, good point. Maybe they're finally getting too scared to be seen doing nothing? One can hope at least
