You're just channeling Bernie Sanders who said that legislation is opposed by ONE senator.
No, sir. It's opposed by 51 senators. THAT'S what democracy looks like.
As Byron York tweeted (paraphrasing), "Perhaps the rules of the Senate should be changed so that it's only 48 senators that need to vote on a bill to get it passed."
ETA: And (pounds fist on table) we are NOT a democracy, and haven't been for almost 250 years.

I believe that I was the one that pointed out that it was 51 senators, and more importantly millions of their constituents that blocked that travesty of a bill.
