As much as I dislike the Republican Party can you imagine a world where they have 51 votes in the senate, a majority in the house, and get dick all done because of a couple holdout aholes are flexing on the entire party? They’d literally murder them.

Both Sinema and Manchin are hanging on to power by a thread and narrowly won their states. Manchin lost heavy ground to Republicans and needs to be more moderate to taper the red surge in W Virginia, while Sinema is just being Sinema and is a wolf in sheep's clothing playing both sides.
They aren't the Democrats biggest problem (well I guess Sinema sure as heck is a problem), removing them and putting more progressive Democrats instead and both states are lost to Republican senators most likely.
