(11,171 posts)The Democrats need to bring Sinema and Manchin to heel now, or the game is lost.
The Senate is either evil and doing McConnell's bidding, or it is gridlocked and doing nothing...for going on 10+ years now.
The House is powerless. Its basically a circus of people wanting to be Senators, clown car escapees and nutbags garnering attention but not doing a damn thing. Nancy Pelosi has delivered dozens of bills that are languishing or dead in the Senate, so having the House has resulted in squat...even 2 Impeachments have been bamboozled and ended in acquittals for the guiltiest son of a bitch in recorded history.
The Presidency cannot act without a functional Senate.
This whole thing is crumbling before our eyes and yet the alarms seem to be on snooze still...
