Yeah. My POV on it is, more or less, this one. The Democrats are kind of trying to split the difference between "of course we want to protect people's health care, to take it away would be an emergency, otherwise we're fully on board with business as usual" and "the president is declaring war on American cities and we have to stop it, shutting down the US government indefinitely right now sounds better than the alternative." They should pick a lane.

I don't think they are wrong for trying to protect people's health care of course (and also, a little bit crucially but for some reason less talked about, to re-assert that little 1% claim they have to being as an equal branch of government instead of a compliant bunch of rubber stampers who will get kicked and blamed for everything if they ever try to ask any questions or resist), but also it seems kind of like sanewashing everything else that is happening to treat it as a big emergency.
