Manchin says he's 'not a roadblock' for Biden's priorities

42. Nice over reaction to a legitamite point

You sound like fun. This is like screaming about how the Nazis are to blame, not their sympathizers and enablers. Well, calling out evil to evil's face is massively effective, as we have seen for literally decades now. Why does he have to be the deciding vote? Why is voting with the Democrats on some issues win blind support on others? The GOP is not going to budge on H.R. 1. Manchin and Sinema are actively threatening to block reform. Having that "D" by their name doesn't make them heroes by default. If the GOP successfully engineers the electoral college via their current barrage of regressive legislation, it won't matter what Manchin or Sinema supported as it will all get torn down, or did you miss the how well the Obama administration's legacy was treated the second Trump was in power?

Here's an idea, how about YOU explain why Manchin and Sinema oppose abolishing the filibuster, or even reforming it. Why does Manchin suddenly develop grave concerns over bill provisions the second corporate tax increases are on the table? How about when he mocks a $15 minimum wage to a group of industry executives (or Sinema's bold thumbs down).

Convince me this is all smart politics.
