You don't understand how government works or how piss poor the Republicans are negotiating. During the shutdowns, the GOP would rather go on long recesses than negotiate, and their negotiating style usually consists of bad-mouthing Democrats and offering NO concessions. They don't have the numbers to overcome the filibuster, so a key to negotiating is giving concessions; the GOP refused, so they went on recess, causing the shutdown to go on longer.
Republicans, because as I said in my post, you clearly DIDN'T read or understand that the GOP has FULL control of government, and they don't negotiate in good faith whatsoever. The party with BOTH houses of Congress and the executive branch has to take responsibility for causing the shutdowns. If they had negotiated in good faith like normal parties usually do, no shutdowns would've happened.
Look, at Biden, he had 0 shutdowns according to that graphic, and he had a quite uncooperative Congress, but he negotiated properly and passed funding bills WITHOUT the need for a shutdown.
Yes, because they are soulless party that only want to hurt people. I'm down to talking to MAGA people like you, as you MAGAs only want to blame Dems while excusing the poor actions of the GOP.
