Damn it’s really wild that the exact number of democratic senators needed to successfully stop the GOP from doing something awful is always one more than they have!!!!

Most people seem to have ended up being only angry at the small group of yes votes while giving a pass to those who cast meaningless no votes while refusing to criticize Schumer and the plan.
If you gave the Dems 99 Senate seats, they'd refuse to do anything until the 1 Republican agreed. If you gave the Republicans 99 Senate seats, they'd figure out a way to get rid of the 1 Democrat.

How many Democratic Senators have publicly even criticized Schumer, much less called for his removal as leader?
He's not up for reelection until 2028.
Somebody isn't up for election for quite a few years.
