Are you forgetting the fillabuster? You have to look at the dems that allowed this to go to the floor for a vote at all.
It should have been killed before the official vote.
Also don't get bogged down on a budget increase approved by the "Big Beautiful Bill". That funding was only in place for 2 months before the end of the fiscal year.
The dems had every opportunity in October 2025 to reverse this and use the fillabuster. They didn't even mention it during the shutdown and ultimately caved. That was their chance. They decided not to take it
So first you said they voted in favor of the bill which I proved was a lie. Then you moved the goalposts to say "well, they didn't fight hard enough" when you admit they literally shut down the government to stop the bill. Why are you so mad at Dems when you are giving Republicans a free pass?
Nope wrong bill.
The 2026 budget was approved on a 60-40 vote that included 9 democrats.
Also who the hell said I wasn't mad at Republicans? I want those traitors all gone
And the house passed it 222-209. If you want to blame the 8 Senate Democrats that voted for the bill, go ahead (Durbin, King, Hassan, Shaheen, Cortez Masto, Rosen, Fetterman, and Kaine),but blaming all of them is nonsense. Republicans are by far the problem and pretending there is no difference is delusional.
I never once said to blame all of them, only the ones that voted for it. I researched the Senate democrats, but if house democrats voted to they share just as much blame. None are in my district so I didn't commit everyone to memory.
Honestly you're starting to invented arguments over things I've never said
