Then don't pass a CR and keep things shut down. Reveal how weak our system is.

I think it's become very clear how weak the system is. But people shouldn't have to suffer. Keeping things shut down is using government workers and those who rely on SNAP as pawns.

Let them be pawns then. Democrat votes now are about accepting short-term agony for long-term benefits and hoping Republicans don't mess things up in the long term. Whatever needs to happen to make sure that the Republicans don't get what they want is the mandatory action.
