It takes two to have a disagreement. The House did its job by passing a bill and sending it to the Senate. If the Democrats don't have any demands, that either means they completely agree and will pass the bill or they are planning to default. I don't believe they completely agree with the bill and I certainly hope they aren't looking for default. The last messaging I heard is the Democrats are DEMANDING a bill solely for raising the debt ceiling. So yes, the Democrats are "making demands and threatening to drive off the cliff if those demands are not met".
