So you're mostly interested in trolling and blaming Democrats as a group rather than electing enough willing Democrats to actually change things.

You're lumping the whole group together, which isn't a good way to describe what happened when 50 Republicans wanted to block and somewhere around 3-5 Democrats out of 50 wanted to.

I'm not "making execuses" for it — I'm pointing out the reality that the votes to end it haven't been there, and how that happened.
