But it's the only way to make Manchin and Sinema irrelevant.

Actually, if we want to abolish the filibuster, we only need three more Democrats who will vote to abolish the filibuster, and then they're irrelevant. But if we keep the filibuster, we'd need 10 more Dems. And that ain't gonna happen.

So let's look at states with good Dem challengers to R senators and work like hell to get them elected. Three more Dems doesn't seem to be insurmountable.
