the DNC saw it as a sacrificial lamb, just because the recent elecitons had all DEM wins, they are hoping to ride out that honeymoon til the 26th. besides the 8 that supported the end of the shutdown, there were 13 other dems that are up for re-election next year.
Hey hey hey! The crossed the aisle to create a historic bipartisan agreement to reopen it!
Checks notes: ah yes, see? Brilliant negotiations! The gop got everything, and the dems got assurance that they will have a vote on the aca benefits! I mean, the vote will just be no, but come on, what skill! Truly, no one could have squeeze more from the deal!
the repubs got more than their initial ask: delta 8 THC is outlawed and now states cannot use alternative funding to pay out SNAP benefits in the future when this inevitably happens again.
The dems are truly masters of the art of the deal. All it took was a little bit of immiseration and they got some votes and an excuse to let the republicans set up their plan to cut welfare. They didn’t even have to miss thanksgiving.
Oops someone didn’t hear the senate passed the budget with the ACA cuts.

That news disagrees with their dogma, so it’s fake news.

The DNC and gop were getting nervous as the ATC was calling out sick and worst, resigning.
