In reply to the discussion: Scoop: Sinema issues ultimatum to Biden [View all]JT45242
(2,237 posts)9. Playing russian roulette with a magazine clip
If Sinema and her ilk kill these two bills -- the (R)'s will win by running aginst the 'do nothing democrats' -- they promised all this stuff and then lied to you. The Dems are always the 'do nothing partner' what got passes from 2010-16 that helped you? Nothing. President Obama did nothing to help you. What got passed to help you by Biden -- nothing -- nothing for roads, bridges, or anything else. The Dems do nothing to help you."
McTurtle doesn't even need the filibuster to beat us when Sinema and her ilk will beat us on their own.
The sheer stupidity of this is mind boggling.
Looks like whoever bought her votes got their money's worth.

Politico deflects -- this is either horse race news re Sinema, or a narrative of Dems in disarray.
