That title is quite loaded. You could also write "US government shuts down after Republicans refuse to compromise with Democrats". Such disagreements always come down to both sides -- either side could unilaterally solve the disagreement by giving in.

Looks like that one is flagged, though, so may not be around much longer.

Republicans control the House, Senate, and the White House. This Guardian title is simply wrong.
