    Were you paying attention the last several times he’s tried to do more and gotten blocked at every turn by people who can’t see past their own gains?

      He’s not even being blocked by his own party this time.

      Granted, they probably would have if he hadn’t waited until they didn’t have a majority.

          Excuses. Manchin and Sinema represented everything the party is about to absolute perfection.

              They were the US’ second conservative party’s designated obstructionists, making sure that the ambitions the party pretends to have for votes were in no danger of coming to pass.

              If the party ever moves to the left I’ll change my assessment. Until then, Manchin and Sinema are the party.
