Keep the shutdown going. Keep it going as long as possible until people are in the streets and protests daily. This administration is a crisis and until Americans feel it in their souls, the shutdown cannot end. Fascism cannot win. Since you have no power in Congress but to obstruct, please use your energy to help our states pass their own reforms to withstand this administration. We need Ranked Choice Voting, we need to follow Montana’s lead and take the right to political speech from corporate charters, we need to repeal California Constitution’s Article XVI and replace it with modern state debt structures, replace prop 13 with a Land Value Tax, and repeal prop 218. These things will allow California to withstand outside attack and thrive in the face of fascism. These things will stand as beacons for other states to see what democrats can do in a democratic state.
