Republicans gonna Republican. Neither have the R next to their name but we know what they are.

It's a disgrace Sinema is allowed to be elected running as a democrat and then switch up her party like that. The moment she announced she was leaving the Dems it should have been a by-election.

One of the few positives from the 2024 election is a real Democrat will be taking her seat.

I blame that old ass c00n James Clyburn for carrying water for Biden. If Biden was never the nominee, Trump would have probably won the 2nd term but we would be wrapping this shyt up. Then Clyburns dumb ass protege became the party chair and let the senate, house and presidency slip away. Now trump set to be a dictator, and all he got done was one lone Supreme Court justice.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
He was also a weak President. He let those 2 walk all over him. A President with nuts would have ended their careers right then. There were even reports both of them were waiting for him to retaliate. When he didnt do shyt they went wild.

I think a lot of it was age. He didn't have the energy to fight
Not only Biden. It also says a LOT about Democrat leadership. They pressed progressive members of congress to either bend the knee or simply get them out of their seat. When they WANT to get shyt done, they have shown they could do it. So in this instance (and others), Manchin and Sinema are only doing what Democrats allow them to do. Everything happens for a reason. The only thing that has happened over the last 4 years, Democrats didn't have control over or manipulate was Harris being endorsed by Biden. So every time Manchin and Sinema blocked a bill, it was because Democrats wanted it to be blocked.

I voted for Sinema in the Senate election, I'm sorry. :snoop: The other chick was worse, I had to.
Manchin is an agent. His sole purpose is the fyck up Dems. :manny:

The Democrats need to figure out how to expand the Senate map. Their ceiling is only 52. GOP can get to 62.

They only had 50-50 with VP Kamala as the tie breaker for the first two years and a 51-49 the next two years.

It’s actually incredible that we got the American Rescue Plan, Inflation Reduction Act, and all of Biden’s good populist appointments in during this four years (2021-2025) the Dems had the majority in the U.S. Senate and from 2021-2023 in the U.S. House.

But Manchin and Sinema killed these appointments for NLRB and the $3.5 trillion Build Back Better bill that would have helped so many families.

The GOP is coming in with 53-47. Thankfully Baldwin won in WI, Slotkin won in MI, Gallego won in AZ and Rosen won in NV.

The GOP was close to getting 56 seats!!

Why are these 2 still alive?

I would a killed them both at home in front of their families my first week as president.

Manchin deserves it on live TV, Sinema deserves it in her backyard in private in front of family and neighbors.

When we just start knocking these folks off in public then shyt will change IMMEDIATELY.

You could say the same for Obama with Lieberman and the public option which is how got the ACA which is practically 2% change considering the supermajority the Dems held. The reality is the donors and Biden himself did not want the full build back better proposal. So if it wasn't Manchin and Sinema it would have been someone else.

The good thing is if democrats are remotely competent which is in doubt collins in maine should be in big trouble that is a blue state that voted biden and harris she has no business being the senator there and voting in line with GOP and blocking democratic agendas and judges, roy cooper would be a credible challenger in north carolina re elected twice even when trump won the state, the huge dissapointment was casey losing in PA to a trump hack and lackey like mccormick that one stings, but PA is a swing state/purple state, he won by a few thousand votes they will another chance in 6 years to get that seat back, right now all hands on deck for ossoff if kemp runs thats going to be a tough race but still feasible

Manchin and Sinema are being team players by taking on the bad cop role.
