44. WRONG. And the article is outdated, but since we are linking the previously referenced fascist friendly outlet:

...

The offer came after days of intense discussions on the Democratic side about the possibility of an off-ramp. Democrats had been demanding an extension of the ACA credits as a condition of reopening the government, but as the pain being caused by the shutdown intensified, a debate emerged between progressives and moderate-leaning members over whether to accept an offer from Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.).

That blueprint included a vote on a CR until January, and attached the minibus and a commitment to hold a vote to extend the ACA subsidies.

Talks continued until midday Thursday, when Democrats decided over lunch to unify behind a single plan by the party, which Schumer finally unveiled.

Taken from: https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5595545-schumer-plan-government-shutdown/

The shitty plan was THUNE'S offer -- NOT the handful of Democrats that are doing the negotiating and NOT Schumer's. And it was roundly rejected by the Democratic caucus as a whole, which then agreed to support Schumer's counteroffer, which he announced on the Senate floor in the speech I linked the video of in my other post.
