Those are all Democrats. If those Democrats aren't the reason, who is?

You think some of the Dem Senators would vote differently if it weren't for the opposition? Maybe so. When everyone knows a vote will go one way, you can never tell whether people are "sincere" voters.

Still, it can't be that 49 out of 50 Senate Dems are all against the mild social democratic reforms being rejected by the 50th.
