Democrats threaten shutdown

Democrats ever aware of the tiny Republican majority in the House have thumbed their noses at the clean bill proposed by Speaker Johnson:
"House Republicans on Wednesday moved forward with a stopgap spending bill that would keep the government from shutting down at the end of the month.
In a 216-210 vote along party lines – with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) voting “present” – the House approved debate rules for the 7-week spending bill funding the government at current levels through Nov. 21 – right before lawmakers are expected to leave Washington for a weeklong Thanksgiving recess.
The House is expected to take a final vote on the measure by Friday. If it clears the lower chamber, the bill would need to pass in the Senate and be signed by President Trump before a Sept. 30 deadline to avert a government shutdown."

The democrats first response to the clean bill was to offer up a democrat wish list bill which even contained assistance for illegal migrants:
"The Democratic counteroffer would also roll back cuts to Medicaid that were part of President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" passed earlier this year, and it includes more than $320 million in funds for security for lawmakers, the executive branch and the Supreme Court. It would also restore funding for public radio and TV stations that was cut earlier this year in a rescissions package."

That leaves Johonson up against the clock and democrats on the verge of enraging the American people even more they already have.
Two weeks to a deadline and they are far apart.

Question: Are democrats on a mission to lose the midterm elections?
It seems they are. Funding for anything for illegals was already declared a deal breaker.
I can think of hundreds of better use for funding instead of the already inflated security for lawmakers.
They have lost their minds
This level of stupidity is mind boggling.
Okay..
Update:
"The House on Friday passed a Republican measure to keep the government funded until Nov. 21, teeing up a fight in the Senate over the GOP plan to avoid a shutdown.
The short-term funding bill passed the House in a 217 to 212 vote, with one Democrat voting in favor and two Republicans in opposition. Republican Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Victoria Spartz of Indiana voted against the bill, while Democratic Rep. Jared Golden of Maine supported it."
House passes GOP funding bill, teeing up shutdown fight in Senate
But the Senate failed to pass it.
Both the House and the Senate are on break next week, not returning until the 29th. The Senate plans to take another vote on the bill then but this last minute shit should be ended. Problem is the two party system holds the keys and the sheep continue to vote as their masters in the parties tell them to.
Let's see; we have tariffs, inflation, energy, military conflicts, science funding, and a host of other issues prominent in the news. But Democrats have chosen to shutdown government over insurance? The most pressing issue of greatest concern to the country are financial businesses whose sole function is to pay medical bills?
The unbiased liberal press has been ringing alarm bells and flashing warnings over any number of issues. But insurance isn't that high on the list. Seems like threatening a government shutdown over insurance is tailormade to encourage defections among at-risk Democrats.
