There’s some relief that the government shutdown is over, but Democrats are more likely to say they’re frustrated about the deal that ended it, and that their party compromised too much.

By a wide margin, Americans say it was Republicans and Trump who succeeded in getting more of what they wanted from the negotiations to end the shutdown.

Most Democrats think their own party’s congressional Democrats compromised too much. Most Republicans say their delegation’s approach to compromise was about right.

    Sad when these ballsacks show more resolve than your average American. Longest shutdown in American history is more than anything anyone else has done.

    I dont know who still needs to hear this, the democrats wont save you. They arent able to. They were bought and sold long long ago.

    Here’s a harsh reality: Americans were divided about the shutdown along the same lines they have been polarized already, and this after-poll reflects that. I don’t think anyone changed their mind during this whole thing. Would pushing it to the point of actual empty stomachs done that? I am not sure anymore. All the rules are different in the information age.

    Stop blaming the whole party for some ass hats who need primaried…

    Especially now that the DNC won’t throw it’s weight behind them in those primaries. They’ll be on their own and weak, but all 8 won’t have a primary until a new chair is seated.

    They’re betting on people checking out and neoliberals being able to regain the party in time for their next elections.

      I view the Democrats as a pathetic party that never hits back. And when a Democrat DOES try to hit back, the other Democrats try to sink that person’s campaign for being disruptive.

      So yeah, I’m upset with the Dems for always trying to appease or doing some halfhearted “Oh no we wanna do something but we just can’t ughhh” nonsense.

      I will continue to blame party leadership until they kick the traitorous assholes out of the party entirely.

        Then your goal isn’t a non biased party…

        You want a party that interferes in primaries.

        Which is incredibly shortsighted and counter to the bottom-up power structure that a democratic party would have.

        Go moderate the republicans if you want a top-down power structure. But if we can only pick between the two, any gains would be temporary and the wealthy will seize control of both.
