2. Trump will create needless suffering - shutdown or no. Ending the shutdown

did not stop that from happening. (e.g. "Everyone must re-apply for SNAP benefits"; "the SNAP program is full of fraud and we're going to root it out"; "there will be no vote on ACA extension without concessions on abortion rights".)


But I agree the media was fully focused on the Democrats' role in the shutdown, and trying every spin to blame them, instead of holding Republicans or Trump responsible in any way. We need to learn the media will never carry our water. It's our turn to "catapult the "propaganda (our messaging)" over the heads of the media and directly to the people. And that's something Dems should relish doing, because we are on the right side of any argument involving trump.
