Democratic leaders have focused far too much on process and decorum while explaining the government shutdown to voters. By instead emphasizing politics over bureaucratic machinations, Bernie Sanders and AOC are showing how it should be done.

    This is kinda Jocobins main point:

    Centrist Democrat leaders like Jeffries and Schumer are spending this moment emphasizing that the shutdown is Trump’s fault because he was inflexible about negotiating. Meanwhile, left-wing leaders like Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are emphasizing that it’s already a moral obscenity that America doesn’t guarantee health care to all its people as a right, and they’ll be damned if they vote for anything that will make our health care system even more cruel than it already is.
