1. Only after we hopefully get to replace a SCOTUS judge.

[Celerity]

15. Unfortunately, I think some are going to sorely disappointed if they think Manchin will

vote to put a RBG type on SCOTUS.

I also do not think Breyer is anywhere near a lock to retire before the midterms.

The true nightmare is if he does retire like 2 to 4 months before the midterms and Joe Coal says that we must wait until after the midterms.

[Mad_Machine76]

29. I had the same thought

that if Breyer retires, Manchin (or Sinema) will invoke the "McConnell Rule". That is about my level of cynicism about him right now.

[Fullduplexxx]

36. Gop says they will block any scotus pick

[Scrivener7]

2. Sure. And then we can all take a hammer to our own heads while we're at it.

Do you guys not understand how majorities work? Honest to god.

[sheshe2]

14. Thank you.

[Hekate]

27. Thank you

Ye gods

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

30. Well said

[Polybius]

3. I can't vote

Because you never gave the option of Manchin, but not Sinema.

[ColinC]

4. Neither should be expelled.

Dems getting a true majority would likely be punishment enough for them. Let's focus on that goal.

[Doodley]

5. Not expelled, but dig the dirt on him and blackmail him.

[AncientAndy]

31. He's been an elected Democrat for almost 40 years.

If Manchin had dirt on him, wouldn’t Republicans have exposed it a long time ago?

[MustLoveBeagles]

6. I'm going with option 3

Yes but only if we can get additional seats in the Senate next year. I'm so done with the both of them.

[TheRealNorth]

7. I voted no.....

As long as we are still getting judges and other appointments approved..

[texasfiddler]

8. The second that happens, the Federal Judge appointments stop. THAT IS NOT LOGICAL!!!!!

Biden is kicking ass right now with Federal Judge appointments. Primary Sinema and keep Manchin. I wanted BBB to pass very badly, but I suspected Manchin would do this regardless of infrastructure bill passage. We are lucky to have a senator that caucuses with the Democrats from the state of WV. We must add a couple more Dem. Senators in 2022 to make Manchin irrelevant.

[nycbos]

9. No we need judges.

[Deuxcents]

10. They were duly elected..

Time to give them some competition at the polls.

[tritsofme]

11. Why would anyone want to expel Chuck Schumer and install McConnell?

Is there anyone who doesn’t like judges being confirmed?

[dem4decades]

12. Do you have 4 other democratic Senators to replace them?

I think I'll cut off my nose to spite my face too.

[walkingman]

13. No - that would mean that McConnell would become Senate Majority leader.

We just need to elect more Democratic Senators.

I'm not a big fan of celebrity candidates but I wish Willie Nelson would run in Texas - I think he could win.

[LakeArenal]

16. No. Primaried. WV re-elected him 🤷🏼‍♀️

Change other minds not his.

[mvd]

17. I'm very tempted

Would love to do it. But the Turtle Senate majority leader again? That’s horrific. I will give the President and our other leaders trust that they can do something about Manchin.

[paleotn]

18. Unfortuantly no.

One thing both need to keep in mind. Don't enjoy being on top too much, because you never know when you'll find yourself at the bottom. A good reason never to shit on others or burn bridges unnecessarily. One day you may need their help. You'd think Manchin is old enough to know that, but some people never learn.

[leftstreet]

19. Investigate them instead

I mean a coal baron sits on the energy committee ffs

[2naSalit]

20. No but I would vigorously support a primary opponent.

[Tribetime]

21. Can we bribe murkowski just like what it seems McConnell is doing with mansion

It seems McConnell knew about this before Biden did....on the no vote

[Walleye]

22. She is about the only reasonable Republican Senate. they are all afflicted with congenital R fever

[Galraedia]

33. I said it months ago that dems were better off negotiating with a republican than with Manchin

All it takes is ONE republican replacing Manchin's vote and the bill passes. Sh*t direct any money that would have went towards infrastructure in West Virginia to Alaska.

[Tribetime]

38. At this point I trust you to be more honest than mansion

Mansion is now a proven liar

[JI7]

23. So you don't care about the judges that Biden has been appointing ?

[JohnSJ]

24. That cannot happen. A person can belong to whatever party they want to. The idiots in Wyoming

are saying that with Liz Cheney, thinking it has relevant. It isn’t.

[LeftInTX]

25. I know. Parties can only "censure"...whatever that means...LOL

We censured someone, so he responded by quitting midterm. (At first, he said he wasn't gonna run for re-election, then he just up and quit) So, the governor held a special election and now there is a Republican in that seat.

[Hekate]

26. Really?

[Mr. Ected]

28. No. The focus needs to be on growing the Party

Not shrinking it.

[AncientAndy]

32. Like what the Republicans did to Liz Cheney?

[Silent3]

34. I just hope they get a lot of cold shoulders from real Democrats n/t

[Takket]

35. 95% say no. I'd say that is pretty definitive!

[jcmaine72]

37. That depends on the following...

Do we expect that (D) next to Manchin and Sinema's name to actually mean something, or, at the end of the day, is all this simply another team sport, where, as a fan, you root for a uniform no matter who is wearing it?

If the answer is the former, then Manchin and Sinema should be strongly encouraged to migrate to the political party (R) where their hearts obviously lie.

If the latter, then, what the hey! Let's just join hands with the "There's no difference between the two parties" crowd, shut our brains off, bend over and grab some ankle, and enjoy the ride.

[iemanja]

39. That would be insane

It would hand the Senate over to the GOP.
