Why did the democrats block a bill to fund the military during their shut down of government?

Full list of Democrats who voted against paying US Military during shutdown

The Republicans rejected an alternative bill from Democrats that would have paid more federal workers.

The majority of Democrats voted against reappropriating funds to pay U.S. military personnel and essential workers on Thursday, in a key vote that could mark a turning point in the standoff between the two parties as the federal government shutdown continues.

The vote failed 54-45, preventing the bill from reaching the threshold to pass the "Shutdown Fairness Act." This followed Republicans blocking a bill proposed by Democrats that would have paid all federal workers, members of the military, and federal contractors while also blocking President Donald Trump from attempting mass layoffs during the shutdown.

There can only be one answer, it is because the democrat party wants to inflict as much pain to the American people as they can after they manufactured the shutdown, a shutdown that made sure democrats in Congress are getting paid, so that they could try to blame the GOP for all of it.

There can be no other explanation.

Democrats would rather provide free healthcare to illegals.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

It's very simple. They hate this country.

Put simply.....They are vile assholes.

Enemy democrats want to inflict pain. They think of it as leverage.

Trump administration posts notice that no federal food aid will go out Nov. 1​

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid will not go out Nov. 1, raising the stakes for families nationwide as the government shutdown drags on.

The new notice comes after the Trump administration said it would not tap roughly $5 billion in contingency funds to keep benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly referred to as SNAP, flowing into November. That program helps about 1 in 8 Americans buy groceries.

ask Schumer.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Democrats always want shutdowns to hurt people as much as possible.

They are nothing but political demons.

 

[Darkwind]

It is part of the calculus.

The more people the Democrats can hurt, the better.

They want to paint the GOP with this pain, but they are losing that fight.

Schumer is to stupid to understand that and/or those advising him are too stupid to understand that.

OR: he lives in a bubble and only knows what his masters tell him.

The House is not even in session; the shutdown is 100% on the GOP.

Why don’t Republicans give Democrats a bill the Democrats like so the Democrats can accept it in military members get paid? Republicans love the shut down.

Because of the way they have framed this, that would be caving to Trump.

 

[my2¢]

To answer the question posed in the thread title this is what I read as to the way it went down:

With unpaid staff and law enforcement standing nearby, Republicans objected as Democrats proposed a voice vote on their legislation to pay all federal workers and prevent President Donald Trump’s administration from mass firings. Democrats then blocked a Republican bill to pay employees who are working and not furloughed, 54-45.

From my reading of the Bible, in both Old and New testaments, withholding payment to workers is seen as an injustice and grave sin. Shame on the Democrats and what leadership there is in Washington is simply appalling.

Anything to disrupt American lives while hoping it makes Trump look bad is what Dems are about
