The shutdown is the only point of leverage Democrats have over the fascist GOP for the foreseeable future.
The GOP is doing a media blitz to put pressure on Democrats to cave.
Your Democratic representatives need to know that you support them and the shutdown, and you expect them to hold the line.
Please write your reps today ( < 5 minutes) to show your support (they don't hear enough positive messages, anyway).
It's simply not true that the shutdown is the only point of leverage Democrats have over the #GOP.
That's not how #Congress works.
In particular, we've seen how fractured the Republicans are in the House, where Democrats can absolutely peel off a few members to gain majority on votes.
So that line about this shutdown being the only point of leverage is simply misleading political point-scoring.
