Migamutts not knowing how their own political systems work is just hilarious.
the gop chooses to introduce the bill that they know requires bipartisan support without trying to compromise and that caused the shutdown
The party in power sets the legislative schedule and decides what bills get introduced. If the gop controls both chambers and the presidency, it’s up to them to propose a funding bill that can actually pass - not just one that satisfies their own caucus. the majority party is expected to govern effectively, which includes negotiating across the aisle when necessary. also, the damage is already done: voting to reopen is utterly meaningless because they know it includes demands that the democrats would reject. they're essentially just voting 'yes' on not making compromises.
its simple: the gop has the leverage to end the shutdown, therefore they are responsible
