I’m a bit more optimistic, but I mostly think it’s just too early to tell. It was a weird thing that happened and ZM clearly thinks he knows what he’s doing, and we‘ll have to see how it plays out. If it looks like he’s avoiding confrontation to stay pals then yes that’s a problem.

One predictable downside of making it "no this is only about ACA, our only demand" is that does get harder to defend as time goes on and the shutdown pain stacks up. The line for giving up on that, taking its loss as the lesser evil, is much lower than "we're not funding this fascist police state."
