Its silly - but its the only realistic option. And people saying 'screw the democrats' and not voting just leads to more republicans. It gets you further away from you want.

But it's not wrong that people expect more from the officials that they voted in and that the gun fails more than 1% of the time. There are mechanisms in place.
For instance, they could make BBB better so that Manchin approves it, ie, protecting energy while still addressing climate change instead of a massive new green deal. And then Democrats throw up their hands saying that the Senate is undemocratic.
