Not really. I don’t understand where you’re going.

Are you saying Democrats should threaten to break the government? Republicans would call that bet, because breaking the government is a good thing to them.

How do you figure? If they’re in power and let the government, they get blamed for it. Call the bluff. Let the government fail. If it’s in a position where one political entity gets to hold it hostage in perpetuity, it’s functionally unsalvageable and broken by design.

That’s the most naive thing I’ve heard in a long time, I’m not quite sure where to start.

If they’re in power and let the government, they get blamed for it.

Demonstrably not true, Republicans love this tactic because people tend to AT BEST blame both sides. Voters are incredibly misinformed.

Let the government fail. If it’s in a position where one political entity gets to hold it hostage in perpetuity, it’s functionally unsalvageable and broken by design

I don’t know how you could get to this conclusion. Let the government fall, because by attempting to break it, Republicans have automatically made it just as bad as if it was already broken? That’s an incredibly dumb statement.
