single out Manchin as you are implying and the article tgst posted from the Hill mentioned Manchin blocking President Biden ,( and rhe rest of the party's) broader agenda. You are fighting awfully hard to defend Manchin. A lot could have been accomplished in these last 16 months if Manchin and or Sinema did not kill the ability of the Democratic house the other 48 in the Senate and Presudent Biden from passing much more aggressive I frastructure and BBB bills.

Manchin made himself part of tge problem and he owns it.

Yes, it's the 50 senators but it's also Manchin. No one said blame it only on Manchin.

Hey, here's an idea: let's blame it on EVERY senator who refuses to implement any gun safety laws. That's 51 of them. Right?

You and me cant vote on this. Only the house and the senate can. 50 derelicts in the senate voted down backround checks while saying the Buffalo shooter was nuts. They have proportionately lopsided power in the senate but nearly 80% of voters think backround checks should be required. Hell damn near that many think Roe is right. Sorry, 50 people are stopping this and fuck Manchin, hes not the point.

Too many are making this (admittedly poetic) statement. WE HAVE TO SAY REPUBLICANS!!!

Because stupid people don't know who you mean unless you say it. We have not been saying it loud enough or often enough!

Our message can't spread unless we are specific. This is my campaign today because not enough people are blaming the actual people-- REPUBLICANS!

SAY THEIR NAME!!!

Bull crap. The power to blindly stop progress and say no is not power. If anything, they exercise their power to line their pockets. That’s not power. It is unvarnished greed.
