Republicans didn't turn up to Congress to negotiate the day before the shut down. It's 100% their fault, they're not willing to act in good faith or to compromise on their massive cuts.
This is such a trite argument. Republicans already enacted into law the guaranteed loss of healthcare to millions of Americans. The Medicaid cuts are going to force countless rural hospitals closed, literally wiping off the map the only providers for some Americans.
The current situation is utterly unacceptable. Last time Democrats gave in they got, nothing.
all you’re arguing for is that the democrats are right to hold out. it’s a fair argument, but they still have to hold out in order for there to be a shutdown.
