far smarter than Republicans, but we need more to offset the advantages that lawlessness and willingness to destroy give them. As for Manchin and Sinema, they're two of approximately 8 to 10 Democrats, whom the voters of 8 to 10 states elected, who want the bills scaled down. The Democratic legislators elected by over 80 million voters are SUPPOSED to have disagreement and are SUPPOSED to arrive at compromises that serve all but seldom give any one group complete victory.

What's not normal is the enormous stakes right now created by the Republican treason.

Btw, imo, you should take a long, cool look at the sources that lead you to think this way.
