It is an objective fact that the shutdown would be over if either party was completely willing to end it
Democrats could end the shutdown if they vote for the CR and get 60 votes
Republicans could end the shutdown if they nuked the filibuster and passed the CR
This isn't anything about opinion or which party is right; this is just an objective fact. If you try to argue this you are arguing into a hole. Both parties have been able to gaslight voters into making the shutdown something that the opposite party has full responsibility over and that they have no control over, but that's no true. The shutdown could be over now.
