17. We'll never know how many favored this "deal" but voted "no" to save themselves from blowback by Dem voters

Peters and Ossoff changed their votes at the last minute to "no". Schumer voted "no" but did nothing in advance to discourage those who voted for it. And how many others were there who were in favor of caving but too afraid to do so publicly? So now we are supposed to get all excited to vote for more of them? Sorry, I will still vote for Democrats because there really is no other alternative but excited about it? Why would I be?
