But they HAD to! The shutdown was so UNPOPULAR that democrats all LOST in the most recent election!

/s not because the sarcasm isn’t obvious, but because I don’t trust centrists to ignore the sarcasm on purpose.

If you think that the FEDERAL shutdown was a major issue for the Mayor of New York City (who had been leading in the polls for months) and the governorship of New Jersey and Virginia (where the polls had also been clear since before the shutdown), you’re out of your gourd.

Or bullshitting in bad faith, as per usual.

  If you think that the voters didn’t respond well to a party that was finally pretending to start stand up for them, you have no idea how branding works. Well, at least they capitulated like they do on everything but genocide support, so healthcare subsidies are going away. So it’s a win for you.

    The same voters who increasingly blamed the Dems for the shutdown as it’s dragged on?
    
    I’m sorry that you live in a fantasy land instead of the real world. I understand that the reality-based community is deeply offensive to you.

    I suppose we’ll see if capitulation makes them more popular.

    Says the guy who is trying to convince people that capitulation is a good thing after the party was rewarded for standing its ground.
