I think this will be the breaking point for democrats in the shutdown staredown.
We've been too efficient at turning government shutdowns into a standard affair, taken out all the sharp edges by cutting out contingencies for the military, essential workers, insulated programs, etc etc.
If we ever actually shut down a federal government we'd either have to release every federal prisoner or carry out a bunch of summary executions

This will be the first pain point and I don't think democrats can afford to take home a prize of "We cut out your food stamps so we could give billions in subsidies to health insurance companies"
If they were fighting for tax breaks for working families or direct subsidies to citizens at least they'd have a bad argument, but right now they're taking food away from the needy to give money to billionaires, inverse robin hood award

Jesse appears to be going though some stuff, I will pray for her.
Did you want me to pray for your issues as well?

The only question is who is seen as responsible in the eyes of the people. Once that shifts toward one side, we reach a breaking point.

Depends which website you go on
Right led sites will blame democrats
Left led sites will blame the republicans

The reality is if the headcount were flipped it would be the same result. No action because they can't hit 60
None of the elected representatives actually care though
They still get paid
