The Senate is broken plain and simple
There is no reason on God's green earth that these negotiations should have been postponed so long. Sinema, in particular, at the last second reversed the positions upon which she campaigned to oppose the bill. This should have been settled in August. No marathons, no trips home for spa days, no teaching her class, no nothing until this bill gets passed. That is what should have happened. Instead, we let two people continue to run out the clock and live their lives as if nothing happened. The first time Sinema pulled a reversal of her previous position there should have been an two ads produced. One thanking her for letting Medicare negotiate and one running her ad where she favored that, cut to a scene of her being handed bags of money, and her then opposing it. One ad runs you have 24 hours to decide which one. The ad buy should have saturated Phoenix, Tucson, and Mesa. Let her know that the bull shit stops now. That is what should have happened. Instead, we have had the Senate do nothing at all. Not a god damned thing other than approve judges (which to be fair is important).
