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.
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. Democrats existing brand, the one everyone but centrists like you were pissed off about, is maintained.

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.
Says the guy who is trying to convince people that capitulation is a good thing after the party was rewarded for standing its ground.
Is it that you can’t parse what I’m saying, and thus have no choice but to fill in the blanks with fantasy; or is it that you find it more satisfying to tilt against windmills?
I’m not buying your pro-capitulation bullshit. None of it. Democrats were more steadfast in their support of netanyahu’s genocide than they have ever been about healthcare.
You’re getting nitpicky. But you’re right. Making excuses for the people who capitulated like you wanted them to is words, not actions. Your words excusing them put the lie to your claim that you don’t support them. Excuses are support.
If you don’t want to be treated as an apologist, don’t engage in apologia.

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

Sorry, was that too far back for you to remember?
Where the fuck did I say otherwise?
No, I just don’t believe you. You claim that you don’t support them while supporting them by making excuses for them. Actions speak louder.
Oh. I see. You’re defending useless democrats because they were more steadfast in support of genocide than they are for healthcare.
Lord.
… except my only action here has been to write words.
But I suppose “Words are louder than words” might reveal how intellectually vacuous your entire position is.
