Since the democrats are not the ones in power at the moment, don't they have the bigger obligation towards the position of the people who voted for them. Which would be exactly the demand they are making right now.

The party who is running the country does in theory have an obligation to all Americans, the opposition has an obligation to their own block.

The Republicans are literally starving poor people. People who are on SNAP who have less than 3k in their bank accounts.

Hateful and incompetent is how most people would describe that.

Both parties are to blame.

About a decade ago, Tea Party Republicans were in the minority, they refused to approve the budget as the Democrats are doing now.

At that time, Democrats accused the Republicans of ‘holding the government hostage’. Now the roles are exactly reversed.

It’s games as usual.

Democrats refuse to vote the budget because the GOP removed almost all healthcare funding from it and won't compromise on that. If this budget passes as is, millions will die of preventable diseases. How is it on democrats?
