    Manchin and Sinema. Why are you trying to blame the Dem party for people that don’t vote along party lines. That’s an obvious bad faith argument.

      They did their jobs. They voted like leadership wanted. There are always just enough Manchins.

      The people gave Democrats a majority. They found enough no votes. Like fucking always.

        Manchin and Sinema exist because any politician can just claim to be democrat and not vote along party lines. For you to act like it is some conspiracy by the democrats to not follow through on what they worked for is a bad faith argument.

        Isn’t it more likely that republicans, the group that actively blocks all democrats out then up to it?

          Which also would be a conspiracy.

            There is evidence of republicans trying to stop Democratic legislation. There is none of the Democratic Party trying to stop the Democratic Party

              There is plenty of evidence of Democrats trying to stop progressives. Why would that be limited to progressive candidates and not progressive legislation?
