the current reality is what it is

Right now it boils down to the President or Manchin & Sinema getting to set our agenda.

And when I hear "both sides" talk I shudder, since one of those "sides" is so much smaller than the other yet want not just an equal voice but veto power.

I appreciate your point that as one person, the President should not have total say, but he is the leader of our party and has consulted with all wings of the party. Manchin and Sinema have not.
