If Democrats reopen the government for a whisper of a promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies, then the shutdown was pointless in the first place.

If they're closing the commissaries, then a LOT more military personnel are going to need SNAP.
Just another pointless self-inflicted wound.

Officials say commissaries will be open through Thanksgiving, but many stateside stores could close soon after due to the government shutdown.

"What about World War 2?"
yes, even WW2! See, the thing about WW2 that trips people up is that once it started, it was valuable, good, and righteous to fight. The stupid and pointless part is you let it start at all.

When Leftists say voting for Dems is pointless, I understand why many get upset, but they are talking about this exact kind of thing.
Yes it’s upsetting but they keep being proven right.

I see nothing in here that would require the White House to actually spend any available funds, prevent rescissions or withholding of payments, or do anything to change what has become an unsettling status quo in this calendar year.

Speaker Johnson has repeatedly said he won’t schedule a vote on extending the Obamacare subsidies. So what good is a Senate deal to end the shutdown that hinges on them promising a vote? It would be pointless.

I particularly enjoyed the bit where Philips tried to pretend taxing millionaires and billionaires would be essentially pointless and raise no money.

Shameful. And pointless, since it will protect Cornell from nothing.
Cornell has reached an agreement with the federal government to restore our funding:

Makes the whole shutdown feel pointless and ultimately frames it as Dems were the ones holding things up. Makes Republicans look good!

They're trying to sneak a nationwide abortion ban into the bill and many Dems are actually considering caving.
They've held the line for 40 days... it's pointless if they cave now.
Call your elected representatives!

"Hyde language" would be a ban on anything related to abortion. So, any Senate Democrat that caves is agreeing to vote to implement a nationwide abortion ban in exchange for healthcare subsidies.
Democrats are likely to get a vote on an extension later. But they've already gotten similar votes. Republicans already vowing to block an extension without major changes to the ACA, like adding Hyde language.

At some point we have to sit down and reason out that Republicans are exactly who they are telling us they are and there was no deal to be made. That being the case the shutdown becomes pointless.
