“Honestly, at this point, everyone but us civilians. But it is honestly just those in power, those who can actually use their voice and have some type of influence in power, and not us civilians who are protesting and trying to speak up, but no one is listening.”
“I think overall, obviously it’s the Trump administration, but I think there’s a larger thing at play, because essentially all the House and Senate are Republican. But I think there’s a little bit of a larger role at play, where people are trying to essentially just get more control of the government by having fewer workers within the government who could actually do something, which is, hence, the government shutdown.”
“Honestly, everybody, both sides of it, are responsible, because if we really look at history, those two parties have switched places over time. None of them is really the good or the bad guy; it’s just one is the lesser of the two evils. I blame both sides, because at the end of the day, compromise is how you get anywhere. And if you just want your way, and they want their way, well, guess what? We get a government shutdown. Let’s really, actually come and compromise for the people, not for ourselves, but for people, for America, so that we can say, ‘Hey, we did something for Americans, not ourselves.’”
“From what I see, obviously our president. Just the way that he acts, mentally, he is not really capable of performing what he actually needs to do. So now, the government has to do it on its own, because there are more Republicans in the party right now. They lock people out, they do this, they do that, they say no, they say yes. So, I don’t really know whose fault it is, because obviously, you can work it out, but nobody wants to work it out. So, at the end of the day, I think the blame falls onto all of them.”
“There are so many people to choose from, but if I were to go broad, I would say every single one of the representatives in D.C.”
“I’d agree that it’s probably a mix of both parties, both the Democratic and the Republican Party. I know that Republicans have the majority Senate right now, but I would say it is a little bit of both parties, in my opinion. It has a lot to do with some of the changes that are being made and the fact that they can’t come to an agreement. So, you know, I don’t necessarily agree with a lot of the laws that they’re trying to pass, but I know that the Democrats are, from my standpoint, trying to look out for the best interest.”
