Now, you see, this is the kind of thing that just burns my azz.

The shutdown is Republicans’ fault—so why are voters mad at Democrats? - Dailykos

... you’d think Democrats would get more credit—especially now. In the days leading up to the shutdown, the party pushed for stronger health care protections. Their proposal would roll back the Medicaid cuts in Trump’s tax and immigration law, and it would extend enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of this year. At a moment when polls show Democratic voters want their leaders to fight harder, this was Democrats putting up a fight.

In other words, Democrats trail Republicans by 11 percentage points on approval, even though voters overwhelmingly blame the GOP for the shutdown. That contradiction speaks volumes.

So, for all the work Democrats continuously do, ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE, Republicans are still getting (relatively speaking) a free pass at cruelty and policy-making THAT DOES HARM to even their OWN CONSTITUENCY.

Incredible.

I must've written the words, "Wake the fuck up, America" a million times. But, don't think I'll bother writing it again.
