8 out of the 215 voted for it and to you that means the entire 215 is "controlled opposition"?

And those other 207 democrats have denounced them, and the DNC leadership has decided to defund their future campaigns then?

Sometimes Dems and Reps will figure out how many are safe to break ranks and vote on an issue to kill/pass it so that a safe few get the blame rather than the entire party. I don't subscribe to the common view that Dems and Reps are essentially a uniparty but they do move similarly often.

Centrists blame voters for less.
