3. Both options suck but for this Dem, it is stand or die. Going along is death, so stand against the CR. Do Opt 3 also.

IMHO we have been doing the "live to fight another day" routine for too long and end up further and further from our goals. Even if ultimately the CR passes, the longer we can tie up GOP focus and resources scratching for any little gain, the less time and focus they have to do their next evil thing. Goal is to get a focused Dem message that GOP is not working in the People's interests in the big picture and get to 2026 elections as a champion of the People.
