Government Shutdowns and Political Polarization
The ongoing government shutdown, now in day 20, highlights the increasing political polarization in the United States.
A government shutdown typically lasts as long as one party believes it gains an advantage, aiming to win the blame game and sway public opinion against their opponents, potentially boosting their chances in the next election.
Ending a shutdown requires some members of the opposing party to compromise, a decision influenced by the opinions of independent or swing voters.
