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?

The media Republicans and Democrats would demonize progressives, they don’t really demonize manchin that’s why

I’m in favor of breaking the duopoly.

It’s not bowing, it’s accepting reality. Am so furious at those 8, but, have you seen the other 50? Nothing can be done but work with what we have.

We need to vote in more democrats so that the vote is not so close every time.

The donor class is more important than the people. That needs to change before we break out the #PitchforksAndGuillotines and change things the old fashioned way.
