Again - nothing you can do about Manchin. Use any other candidate in West Virginia and you lose by 30 points. You need enough seats to work around him on these issues.
The whole filibuster thing will be an issue to win the nominations going forward - although more likely is the Republicans win the Senate back and get rid of it themselves - so I suspect the Democrats won't nominate anyone like her in states they might actually win.
Progressives can live in a fantasy land of a 3rd party ever having control of anything in the US or figure out how to work within the system.
