The United States does not negotiate with terrorists.

This is so silly.
Negotiating with terrorists? No. This is the checks and balances that the federal government was designed around. Yes, if the president wants to borrow more money then he has to negotiate with the democratic process to obtain that permission.
To call this terrorism is pretty much the same as calling, I don't know, McDonald's negotiating with terrorists because I don't want to pay $5 for a Big Mac.
Yeah. That description is just that out there.
I'm sorry, if the president wants to borrow a ton of money on the credit of the United States then he does need to go to our representatives and negotiates to get that authority.
I'm sorry that might be hard for him. Welcome to democracy though.

America's system of checks and balances has a critical flaw.
It's the same flaw that hurts capitalism, and communism, and socialism as pure ideologies.
It's the same flaw that hurts most ideologies flat out.
That flaw? That the system relies on all those involved acting in in good faith with one another to function.
The problems with the debt ceiling have nothing to do with borrowing. They have to do with a bunch of people being assholes just to be assholes.
What in the world?
No. We elect the people that we want to elect, and we keep reelecting people, so really it relies on us, the voters, we approve of these people.
It's not about good faith or bad faith. It's about the people that we actively show up to the polls to elect and reelect and we approve of the actions of officials when we cast our votes to say they should remain in office.
There's nothing about good faith or bad faith there. It is just us deciding that we like the way these people exercise their offices.

It's entirely about how people choose to interact with the rules and systems we have.
Everything about the way the Republican party is currently manipulating our laws and systems to keep their own power and prevent the systems working as intended is, 100 percent, bad-faith actors.
If you choose not to see that, that's your deal... but there's nothing about what they're choosing to do that in any way serves the intended function of our government.
I mean you are laying out quite the conspiracy theory but you aren't really giving any real support to show that the theory is solid.
It's not about me choosing to see that or not. You're not even showing me something worth seeing.
@volkris @DemocracyMattersALot
It's not a conspiracy theory when it's literally been the entire Republican platform for something like 30+ years.
Don't pass anything a Republican didn't spearhead.
Don't pass anything that doesn't directly benefit your financiers.
Don't pass anything that would promote equality/equity and possibly lose support of racists.
Obstruct, obstruct, obstruct.
The evidence for this is everything the Reps have done since at least the end of the Clinton presidency.
So it's not a conspiracy theory because this conspiracy theory has been going on for a long long time!
Yeah this is the sort of thing where we know very clearly that what you are saying is nutso seeing as the Republicans have passed things in the public record even as you are saying stuff about don't pass anything.
I'm sorry your conspiracy theory is just not even passing the lowest level of fact checking.
Why do you subscribe to these things? Why do you except these things as true when they are not only pretty far out but also so easily debunkable?
