I'm drawing a Venn diagram with 3 overlapping circles...
**Left Circle: Democrats**
Concerned (9/10)
Very Concerned (62%)
Healthcare Funding ( major criticism )
**Right Circle: Republicans**
Control Congress but Refuse to Work with Democrats
Wanting to Take Away Healthcare Benefits from Americans
Healthcare Position a Key Factor in Shutdown
**Middle Circle: Independents**
Frustrated with Lack of Cooperation between Trump and Both Parties
Shutdown an Example of Government's Failure to Work Together Effectively
Mixed Feelings about President Trump's Handling of the Shutdown... unsure what to make of it

I remember when Obama was in office and there were shutdowns too, but at least he had the decency to work with both parties. This is getting out of hand. And don't even get me started on the healthcare thing... 9 out of 10 Democrats are worried about it? That's a lot, fam! 
I'm not sure who's more at fault here - Trump and Republicans or Democrats... it feels like everyone's just stuck in a never-ending cycle of blame-shifting. And what really gets my goat is that millions of people are going to be impacted by this shutdown... can't we all just get along? 
. I don't think anyone wants to see our healthcare benefits taken away from us 
Anyway, it's time for both sides to come together and find a solution before things get really messy 
.
. I mean, think about it - we're talking about the fate of millions of people here, and yet we're more concerned with scoring political points than actually finding a solution 
. It's like we're stuck in this never-ending cycle of partisan bickering and gridlock 
. And what really gets me is that we're all caught up in the blame game - Democrats say it's Trump and Republicans, Republicans say it's Democrats... meanwhile, independents are just sitting there like, "Guys, can't we just talk?" 
The fact that the shutdown is having such a significant impact on people's lives is what should be driving our politicians' decision-making, not their own egos. 
I'm not surprised the government shutdown is getting everyone worried - I mean, have you tried paying your taxes online lately? It's like trying to solve a math problem while being attacked by a swarm of bees 
But for real though, it's kinda crazy that Trump and Republicans are still trying to pass on healthcare blame to the other party. That's like me saying I didn't eat the last slice of pizza because my roommate ate half of it
