This topic is undemocratic because it's part of the constant attempts to rephrase and resubmit the same unpopular proposal.

It's p-hacking democracy. If a proposal has 5% chance of passing just resubmit it twenty times under different names with minor variations.

It wastes time that lawmakers could spend on proposals that the public actually want.

It hasn't been resubmitted yet, has it? The proponents keep it alive without putting it to an actual vote, AIUI. They try to wait until they think they have a majority, and keep their proposal ready for a vote on short order before their majority dissipates.

Which is many things, I' might call it cynical, but it doesn't seem undemocratic.
