The government being "shut down" has not changed a single atom of my life, other than people bitching on Facebook even more. I do not give a shit about it coming back on, and if in fact EBT card parasites are being exposed for the roaches they are, I hope to God it continues longer.

Word has it Greta is rerouting the aid flotilla to help EBT striken cities.

The worst aspect of this shutdown fight is that democrats held the poorest Americans hostage for the benefit of a more wealthy bracket
The ACA subsidies only apply to cover the 'gap' of people who earn too much to qualify for medicaid but got their insurance through the ACA market or self-employed or whatever, rather than employer-based
Then their judge even demanded that the USDA pilfer the school lunch program funds to feed people on SNAP

Every step of the way its robbing peter to pay paul except peter is even worse off than paul

Why do you blame democrats? Republicans hold the house, senate and white house.

Why do I blame the people who shut down the government for shutting down the government?

The Democrats literally blamed themselves for this mess. It's was enshrined in their failed coercion strategy as they tried to leverage denying food programs to Americans to achieve goals on Affordable Care Act.

Seven Democrats and one independent senator voted with nearly every Senate Republican to approve the stopgap funding bill after a more than month long impasse that resulted in missed paychecks for millions of federal workers.

Edit: It's a huge red flag for how lost the Democratic party is right now. They did the Republicans work for them.... (lots of interest in SNAP money flows now for the average voter). Similar with DOGE shining a spot light into parts of the swamp.

The republicans offered clean funding bills with no riders, a flat extension of existing Biden era funding. The democrats refused to vote for any budget that didn't include ACA subsidies which had expired and were never voted into law. They were directly holding the budget hostage to demand a program that they did not have the votes to pass. Every republican was willing to vote to reopen the government, every democrat voted against it
What part of this don't you understand?

At some point, political discourse becomes impossible when you don't recognize basic facts and logic anymore. It doesn't matter what happens in the world or what anyone says, if you can simply deny reality.

The democrats closed down the government and held the budget hostage, the democrats caved and reopened the government and released their hostage without getting their demands.
Its entirely upon the democrats at each step of the story, they are the aggressors and the losers in the contest.
