0 Accountability
Not totally true.
A primary challenger can make a unpopular bill passed by the Senate a major campaign issue.
It would be on the incumbent to defend themselves with circumstantial evidence that they don't agree the unpopular bill and vow to try to overturn it.
Further, if a Republican is a "closet" Democrat (RINO, etc) then real Republicans can endorse primary challengers, etc.
A president like Trump can label them a "phony", for example.
And more than a single individual, the entire body as a whole can be held accountable. Ultimately, the President is the main individual held accountable due to veto power.
If you don't like what the Senate has done and the President didn't veto: campaign against the president.
