Time for Democrats to cut ties with Joe Manchin

[Celerity]

30. that is based off final votes only, it is laughable to imply Manchin supports Biden's agenda 100%

For instance he blocked Neera Tanden for OMB head, when he was the first and only (as Biden pulled her nomination soon thereafter) Dem Senator to come out publicly and officially on the record and say he would vole against her. Also, he and Sinema have shredded bills ($3.8 trillion and counting plus entire key centrepiece programmes gutted from both the BIF and the BBB Act as two examples) before they came to a final vote.

You are employing sophistry by trying to equate symbolic (and materially meaningless to passage) protest votes (that stopped NOTHING of Biden's agenda from passing) with Manchin's outright blockage and legislative component destruction that he and Sinema are actively engaging in.

The difference, (from that link you and others continually toss out to try and false frame/overstate things for approaching half a year now) between a perfect 100% record and the lowest Senator (in this case Sanders) in terms of a Biden score is TWO symbolic protest votes, one from winter 2021, and one from spring 2021.

Sanders voted against Vilsack (he and others wanted Marcia Fudge there) in February for Secretary of Agriculture, at the urging of multiple progressive (concerned about corporate consolidation of farming that Vilsack did little to stop his first go-round as AgSec) and black farmers/civil rights groups who vehemently opposed his track record, especially over the Shirley Sherrod case. (Vilsack was easily confirmed, 92-7 and afterward, Sanders said "I think he'll be fine, but not as strong as I would like." )

His other No vote, from late spring, was against the Endless Frontier Act, when Maria Cantwell tossed in an amendment that was a $10 billion giveaway to Bezos via Blue Origin and then actively worked to scupper his amendment that would have pulled it out. The Act past easily, 68-32.

Sanders materially blocked nothing via either protest vote.

Unlike Manchin and Sinema, Sanders (and the vast majority of other Dems) has been tirelessly trying to get as much as is possible of Biden's agenda passed intact.
