1. It is wrong for them to hold up Biden.

Bernie Sanders:

“It is wrong, it is really not playing fair, that one or two people think that they should be able to stop what 48 members of the Democratic Caucus want, what the American people want,” Sanders said.

3. Exactly, very well said.

And we know that the people of West Virginia are overwhelmingly in favor of this legislation. Like Rachel said, Manchin has a history, but as for Sinema, no one can figure where she's coming from and she won't say...

5. Quinnipiac has Biden approval at 38%.

Independents a huge shift away. With redistricting favoring Repugs, pretty much guaranteed to lose the House and maybe the Senate if history is any guide with Biden's current ratings.

So Manchin and Sinema will guarantee themselves in the minority soon enough. And Sinema likely her Senate seat in 2024.

Guess the lobbyists pay well.
