1. La Furia Demócrata y la Guerra Civil Inmediata.
El acuerdo de cierre del gobierno fue percibido por muchos activistas y legisladores demócratas como una "rendición" o una "victoria pírrica", lo que provocó un estallido de ira y divisiones internas, especialmente por no asegurar las extensiones de los subsidios del ACA.
- A furious civil war angry democrats explode in widespread backlash to lousy shutdown deal angry democrats exploded in fury, slamming the deal for not properly resolving one of their top priorities, funding healthcare extensions.
- Furious dem civil war immediately erupts over bombshell shutdown deal the daily beast democratic activists slammed the shutdown surrender.
- Dems break into civil war after 8 senators cave to trump on shutdown the deal does not actually include extending obamacare subsidies.
- Civil war breaks out among democrats after caving on shutdown pathetic.
- Win the war, not the battle.
- This was a battle the dems were never going to win. We also need to feed people and pay government employees and not crash the entire economy when air traffic stops affordable healthcare is essential, i completely agree. Win the mid terms and then fix the healthcare system. Thats the war.
- If we do that, they may have won the shutdown battle, but they will have lost the war.
- The battle won, the war rages on.
- Trump and the republicans are absolutely getting demolished in the messaging war. The public knows the shutdown and economy is their fault.
- Jake tapper just acknowledged that democrats have remained on message throughout the shutdown, republicans have been all over the place, and democrats are winning the messaging war.
- The gop is losing the pr war and schumer makes them an offer that costs them little and lets them save face.
- Gop was already receiving the blame. They knew it. We knew it. Dems knew it.
- The shutdown turned into a whos going to suffer the most war of attrition. Democrats were never going to win that because they actually care about people, while the gop leadership was happy to add additional suffering at every turn.
- Democrats were never going to win the shutdown war because you cant negotiate with a man who sees starvation as strategy.
- The republicans would rather see americans go hungry than bolster obamacare.
- This is a war on the american people.
- The end of the war is 2026 elections. Thats where the true leverage will be and always was.
- They may have won the battle, but not the war. Just wait for the shit to hit the fan when health insurance coverage is out of reach for many americans.
- This battle ends, but the war for the people begins.
- The gop gamble is to say yes, healthcare costs will go up but the dems didnt stop that from happening so theyre to blame and then double down on culture war stuff all over again.
2. La Estrategia de "Ganar la Guerra, No la Batalla".
Muchos defensores argumentan que, aunque se perdió la batalla inmediata por los subsidios del ACA, ceder en el cierre del gobierno fue una retirada táctica necesaria para evitar un daño mayor (como la inanición de familias) y posicionarse mejor para ganar la "guerra" en las elecciones intermedias.

3. La Guerra de Mensajes y la Responsabilidad del Cierre.
