Thursday marks the 30th day of the federal government shutdown and the American public has grown more concerned about the shutdown throughout the month and more disapprove of how Donald Trump is handling the federal government, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.

More Americans blame Trump and the Republicans in Congress than the Democrats for the shutdown, the poll finds.

    I am not even from the US. The only reason I follow US politics is because my country’s politics love suckling the toes of the POTUS without fail no matter what they do or who is in charge.

    What seems to be here is more you being radicalised. It can be for good reasons and I am not in your mind, but nobody is going to agree with you no matter who they are.

      What’s annoying and obnoxious is how many left-leaning people in the US rightfully denounce authoritarian, unconstitutional, and imperial behavior of the US government when a Republican is in office but then ignore the same behavior when a Democrat does it. And if I point this out I’m smeared as a troll or closet MAGA or just, as you have here, an obnoxious person. We will never even approach the ideals expressed in our founding documents until enough of our population wakes up to the fact that both parties are puppets of corporate forces that actively oppose democracy and only value the welfare of the general population to the extent that they can use us as labor and consumers.

      By the way, not sure which country you’re from but I’m sorry on behalf of America that we have subordinated your country to our imperial nonsense.
