OPINION:

@symonedsanders.bsky.social for @msnbc.com

Republicans could have avoided this fight if they had extended the subsidies earlier this year. The longer the shutdown drags on, the more foolish they look for opposing something so popular and necessary.

Democrats proved the insiders wrong on the shutdown

The conventional wisdom was that a shutdown was a losing fight.
