How many bothered to negotiate anything at all before hand, knowing their attempts to steal Americans healthcare wouldn’t just be agreed to?

Pretty sure all of them did

How many Republicans LEFT TOWN knowing there would not be a settled budget.

This has nothing to do with Democrats shutting down the government to be honest.

Kicking the can down the road so they can keep pushing their “every American gets punched in the face” budget bill without any compromise does fuck all but give them more time to try to shift blame as they do nothing to compromise on their “fuck Americans, the wealthy get all the money” bill. It’s straight extortion.

You're not coming off as a particularly rational person so Imma tap out of this discussion.
