Democrats voted on a resolution for an arms embargo, and the vote failed
This could mean the Democrats voted for the resolution, but it failed. It could also mean the Democrats voted against the resolution, making it fail. All we know is the Dems voted, and the vote failed. The statement isn’t clear which way they voted.
My first assumption was that it was only the Democrats voting, which seems to have been the case, as it was a DNC internal vote. If there were more than democrats voting on it, then to say that it was the democrats who were voting would seem to me to be unnecessary or misleading.
They certainly could have mentioned the DNC in the title to make it more more clear, though.
Your explanation isn’t straightforward though.
