I didn't argue that the Democrats should shut down the government. But they certainly could have used the moment more effectively to exact leverage, attention, and educate Americans on what is really going on. But that is not what they did.

HOW? Please get a bit more specific. Because from my understanding of the options available to Democrats in the 2-3 days they had available, your post was a poor paragon to choose to demonstrate an otherwise valid тАЬphilosophicalтАЭ point.
Trump and his MAGA minions are power-drunk and will inflict the maximum amount of pain simply because they can. Whacking the honest nest will only inflict even greater levels of pain on larger numbers of citizens.
тАЬActions speak louder than words.тАЭ If the tables were turned, what would Trump do? I doubt that any concern for the greater good would enter his mind. Schumer and the Dems modeled an alternative of responsible and empathetic adult behavior in contrast to TrumpтАЩs self-centered vengeance. The Dems politically had no leverage using words, but certainly demonstrated empathy and grace in contrast to TrumpтАЩs soulless hatred.
The time is not right for assertive force which by now we should realize must be a swift coup de grace for a decisive end. There was no chance of that here and cooler heads prevailed.
