That is because it is the Republicans in general and two Republicans in particular...one who's strings are being pulled and the second who is doing the pulling!  At the moment, representative democracy does not exist in the USA due to the corrupt and dictatorial mind of Donald Trump!

Senate rules PERMIT the Majority leader to control what legislation advances, they do not REQUIRE him to do so!  There are dozens of bills that would pass with large bi-partisan majorities and that have the support of the American people except for Trump and Mitch...every single person who reads this knows that is a fact!  It is not the fault of rank and file Democrats or Republicans, it is the fault of 2 deplorable individuals!
