[quote=Anonymous]It was never that they were powerless. It was that the responsibility to negotiate and to broker a deal to prevent or end the shutdown belonged to the majority party, the Republicans. The fact that they chose not to negotiate whatsoever was a bullying tactic. Anyone suggesting Democrats are responsible for the shutdown are suggesting they had a responsibility be bullied into voting for a bill that did not meet the needs of their constituents. They did not. However, they did in the end allow themselves to be bullied into voting for a bill that does not serve the interests or desires of the people they represent. This is why people are angry. Because they gave in to the bullying tactics and voted for a bill that harms their voters, who just gave them sweeping victories across the country indicating strong support for their stance. They threw all of that away by capitulating, for no apparent reason other than to play politics. [/quote]
