But having Manchin dog every legislative action of Dems in the Senate, thereby stalling any real progress of Biden's agenda, will discourage voters that already see House and especially Senate Dems, as weak and ineffective against Republicans.

The impact I'm worried about is disaffected and/or disenfranchised Dem voters that lose faith in Dems ability to do anything productive in the Senate and just don't show up to vote.

Why would they vote for more stagnation and hand wringing?
