The Democrats put people over politics, and I truly believe that those people who were affected by the shutdown will remember that we cared enough to swallow our pride so that people less fortunate than us would be able to pay their bills and put food on their table, especially with the holidays coming.

I'm a bit tired of all the Dem bashing on this forum. Even on this forum there are people enjoying the media's "Democrats caved" meme.

Maybe I'm too woke but I'd rather give in than see children go hungry.
