So GOP is trying to force Dems to not get the spending package passed so they can go back home and say "See! The Dems did nothing for you! Biden bad!"
There's a simple way for Democrats to avoid this problem.

The Senate is sitting on a bipartisan $1 trillion infrastructure bill that Biden is ready to sign, but the house won't look at because they want their own package $3.5 trillion package forced through. It's more that the GOP is forcing the dems to decide what is a more important use of reconciliation if they're going to plan on using it for agenda items that the GOP doesn't support.

But to reiterate a key point of my post: dems are 100% capable of raising the debt ceiling entirely on their own using reconciliation. The GOP is completely powerless to stop them. It just means they can't use it for their other package until next year.

Have Biden exercise constitutional authority and rid us of the Debt Limit?

Yeah, go back in time and elect Democrats in WV and AZ who aren't named Manchin and Sinema.

Biden and the democrats will get 100% of the blame for this

Even though the republicans are 100% responsible

How does this keep happening?
Because Americans are typically gullible and easy to manipulate?

No. Just like every other debt ceiling fight, this is all just posturing and maneuvering to force 0th hour compromises.

Last shutdown was 37 days tho, but yes it could also be a last minute thing too.

Stupid fucking mitch McConnell thinks he's a real man because he's friends with trump.

I hope someone tells him that this could even hurt him and all his other rich buddies.

I'd say it's more that he thinks he's a real man because he's effectively stymying his opponents' agenda. There's no love lost between McConnell and Trump, by all accounts. He blames Trump for Republicans losing Georgia's senate races

Most people don't care because this type of a thing doesn't affect them.

Russian troll bots and disinformation farms on Facebook would say yes.

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.
