Since the GOP had its own dissenters on the budget, Democrats could have started by not voting for the budget without extracting concessions.

When Democrats were in power, the Republicans found all sorts of ways to gum up the works.

trump would love a government shutdown, as he has proven. I really doubt shutting down the govt would change any situation when trump is legislating by executive order, and mostly a shutdown would hurt Americans. You're trying to simplify something that isn't simple at all, and blame the Democrats for not doing what an armchair expert wants.
