      People who have no principles & don't care about either democracy or other human beings will always have a political advantage. I feel like this is fairly obvious, but perhaps doesn't get incorporated enough into our discussions re: political "negotiations" (e.g. the shutdown)

      Trump has an advantage b/c he doesn't care whether the government is up & running or not. He also doesn't care about people. McConnell also has this advantage--though he is more aware of potential political costs than Trump is.

      The media also plays a role in facilitating this advantage b/c, again, they feel compelled to equalize everything. This was v. evident in Guthrie's interview w/ Pelosi, in which Guthrie framed questions as if Dems were broadly unwilling to negotiate.

      The media then provide McConnell & Trump w/ some protection--which McConnell is certainly aware of. There *are* political costs to a shutdown, but the MSM narrative won't allow the blame to be placed squarely where it belongs: w/ the GOP.

          So we have a situation where people who don't actually care about the government or quality of life for American citizens have an advantage. A potential counter-effect *could* be political accountability, but the media somewhat mitigates this effect by equalizing the narrative.

          If we had a vastly better informed public, for the record, these advantages would be diminished. And I'm not blaming the public here, but rather those who provide the public w/ information.
