Manchin and Sinema say "No" and the whole party bows to them; progressives keep saying "Yes" so the party doesn't bow to them ever. Can anyone explain this to me?

You should consider than many “progressives” only voted yes because they knew it wouldn’t pass.

Rather than complaining that every Dem won’t vote the same way, maybe you should be complaining that they won’t present a bill that people on both sides of the isle would be willing to support.

Bow to them? Speak like an adult and maybe people will listen.

This is pretty simple. This was the day Student Loan forgiveness, $15 an hour & I expect the limits for any kind of reform got set. washingtonpost.com/us-policy… - @POTUS, @WhipClyburn @SpeakerPelosi @LeaderHoyer @SenSchumer @Sen_JoeManchin work for their donor-partners, not us.

Progressives will vote for the imperfect while Manchen and Sinema won’t.

Nobody is bowing to anybody. That may be the explanation.

They know the base will vote for Blue no Matter Who. How is it possible that you’re still pretending you don’t get this? We told you BEFORE you voted for them that this would happen.

Not so you'd understand.

makes perfect sense to me. The greatest abuse of power is the failure to use it.
