The thing we have to remember about throwing blame on democrats is that they currently don't have a true majority. They don't have a 50 person coalition willing to take on these issues. Their best play is to use Sinema and Manchin when they can and at least retain control of the senate and the committees and the agenda. But they can't cross them. If they pressure Manchin too much he'll just switch parties. What exactly do you want them to do?

If America wants better, they need to vote for the party that at least tries to represent the people on these issues. But instead they infight because said party with no real political power doesn't give them enough free college.

At this point though, with all the despicable things the religious right has done to our country, if we can't even get enough support for an opposition, then we deserve to be governed by the minority.

America is broken beyond repair. Full stop.
