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?

Do you really need the CYST-em explained to your Marianne? Are you really that thick?
That's easy. Manchin and Sinema are sane and the progressives are actually regressive. Hope that helps

Maybe the whole progressive caucus in the house should refuse to vote for the bill if it doesn't have the 15 dollar minimum wage.

The Democratic Party exists to serve the capitalist class

I only wish that a could! Yes, they are corporate through and through, but their disdain and contrary actions towards progressives is a betrayal to their entire base!

The problem is that if you call Manchin’s bluff he actually doesn’t have a problem killing the bill because he’d rather not help anyone. Progressives actually care about helping people and therefore it is weaponized against them.

Nobody bowed to them, they didn't have the votes. What is it that you can't understand about that?
