    Bruh Sinema left the Democratic Party and Manchin was a Democrat in Name Only. The Dems were quite literally handicapped legislatively, I dont fully agree with American Democracy, but I am aware of its nuances, dont be asinine.

      No. They ran as Democrats. They had the party’s financial support during their elections. You don’t get to retroactively disown them now that they’ve blocked legislation that the party never had any intention of passing.

      There are always enough manchins.

        I’m not a Democrat, but ok. However, THEY disowned the Democratic party my guy, they quite literally were bought out by special interests, the party had every intention of passing a shit ton of legislation, you are sorely misinformed. I had extremely low expectations for Biden’s administration and he exceeded almost every one of them. Facts dont care about your feelings.

          I have no reason at all to believe this.

                Bruh i literally explained why they couldn’t pass as much as they wanted and your response was that you didn’t believe they wanted to pass anything. Lol, lmao even.

                  Predicated on the unknowable notion of whether they wanted to or not.

                  You take them at their word that they wanted to pass stuff. I don’t. Your unfounded belief that politicians are telling the truth isn’t a fact, and I’ve never claimed that my speculation is.

                    They literally tried and voted on them, but were prevented by Sinema and Manchin Educate Yourself and stop basing your views on how you feel. Done with this conversation.
