After a near-coupe and impending fascism this actually isn't encouraging at all. All of that should have motivated every Dem and "sane" GOPer to kill the filibuster to expand voting rights.

 

Expected, but ultimately a disappointment still. There should be no faith in the current Democratic leadership going forward. Maybe even the mainstream of the entire party too.

Why is Democratic leadership to blame for Manchin and Sinema?

I say this above on occasion when frustrated but you can bet that should Biden do that he would be impeached and removed because democrats are dupes

Because they were unable to whip their caucus into line for possibly the most important piece of legislation in a decade. They were ineffective at messaging its importance to the public. They were unable to apply pressure. They're useless.

Old school GOP senators and SCOTUS members and ex-leaders and all that are probably against the coming fascist takeover of the US, in principle. But...they will go along with it since it's their team. It's really as simple as that.

One last thing but if the plan was “put it on the floor and dare them to vote against it” (as they kept telling you over and over again that they would vote against it) that makes you a complete idiot if you thought that they would move on this. it was readily apparent months ago to anyone with ears that listen and eyes that read that this was going to happen. 
 

this whole leadership is just as dumb as manchin and Sinema but at least their heart appears to be in the right place and wanted to do the right thing. Those two have room temp iq (if the heat was out in late January in Quebec) and there’s no excuse for them. 
 

going back to the senate being a judicial confirmation factory as that’s all they can really do anymore (because it only requires a majority to do so!)
