Do not let people say that Democrats shut down the government.

The GOP has all levers of government. Their failure to get the votes is why it was shut down.

And Trump said in 2013 a shutdown is the result of weak leadership! Make him own it!!

2. The media acts as though only the Democrats have agency

On one hand they believe this but on the other hand they see the Democrats as powerless. It is a heads, I win, tails, you lose situation.

8. Where did you see "the Media" "act" that way?

Was it all of them at once, or just some jackhole on CNN?

Dems are the Mommy Party - it's expected that they'll do the right thing.

9. This has been a pattern for some time now

On various networks and types of media. I understand that some people do hold higher expectations for the Democrats to behave like adults but let's not forget that the GOP is acting like spoiled children.

7. Mr trump:" A shutdown means the president is weak."

Also Mr trump: "I am proud to shut down the government... I will be the one to shut it down".
