We can pass what we want in House, but we need EVERY member of OUR caucus to win in the Senate... and that's only if we are willing to eliminate the filibuster (or bypass). I am in favor of that, but in case, you must get your own caucus on board to do ANY of that. And right now Manchin is saying he opposes eliminating the filibuster.

We have to do more that just get mad, IMO.
