It might look that way to you but it's not that way. Two Democrats in the Senate are against almost every progressive idea (IMHO). Even if all of the Democrats except for those two want something they have to convince a couple of Republicans to go their way. Those 2 sensare basically the most powerful people in the Senate.

That part of the Senate is working as it was designed.*

Those two Senators are from more conservative states and they know if they don't toe the line their constituents will likely throw them out for GOP alternatives.

*In fact, the Senate was originally appointed by each state's legislators and the House was the only Congress elected by popular vote.
