The Republicans rather obviously bear the lion’s share of the blame.
However, that was the Republicans’ designated role from the start. Their job was to represent the interests of their plutocratic cronies and patrons by killing a program that spent money to benefit poor people, so they were just doing what they were meant to do and what they were expected to do.
On the other hand, the Democrats’ job was to protect a program that benefitted poor people, and they miserably failed at that job. In fact, they didn’t even simply fail - they forfeited. They gave up even trying.
So you are saying this is all the fault of Democrats?
Of course not. Don’t be a simpleton.

And they very much deserve condemnation for that.
