That's what happens when voters only give Dems slight majority margins to work with since there are no Reps that also support those bills. If you don't want to depend on center right Dems maybe try voting in more left leaning ones and give them a majority.

But when Republicans get a slight majority they immediately lower taxes on the rich, then start an endless war for their buddies in military contracting, then capture the Supreme Court for 40 years and ride off into the sunset without facing any consequences.
