Subject: Re: Democratic senators fear getting ‘hammered’
The party that is saying "We won't vote to fund the government unless we get X" has historically been the one that gets blamed, versus the party that supports a continuation of then-current spending levels.

As suggested before, I think the Dems chose the wrong hill to die on. Fox Noise has convinced the base that only "others" will be hurt, and the base is OK with "others" being thrown under the bus. Instead of invoking a filibuster, all the Dems should vote "present", and give the MAGAs their head. See how the MAGA base likes it.
